Resume writers need to focus on what skills and capabilities they can demonstrate, according to industry specialists.Wyatt, 55, has been working as a teacher, counsellor and education co-ordinator for nearly two decades. Most of his positions have been at international schools all over the world, although his most recent roles, as an academic counsellor, co-ordinator and lead teacher at a virtual school, are based in Calgary.
He felt restricted by the routines of his prior workplaces, so Wyatt is hoping to find a position that is more fluid. “I enjoy the challenges of taking on different tasks, dealing with new situations and multi-tasking,” he says. Wyatt would like his next job to tap his entrepreneurial spirit, and to work for a company that recognizes hard work, trusts its employees to get work done and is innovative.
At the moment, Wyatt is just applying to jobs that he sees online and is not doing any networking. Mr. Greenway says that sending in job applications online results in a mere 8 per cent chance of getting an interview. “Instead of trying to fit himself into the ads, Wyatt’s best strategy would be to determine two roles which he is curious about doing and then talk to at least five people who are doing those jobs,” says Mr. Greenway.
