What's a Great Resume Worth?    

In Terms Of….

 

Basic Income

Obviously, a good resume is often the difference between a new job and a continued job search.  If you happen to be unemployed, every day of unemployment costs you money.

 

Let’s say Susan could be earning $25/hr.  Because of a deficient resume it takes her two weeks longer to find a job.                                                                          

Two Weeks  = 10 Work Days X 8Hrs X $25/Hr 

That’s $2,000 of Lost Income!!! 

            

Job Satisfaction and Enjoyment

The negative impact of a poor resume in terms of opportunity and job choice is more difficult to define than the above example.   Did Susan have to settle for a job?   Or did she get to choose between the best of several different offers?    It is impossible to put a price tag on job satisfaction.  A great resume can be the difference between a job you love and a job you settled for and cannot wait to leave.

 

Missed Opportunities

With a great resume Susan could have potentially increased her income beyond her current expectations.  Great resumes equal greater opportunities, which often translate to higher earnings.  The right resume can enable you to seize an opportunity that would otherwise be out of your grasp.
