By : Sangeetha Atul

More than 60% of employers are not satisfied with the quality of graduates-TOI News 19-Jul-2010.

I was wondering whether this price of information in the National daily was really true. I did meet graduates with less employability skills during my entire recruiting process period for the Resume Services business that I run, but a staggering 60% and above really draws the attention to the loop holes in our education and training system.

According to experts, there are a minimum of 5 skills required by any individual to succeed in his professional career. Whether he is a fresh graduate or experienced person, manager or vice president, Chief Executive Officer or anybody - these 5 skills help him to climb up the ladder of professional success very easily and efficiently.

1. Academic skills - This is your academic qualification or expertise, your knowledge of domain area that will make you eligible to apply for a particular job.

2. Mathability skills - This is your basic science and mathematics skills which will enable you to understand a new job, reasoning etc.

3. Communication skills - This is your oral communication, language, reading, writing and listening skills.

4. Personality development skills - This is your ability to perceive and offer information, Out-of-the-box thinking ability, your confidence levels etc.

5. Presentation skills - This is your computer related documentation skills (word processing, spread sheets, Presentations etc), your mannerisms, your dressing style, your attitude etc.

So, having a good educational qualification with basic science and mathematics skills, being good at English, having superb confidence in yourself, and with computer skills there are a good number of people who do not make it to their dream job. They keep wondering about the status of their application send to a particular job posting.

SO

What is it that makes you stand out in the crowd?

What is it that makes you get the Interview call?

What is it that takes you to your dream job?

What is it that makes your employer say "WOW" about you?

What is it that leaves your competition far behind you?

In my view, definitely it is your RESUME. It is your winning and cutting RESUME. It is your personal profile or Bio-data about you, which if well crafted and well presented compels your prospective employer to summon you for an interview. A good resume creates a sense of curiosity about you and an urge to meet you. Your prospective employer would want to put a face to that wonderful resume of yours and he would waste no time in hiring you.

So, however well qualified you are, whatever trainings you may have undergone, get your attitude right and get yourself a Winning Resume done by professional experts. A Professional Resume writer understands his business very well and your requirements too! So you prepare for the interview from your dream company and get yourself a professionally crafted Resume.
