How Writing Resume at 50-Year-Olds Can Get You That Job!I'm an old timer and a fifty-year-old writer who got laid off in the recent economic collapse. I've been writing resumes for over three decades and it's been amazing to see the current writing job market evolve from how it was just a few years ago.I remember in the late 1980s when employers would give you a stack of resumes for interview and the only thing you could do was decide which one to fill out first. The type of experience, education, and skill sets were more important than the uniqueness of your resume. No one today ever has to start from scratch with a new resume. Almost everything can be presented, or at least, designed with more ease and creativity.The modern resume is much different than the old fashioned, page upon page of medical terminology you had to write and add information about. With today's resume, it all boils down to one important thing - keywords. Keywords, rather than being the detail, will be the main point of focus in your resume.By knowing what the two main keywords are that employers and recruiters are looking for in your resume, you will have more control over your resume and be able to get it to show up on a computer screen. To find these keywords, go to the Internet and type the words you are looking for in Google.Now try using an extension like mine you might have heard of, such as mikebaby.com or mikehustle.com. Take a look at these sites and see how many people you find that are interested in your resume.Search Engine Optimization (SEO) helps get you higher up on the search engine rankings and gives you better visibility. Your resume is one of the first things someone will see when they search for a particular job.Using the Internet to help you in this process is very inexpensive. For example, if you know what your keyword will be, you can enter it in Google yourself, to see what people are searching for in this niche. Then, try using a free online service like oramaxpro .com.Oh, and don't forget to check out some people's websites and ebooks. Those are sure to be helpful. Also, visit forums where you can ask questions and other writers will do their best to help you.
