Anatomy is most widely defined as the scientific shape and structure of living organisms and their parts – like plants, animals, and humans. It can also refer to the detailed examination or analysis of something nonliving – like a presidential campaign.

Which style of anatomy does your résumé project – lifeless like a political commercial, or is it active in a way that pulls the reader into all parts of the message you want to deliver?

Here are six (6) extremely important tips that will help bring your résumé alive and create the core objective of showcasing your value to potential employers.

• Tip #1 - The Job Target. Does it quickly communicate the goal and purpose of your job search?
  
  
• Tip #2 - Organization. Is it "reader friendly"? Can it be scanned in less than 30 seconds?
  
  
• Tip #3 - Hot Buttons. Does it create immediate interest? Does it have "punch"?
  
  
• Tip #4 - Emotion. Does it display personality?
  
  
• Tip #5 - First Impression. Is it projecting professionalism?
  
  
• Tip #6 - Uniqueness. How does it stand out, or is it a "look-alike"?

Remember, you don't get hired for bringing your need to an employer and you don't make money for the time you spend there - you get hired for bringing your value to the employer and you are paid for the accomplishments you achieve during the hours you are there.

Make sure your résumé is alive with the value you can bring to others and you will find yourself needing someone to manage your interview schedule!
