CAREER EDUCATION. Telecommuting Resumes and Standard resumes?

Jobseekers often ask me what is the difference between a "standard" and resume a telecommute resume.
1. Telecommuting resumes must stand out.
Recruiters and hiring mangers are flooded with resumes when they send a telecommute work. I talked to a recruiter that stated that gets between 750 and 1,000 resumes every day whenever he articles of a project. Begins to taper off soon after the third day. So after just three days, would easily have more than 2,000 resumes to sort through.
Because of this, you must absolutely have a CV that stands apart from the crowd. I do not mean that you should add all kinds of colorful graphics and clipart-so don't go crazy. You should take time to make sure that the information is presented in a format that is easy to read and pleasant-eye. You will need to highlight your skills, your ability to work independently and your time management skills.
2. Telecommuting resumes are highly controlled.
Are competing with people all over the country instead of applicants only. The employer of telecommuting has the "cream of the crop" to choose from. They are going to analyze and make judgments on what they find in your resume.
You need to pay particular attention to spelling and grammar errors. Make sure that you are not using the word "I" anywhere on your resume. Pay attention to where to place commas and remember to end sentences with a period.
Don't rely on MS Word to teach proper grammar, those little green lines look intimidating, but you can make it go away (see below). Instead, consult a manual as the Gregg reference manual or some online manual.
3. Telecommuting resumes have to take the place of you.
The hiring manager is not going to be able to meet you. Can you call for a telephone interview, but that will do most of their hiring decision based on your resume alone. You want to make sure that you cover everything that you think is applicable and leave out information which are not. Read on your resume and think about what impression you make.
Also, if you have taken certification tests online (offered at Brainbench.com) be sure to add this information. If you belong to professional associations (such as the international Virtual Assistants Association) be sure to notice your curriculum. Go the extra mile could make the difference between an email regret, and "you're hired.
** How do those green wavy lines go away:
In Word 2002, go to "Tools" menu and scroll down to "options". When you click "options" a new window will open which has several tabs to choose from. Select the spelling and grammar ". Look for the checkbox that says "Hide grammatical errors in this document." Check the box and press the "OK" button. Voila! All the lines slightly misleading have disappeared.
