Did you know that…on average 70% of all technical resumes submitted to clients are rejected without ever speaking to a candidate.  No matter how qualified and talented you may be, it all starts with your ticket in the door… your resume.

To stand out in a competitive IT job market, it is imperative that you have a flawless, skillfully crafted resume.  Make no mistake, it is not a choice, but a requirement.

Hiring companies are always inundated with resumes, and always short on time.  Most are left with no choice but to simply reject any resume that does not quickly tell them everything they want to know about a candidate.  Their goal is for the actual interview to be a formality, a personality check,  and verification that the skills stated on a resume are true.

Most Information technology candidates fail miserably in this area. They have technical minds, thus marketing their careers is rarely considered. They believe their technical skills are all that is needed.  Additionally, IT professionals overwhelming believe they have already have a well written resume. Unfortunately these beliefs are far from the truth... far from the reality.

Duke Staffing highly recommends that if you have not done so, that you take the time and get your resume re-written from the ground up by professionals that write information technology resumes.  Because we see daily the consequences of a poorly written resume,  we can not stress enough the importance of making this a priority.
