Learn how to write a resume that earns you interviews
Google and Apple always dominate the first positions when employees vote for the most admired employers. Do you know who the most admired employers are in the eyes of other employers?
Well, you may not have thought about this. It is McKinsey. How do I know? Because I’m a headhunter. I’m not here to advertise for McKinsey. Nor is there a public poll on the topic. It is from my personal experience as a headhunter. Many employers had their pupils dilated when they found the word McKinsey on a resume; some even specifically require candidates with McKinsey experience. Of course we won’t tell candidates about this in order not to violate any discrimination law.
McKinsey is one of the world’s top consulting firms with major rivals being Bain and BCG.
My topic today is “How to Write A Resume”. So what has McKinsey to do with this? There is one big good reason I pick McKinsey to kick start my resume writing section in this blog. Because if you know how McKinsey reviews your resume or what they expect from your resume, there is a great chance that other employers are looking for the same.
In fact, McKinsey sets very clear and informative guidance in resume writing in their website. One of the most comprehensive and well written among many of the world’s top employers’ websites. If you want to write a compelling resume that earns you interviews, begin with McKinsey’s resume guidance on Education, Experience, Skills and Achievements and Languages.
