Part of my job managing EMC’s Internal Career Community involves giving people the skills to help them find and move into new roles within the organization.
To help them do that, we’ve put together a collection of resources around resume writing and effective interviewing. You don’t have to work here to take advantage of these resources though - we’re giving them away!
9 Great Resources for Job Seekers
On the EMC Career Center Slideshare account, you can download nine (yes, nine!) great resources for job seekers.
These aren’t nine tips. These are nine actual, usable, free tools.
Here’s what you’ll find:
- Resume Zen Presentation. How to write clear, effective resumes.
- Resume Zen eBook. Not in the mood to sit through a presentation? Read the ebook instead, complete with lots of white space and nifty graphics!
- Resume Writing Quick Guide. The condensed version for the pro on the go!
- Resume Action Words. Find yourself using the same three words over and over again? This is the tool for you!
- Resume Template. I’m almost sad to put this out there because it’s been one of my secret weapons when job hunting.
- Effective Interviewing Presentation. Nail your next interview!
- Effective Interviewing eBook. Once again, the presentation in portable ebook format.
- Interviewing Quick Guide. The lazy-man’s (or woman’s) guide to interviewing.
- Common Interview Questions. Practice with a friend!
You need to sign-up for a free Slideshare account to download these tools, but you can view them without an account.

For all my knowledge as a writer, I had never, even once, encountered someone who knew how to write a good resume, what HR professionals require from one, and what their needs are and how to write to fill those needs via a resume, using the resume a a medium.
Let me not mince words: THANK YOU. I watched the embedded Resume Zen presentation. I focused not only on what you said, but on how you presented it visually while consistent with the Zen aesthetic (which is something I seek to master), allowing me to learn from not only the tangible, but the intangible.
I believe I have learned much.

Jeremiah,
I'm glad I could take at least some of the mystery out of the process for you. The honest truth is that unfortunately, different HR peeps are looking for different things. And unfortunately, some of them use pretty screwy criteria to eliminate people.
But pulling from the job description is usually a safe bet (and at the very least, takes some of the guess work out of the process).
Best of luck, and thanks for the kind words!
Chris
