How To Grab A Hiring Manager’s

Attention In 10 Seconds…And Get

Called For The Job Interviews

In today’s hyper-busy world, a hiring manager has just about 10

seconds to decide whether to preselect your resume or trash it.

So what’s the best way to grab a hiring manager’s attention in 10

seconds or less?

After more than 4 years of studying human psychology and

advertising, here’s the most powerful way I’ve discovered:

Provide a compelling answer (in a few words) to the biggest

question that’s on the top of their minds.

But most importantly, make sure those few words can be read

within the first 10 seconds they set their eyes on your resume/CV.

For hiring managers and recruiters, the top question in their minds

for you the candidate applying for any job, is this:

Why Should I Hire You Over The Other

10999 Competing Candidates?

Simple but tough question, right?

If your resume or CV is not providing a compelling answer to this

question at a glance (in less than 10 seconds), then chances are

it won’t stand out from the crowd.

Period! End of story!

And therefore, it won’t be able to get you job interviews.

Here’s What I’ve Found…

After reviewing hundreds of traditional resumes, I’ve found that

99% of them are not answering this critical question at a glance.

And if you’re reading this, then probably yours too is missing the

mark on the answer to this obvious but crucial question.

And how do I know that?

Well, most job seekers want to be “traditionally-correct.”

Most job seekers simply follow the same old way resumes have

been written for decades…without ever giving a thought to

answering the #1 most important question that’s in every hiring

manager’s mind.

As is often the case, the simplest solutions are the best solutions.

Don’t try to follow any traditional resume-writing foolishness or

dogma.

After helping many professionals get job interviews with my

revolutionary VIP-Reserved Resumes™, I’ve found that the

simplest and most compelling answer to the above question

should be something in the lines of:

“Here’s Why I’m Different From The Other 10999 Candidates

And Here Are X Reasons Why You Should Hire Me…”

Below Are 5 Examples Of Interview-

Getting VIP-Resumes That Answer That

Crucial Question MOST Effectively…

Example #1: For a Client in USA

Example #2: For a Client in Australia

Example #3: For a Client in Nigeria

Example #4: For a Client in Dubai, UAE

Example #5: For another Client in Nigeria

Hope you enjoyed going through the samples.

Now here’s the Big Question:

What guarantees that the hiring manager will read those powerful

words within the first 10 seconds of setting their eyes on your

resume/CV?

Answer: The VIP-Resume is designed such that they MUST read

it.

Here’s why (actually there are 2 big reasons):

Reason #1: Those phrases have the BIGGEST font size (or

character size) on the page. So that’s where the eyes are

automatically and naturally pulled to.

This amazing VIP-Resume design was inspired from the way

magazine and newspaper headlines are written.

The headlines are always BIG and bold so that it’s the first thing

that grabs your attention. You can’t miss it!!

Reason #2: We humans mostly and naturally read documents

from left to right and from top to bottom.

And because the VIP-Resume is designed such that those

powerful phrases are the first thing you see from left to right and

from top to bottom, there’s no way you can miss reading them.

This concept is so crucial to point that we make sure the headline

comes even before the candidate’s name and personal

information…as opposed to the traditional resume.

Most importantly, the headline summarizes why the reader

should invest their time to read the document.

We’re living in a hyper-busy and distraction-full world. And so

everybody always ask themselves “is this worth my time?”, before

reading any document, whatsoever.

Your resume should be able to tell the hiring manager instantly in

a few compelling words why you’re the ideal candidate and why

they should pay serious attention on reading your resume.

But most critically, those words should be able to separate you

from the huge crowd of thousands of other job-hungry candidates.

And all that should be done within 6 to 10 seconds!!

Let me answer an obvious question you may be having in your mind

right now:

Who Am I?…And Why Should You Trust Me

…or read my career-growth advice columns in the

prestigious FORBES Afrique Magazine.

Arielle Ford Interviews Job-getting Expert Sylvester

Nkongho on « Meet the Experts » TV Show

“If you’re not where you want to be with your career, you better hook up with

Sylvester really FAST” —Arielle Ford, Host of Meet The Experts TV Show, TV Producer,

I joined the company back in 2004 as a young graduate, fresh

from school, with no experience, and a Masters Degree in

Industrial Engineering.

I was hired into a Graduate Trainee program that got me trained

into the activities of almost all the departments: from

manufacturing, engineering, logistics, sales and marketing, human

resources, and finally procurement.

But after settling down in procurement and working for another

couple of years, I got fed up with my job as Supplier Performance

Supervisor.

I found myself doing work that was practically reserved for a

Senior Manager position, but getting paid “peanuts” in return.

Even worse, I wasn’t recognized for all my brilliant efforts.

My selfish boss was rather playing company politics with my

desire for promotion.

She made me endless promises of a possible promotion so as to get

me work my ass off while she took all the credits.

When things went right with the work I did, she took all the glory.

When things went wrong I was blamed for screwing up.

I was constantly afraid of being fired someday, because I was

working with someone who didn’t have my best interest at heart!

I felt like my career was stagnating.

Being a fast learner and doer, I had rapidly outgrown my

responsibilities.

And so my job quickly became almost routine and less

challenging. And anytime I suggested a new way of doing

things…it was either turned down by my boss or being considered

a challenge to her competency.

I wanted a job where I could shine…that offered me the level of

responsibility, influence, autonomy, control, job satisfaction, but

most importantly, the kind of lifestyle I wanted for me and my

family.

I wanted to free myself from the hypocrisy, discrimination, nasty

company politics, and jealousy-induced conspiracies aimed against

me at my job.

I wanted to put a stop to me doing ALL the grunt work and “heavy

lifting” while some “bubble head” takes ALL the credit in the

name of being my boss.

I couldn’t stop hating my job as the days went by.

I couldn’t stop imagining the look on my jealous boss’s face the day I’d

finally announce to her that “I’m quitting and moving to a new and better

job.”

But Here’s Where It Got Even More

Frustrating

After I activated my “Plan B” and started looking for another job…I

didn’t land a single interview…even after sending out tons of resumes!

I Suspected There Was A Problem With My

Résumé And Cover Letter

So I bought all the books and courses I could lay my hands on that

carried advice on how to write attention-grabbing résumés and cover

letters and on how to ace job interviews.

Heck, I even enrolled into one of the most recognized certifications in

my field, the SPSM: Senior Professional in Supply Management. And I

became SPSM-certified.

In the next bunch of résumés and cover letters I sent out, I included all

the techniques I learned from my résumé writing books and courses as

well as made mention of my SPSM certification.

Yet to my greatest dismay, nothing happened!

I NEVER Landed A Single Interview

At one point, I thought some satanic “black magician” was sitting on

my luck.

It was almost certain to me that I had zero luck with picking up a better-

paying job.

I was always depressed when I saw some of my colleagues landing

high- paying jobs within the company and in other BIG Companies,

because I knew most of them weren’t smarter than me.

Every single day that passed got me more FRUSTRATED!

My Debts Kept Increasing And My Salary

Decreasing!

And that set in motion a series of struggles and events that marked the

turning point in my life and career forever!

I won’t bother you here with all the nasty details as well as the rest of

the long story that I share in the introduction of my Resumes For VIPs

book.

Long story short: I finally discovered a “formula” that I used to land

a big- time job with Diageo’s headquarters in the UK as well as

consulting jobs with other companies.

And I later on wrote a book about the formula entitled The Job-

getting Formula™ For The Experienced Worker, available on

Amazon.com.

And for the past five years, inspired by those series of events, I have

dedicated my life to finding, testing, tweaking, and proving solutions

that could help anyone land the kind of high-paying job they want.

And at one point, while searching for job-getting solutions,

I Discovered “Direct Response

Advertising” And A Group Of

Experts On The Subject:

I Refer To Them As The

“Masters Of Influence”

million- dollar fortunes by simply crafting

compelling advertising, marketing, and sales

messages that help large and small companies

Carlton, Ted Nicholas, Gary Halbert, Christian

Godefroy, just to name a few.

And guess what?

I Have Ethically Stolen Their Secrets To

Create An Amazing “New Breed” Of

attention-grabbing, and interview-getting than the traditional resume,

to the point that I decided to name it:

one of his teachers, Dan

Kennedy.
