New Unemployment Survey Reveals How Experience in Resume Examples and Cover Letters Strengthens Candidate
Norwalk, CT / ACCESSWIRE / May 29, 2014 / Amidst a six-year low unemployment rate, ResumeDownloads.net recently conducted a survey from job seekers regarding the current condition of the job market. Participants revealed how experience tops education for employers.
Latest 2014 reports from the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics point to the unemployment rate dropping to a nearly six-year low. While this is essentially positive news, the 9.8 million jobless Americans are not exactly ecstatic about it, particularly the two competing groups in the job marketplace: college graduates and long-term unemployed job seekers.
"In a competitive job market, it's important to ensure that you best represent your skills and talents to employers and having a clear, professional resume and cover letter is the first step," said the team at ResumeDownloads.net. "Our easy-to-use resume templates and examples can help highlight your strengths for better employment opportunities."
In a recent survey conducted by ResumeDownloads in April 2014, the discussion of Experience vs Education, has been getting a lot of attention. 42.86% of the recent college graduate participants revealed that they do feel the competition from experienced unemployed job seekers. Feedback also included emphasis on experience in cover letters as a reminder that the candidate will not require extensive training, unlike new graduates.
Even more so as employers, mostly driven by global economic factors, are exercising more prudence when choosing the right candidate whose productivity and skills they can count on. Regardless of job hunters being fresh college graduates or experienced employees jumping from one ship to another, strong employment candidates are required to have a solid, accurate representation of themselves.
