15 SECONDS OF FAME – How to write a resume that gets read and generates interviews
Andy Warhol once said that everyone has 15 minutes of fame.  But statistics show that the best of resumes only get read for 15 seconds.  How do you convey who you are and what you do in 15 seconds or less?  How do you convince that reader to interview you instead of the next CV on the pile?  This powerful presentation will show you how to format your resume to draw the readers eye in instead of repel it, how to present not only what you do but what you’ve accomplished in such a way that tells a compelling story…one that compels the reader to pick up that phone and schedule an interview…with you!

“I was fortunate to receive a consultation with Kim Smith to get clarity on my future employment and life direction. Kim is so confident, funny and warm that she easily drew my real intentions for wanting a change out of me. She took me through a series of exercises to allow me to figure out what I really wanted as my outcomes in life (including work, family, romance, finances, creativity, health, spirituality). Through that, I was able to propose some options of how I could achieve my goals and then brainstorm these options.

Kim also gave me tools to manage my brain and get to the heart of how I want to live. It is difficult in life to cut through all the stuff that is not really that important. Kim helped me see what it is that is truly important to me and how to focus on that and let everything else that wastes energy and time fall away. I use these tools in my everyday life and they have helped me tremendously. Kim’s warm, energetic and creative spirit created a sense of immediate trust and “fun”. Thanks so much, Kim, for this gift that I will use forever!”

“I recently had a career planning session with Kim Smith. She was able to help me gain insights into what my strengths are and how to combine those strengths with my passions to create a career opportunity that is incredibly exciting! I’m just getting started on my new career search, but I feel that I have the tools to put together a great resume, cover letter, and ideas on where to look for that perfect position. Kim helped to get organized so that I have a 5-year plan and I know what each step looks like, and what is needed to accomplish my goals at each step. Thanks Kim!”

“Kim has worked with us on some very high level conferences in New Zealand, and was an absolute pleasure to work with in all aspects. Her firm at the time was a leading sponsor of our events, and Kim drove this relationship very successfully. She was engaged as a speaker at our premier event in the finance/accounting space, and we acknowledge the energy and content she bought to the sessions. Her presentations were very well received by our very critical audiences, and we were often asked for her details for personal follow-ups. Kim gave excellent and detailed sessions, with useful and relevant material that attendees could take away and implement immediately, and assist their own careers in a very real way. Her knowledge and experience in the recruitment space cannot be over-stated, and we would not hesitate to recommend her.”

“I worked with Kim both in terms of recruitment needs for my Finance team and for my personal career development. Kim is the utmost professional. She is fantastic for staying in touch and ensuring the recruitment process runs smoothly. I never had the issue of inappropriate candidates being put forward for any of my roles, as she took her time to make sure she understood the company, the job spec and the required ‘fit’. On a personal level, I used Kim as a sounding board on a number of occasions when considering new positions or career paths. Kim always showed complete integrity, never attempting to push a particular option in order to get a ‘sell’. Highly Recommended – and missed in NZ!” January 12, 2009
