Sonny: How do I get my resume to “stand out”?
I have read every article available on “how to get your resume noticed”. I do know all the textbook, and experts recommendations. What I am interested in is: What do YOU personally think is a great and effective way to get a resume noticed, beyond all the suggestions we see in articles, etc.? I am looking for something different or unique. What has worked for you, or any ideas you may have. Thank you so much.

Use big words
Personally? I was out of work for 3 months once and money was getting rather tight to say the least. My resume was ok and I had carefully targeted the job market but had zero response. So one day, in total desperation, I produced a 1-page resume and sent it to everyone I could think of.
A few agencies told me it was useless because ALL employers wanted a FULL resume and not my 1 page document. But I held out, and said I would gladly show them my full resume… when they invited me for an interview. Within 2 weeks I had 3 interviews lined-up and eventually took one of the jobs. Just brilliant!
