It takes 14 seconds
for an employer to read 1/3 of your first page. Then s/he
decides yes/no whether to continue. That's how much time
you get to catch the employer's attention

The employer will read your resume for 14
seconds and at that point will decide to
continue reading or throw it away. If she
or he goes past the 14th second, and the
material continues to be interesting, the
employer will read a 100-page biography.
If s/he decides "No" at the 14th second, the
employer will not bother even to read to the end
of the first page! It is not about length.
It is
about quality and readability, and value to the
employer. We will show you how to achieve
success.
95% of available jobs are
hidden – not advertised anywhere. Typical
resumes are designed to reply to web or
newspaper ads and
public postings – only 5% of
available jobs. 95% of jobs are hidden so 95% of
job junters hunters have the wrong resume! No wonder they are
unsuccessful! No wonder they are not rich and
happy! We write the best resume!!!!!
Here is a free sample.
If you get your reader to go beyond the 14th second,
s/he will stay with you for many pages!
The key in resume presentation is the look and the
feel of the first page. Encourage the reader to go further than 14
seconds. This is done with color, feel of the paper, graphic
layout, pictures. The 4Minutes CV resume has a
unique format that has been copied and adapted by thousands of
professionals in the past 30 years. It is designed to be an easy-to-read
list thus avoiding dragging readers into writing style. It uses two to
three colors. Each colour has a 40% additional 'pick up' chance . It
uses photos to announce who your are. It uses high quality materials to
communicate your sense of value - when the target person holds the
CV-Resume.
