How to Put Your Resume at the top of Google

Marketing Your Resume

Move your resume to the top of Google with this tip. In tough economic times, getting people to notice your resume is a critical first step in getting a job. There's a lot of competition out there right now, so anything you can do to raise your profile will help you get the attention of human resource personnel. Thanks to a new Google process in returning search results called Universal Search, you can create a resume that stands out from the crowd. It worked for me, I bet it can work for you.

Instructions

1. Google has a new emphasis on what they call Universal Search. This means that they are actively seeking search return results that go beyond simple web pages. This can include items such as photos, books and PowerPoints.

2. To move your resume to the top of Google, just create your resume in PowerPoint. There's no rule that says every resume needs to be created in Microsoft Word. I created my resume in PowerPoint and it's the first Google return for my name in my city. If you add keywords to your resume, it will probably be a high return for those keywords.

3. First, create your resume in PowerPoint and save to your computer desktop. Then log on to SlideShare. This free service will allow you to upload your resume as a PowerPoint presentation. Now add your keywords to your resume PowerPoint.

4. All PowerPoints on SlideShare are searched by Google. Since Google is eagerly searching for PowerPoints as a search return, you should be a top return for at least some of your keywords. Use this leverage to establish yourself as a creditable expert in your field.
