Now is a good time to be proactive and spice up your resume to add some oomph before the beginning of the year.

If your job search didn't produce the results you wanted this year, it's a good time to change your search strategy -- including your resume. Your resume is a fundamental component of your professional image because, in many cases, it's the only first impression you can offer to potential employers. Having a resume that has the right keywords, highlights your best attributes, reflects your current status, and reads easily is essential for getting noticed in a sea of other potential, and highly qualified candidates.

And....in case you haven't heard, the job market is on the rebound - and with a bang! Employers are filling up their vacancies at rates we haven't seen since the recession hit.

What does this mean for you, the job seeker? It means more opportunities are at your fingertips. With all of the positive movement across industries, it could also mean that your dream job is about to open up.

Is your resume up to the challenge?

More than a chronological list of your past work experience and educational background, your resume is your key to unlocking the door to a new, exciting career. It should be a bulletproof, on-paper representation of not only what you have achieved in the past, but what you can bring to the table to prospective employers.

Here are a few questions to ask yourself as you look over your all-important resume:

Does It Tell and Sell My Story Quickly?

Recent research shows that many recruiters are spending six seconds during an initial review.

"Six seconds?! Why, that's hardly enough time for them to read my name!"

You can overcome this seemingly impossible challenge by making sure your resume is clear and concise from the jump. Recruiters need to know your strengths and key achievements. And they are trained to obtain this information in mere seconds.

How Can I Stand Out?

According to leaders at CVDesigner, one of the fastest-growing national career services firms in the country, the format of your resume can make a major difference.

Professionally Written Resumes? People Do That?

The short answer? Yes! And it works.

You might be new to the concept of having someone else write your resume. But crafting a powerful resume can be a difficult, frustrating process - regardless of your work skills or writing expertise.

"I'm a good writer, but I'm just not good at writing about myself." ...

"I know my industry well, but am a bit behind on the latest software and keywords." ...

"My position was suddenly eliminated and I haven't written a resume in 15 years!" ...
