New Grads: Avoid the Fatal Resume Mistake



“What are the secrets of a winning job hunt? Few experts offer advice as intriguing – or usable – about that quest as Arlene Barro, president and CEO of L.A.-based barro global search, inc…” –UCLA Magazine






“If you don’t understand THAT YOU HAVE A BRAND AND WHAT YOUR BRAND IS, you can’t sell it. Job seekers rarely realize that a ‘brandless’ resume can result in no interviews and ‘brandless’ interviews in never receiving offers. Right Fit Branding is the solution!” – Dr. Arlene Barro

Jobseekers frequently assume that sending out professionally prepared resumes is the key to capturing interviews. If that were true, then most jobseekers would be actively interviewing. But, they are not. Why? Resumes must have a distinct, intriguing, and recognizable brand so that the jobseekers stand out in their field. If that brand is missing, employers cannot quickly identify whom to interview. Consequently, brandless resumes are eliminated and the candidates do not understand why.

No interviews? No job offers? Wrong job offers? Whether you’re a new college graduate or a highly successful executive, you need branding to capture the Right Fit job.

Dr. Arlene, Branding & Hiring Expert, has the perfect solution—a distinct, recognizable, and intriguing brand. Employers must grasp your brand in a flash. Your brand has two sides like a coin: the written script (resume) and the verbal broadcast (interview). And you must know how to brand both sides. The key is creating the Right Fit Brand first and using that in the resume and at the interview.

Avoid the fatal resume mistake! For new grads, branding is especially important. They usually have limited work experience and accomplishments. Before jumping into the job market circus, they should evaluate the power of their brand. To do that, use Dr. Arlene’s app – iBrandU4Hire: Rate Your Brand Zero to Hire. No iDevice? Click here for the solution. Use the app to learn how to craft and communicate the Right Fit Brand to capture the Right Fit job.

Jobseekers, say this mantra to yourself:
My Right Fit Brand is the key to persuading the employer to hire me.

Leaders: Contemplating Leaving Your Job? (Without Another?!)


I find it remarkable how many leaders leave their positions without having a place to go. Suddenly unemployed, they contact my company, barro global search, inc. to seek my council as a branding & hiring expert and search consultant. I speak with leaders from a wide array of sectors. After listening to their stories, I frequently conclude that these leaders did not set the stage to make themselves indispensable. We make the erroneous assumption that almost everyone is disposable. Not necessarily so.

Leaders must create a distinct, intriguing, and recognizable brand to express their value to an organization. Selling that brand consistently is the key to longevity with the same employer, as long as the leader’s results are noteworthy.

Strive for the flawless fit. Selecting the Right Fit position is crucial. Prior to accepting a position, carefully evaluate the fit to determine whether it is flawless. Not the Right Fit? Then turn down the Wrong Fit position. If you accept it, an early departure could be imminent.

What if your flawless fit suddenly turns sour? Most of the time, red flags appear. Watch for those signs when you assume your new position. Act immediately. Do not ignore them. They will not go away. It is highly likely that they will multiply.

If, for example, you have relationship issues, figure out what you need to do to resolve them. To succeed, you may need to implement clever strategies.

Getting ready to start a new leadership position? Now is the time to create a plan to demonstrate the impact of your brand by the end of year one. During your first quarter, turn this plan into a five-year plan. Be sure to incorporate your strategies for communicating the results that were achieved under your direction. Carefully observe the response to your communications. Watch for the naysayers and manage them. Persuade with humor. Use laughter to build camaraderie and adjust the cultural fit.


To inspire you to recognize the importance of your brand and whether its effective in your job search, Dr. Arlene developed the app iBrandU4Hire: Rate Your Brand Zero to Hire.

To discuss your job and career challenges, arrange a telephone appointment to speak with Dr. Arlene by calling 310-443-4277.

Brand yourself for career success!
