This Book is dedicated to the person who first taught me the power
of faith in driving the impossible.

almost insurmountable obstacles she went through, and in the process
she taught me, as a role model, what I interpreted as, GO the extra mile
and FETCH what you want!
Mommy ELIZABETH AYUK, May Your SOUL REST In
ETERNAL PEACE and HAPPINESS!

Introduction
Let Me Lead You To A Place Youve Probably
NEVER Been Before
Dont think about this as a book. Think about this as a set of GOLD
KEYS that, for once and for all, allows you to get passed the chaos in the
busy streets of resume-writing mumbo jumbo where every Jack and Jill
is scrambling to get your attention, telling you about the latest tricks and
gimmicks to pull on your resume; and enter the quiet, boardroom
meeting chambers of masters of influence where you could
eavesdrop into secret conversations about human psychology that
explains the real reasons why (and how) people are influenced.
In the pages ahead, Ill be talking about the 4 Gold Keys of
influential interview-getting communication and how they are used to
write VIP-reserved interview-getting resumes that get interviews like
crazy. I will be showing you examples, taking parts of the resumes of
some of my past clients to show and tell you the persuasive writing
secrets embedded in them that literally connects with the deepest
emotions of hiring managers and recruiters and forces them to call you
for interviews.
At this point you might be asking:

Introduction
The New Breakthrough VIP-Reserved Resume That Gets Interviews Over and Over Again
Nothing happened!
For several years, I had been avoiding the question of looking for
another high-paying job elsewhere. I simply never wanted to repeat the
same struggle I went through before getting my first job, after leaving
university.
I wanted to grow within the company I was working for. So, I
figured out that for me to become more valuable to my boss, my
employer, and my industry, I would need to do some sort of Certification
or MBA, which would enable me stand out from the huge crowd of job
seekers. So I enrolled into the SPSM (Senior Professional in Supply
Management) Certification, one of the worlds leading online
certifications in Purchasing and Supply Management.
I kept improving my work with the ideas I got from my certification
course, while keeping my fingers crossed, hoping one day things would
change and I would get a promotion.
But to my exasperation, I found that my boss was rather playing
company politics with my desire for a promotion to get me to work
even harder for her selfish benefits.
So, I immediately activated my Plan B, and started looking for
another higher paying job.
Before then, all along I was told, finding a job while working is
fairly easy.
But I was terribly surprised when, from dozens of rsums and
cover letters I sent out for job openings you wont believe it I was
NEVER called, not even for a single interview.
I suspected there was a problem with my rsum and cover letter.
So I bought all the books and courses I could lay my hands on that
carried advice on how to write attention-grabbing rsums and cover
letters and on how to ace job interviews.
In the next bunch of rsums and cover letters I sent out, I included
all the techniques I learned from my rsum writing books and courses.

working but youre not seeing where the money is going. What was
coming in was far less than what was going out.
The only way for me to continue living after paying all my bills was
to get into further debt.
I was afraid of the way things were going. And I said to myself, If I
continue living like this, I may never get out of debt, and I may never
live the life I have always dreamed of like riding in a bigger luxurious
car, owning a personal home of my choice, sending my kids to college
and preparing them a brighter future, and all other good things that come
with a good life.
And you know when youre working, people expect a lot from
you financially, especially in family and social circles. Nothing is more
humiliating than when you cant improve or maintain your financial
status among friends and family, or keep to your financial obligations
and promises with creditors.
As crazy as it might sound, I was asking myself, How can I have a
way of connecting directly with a serious hiring manager who is just
looking for a serious worker like myself and who can just give me a call,
saying, Come and start working with me tomorrow.
I just wanted a way a formula, to get another high-paying job
and get out of my financial mess compounded by the pesky treatment I
was receiving from my boss.
By this time, all the job hunting books and programs I had tried
seemed to be lacking some vital ingredients to make them work. They
just didnt feel right. So I had to look for a better way out. And for those
who know me, I hardly give up on anything I set my mind on.
So I vowed:
Introduction
to really see whether I could be of any advice with the fresh knowledge I
had acquired from my certification. In the back of my mind, I knew this
was a strategy to create some networking so that I would be informed
earlier enough of any job opportunities before they ever reached the
public announcement stage.
While I was going through that process, a vacancy was opened in
Diageo-Guinness, United Kingdom, the headquarters of the same multinational company I was working for. It was the position of Purchasing
Category Manager which reported to the Head of Purchasing for Africa
my boss functional boss, whom for privacy reasons Ill simply refer
to as Andy. Luckily, I had developed a good relationship with Andy as
well as other people from the UK team, from when we all first met in a
workshop in Ghana.
So, I contacted one of the UK guys to figure out what was really
required for the position. I didnt want to go by the job description alone,
as that had always been the case with my past failures.
Due to my longtime interest in becoming a consultant one day, I had
also once read from a book on marketing and selling consulting
services that finding the underlying problems of a client is crucial for
success in getting hired as a consultant. But as an employee, I had never
considered applying that principle to my job search.
Following that principle, and with the information I got about what
was really required of the position, I mustered courage and applied for
the position.
To my awesome amazement, I received an email from Andy that he
would be calling me for an interview the following Wednesday at 2 pm.
The New Breakthrough VIP-Reserved Resume That Gets Interviews Over and Over Again
could not work because she had an excruciating neck pain, and she went
back home.
At 2 pm I went into the meeting room and my phone rang. It was
Andy and he interviewed me at length. Then he told me hed get back to
me a couple of weeks later.
Three weeks later, my boss called me into the meeting room and
told me that Andy requested that she ask me if Id like to move to the UK
for a 3 to 6 months probationary period to see if I could occupy the
Regional Purchasing Category Manager position.
I happily accepted. My mind was swimming with joy while I
listened to and watched her speak. She was struggling to hold a smile on
her face, as if she was happy for me. In my mind, I was saying to her, I
got youyouve seen nothing from me yet this is just the beginning.
And I felt a deep satisfying feeling of revenge. Who said, Success is the
best revenge? Nothing could be truer.
Its worth noting that this was a position requiring someone with
eight years of experience in a similar or closely related role and promised
to pay more than twice my salary plus great benefits. But I had less than
six years working experience. And it was yet a combined experience as
opposed to purchasing experience only. Thats when it dawned on me,
for the first time, that:
Introduction
and home study courses from the worlds greatest teachers like John
Assaraf, Jack Canfield, Brian Tracy, Mark Victor Hansen, Les Brown,
Jim Rohn, Zig Zigglar, Tony Robbins, Robert Kiyosaki and a few others.
As I was studying these things, all of a sudden my belief about
myself changed and a new world of awareness opened up to me. My selfconfidence increased dramatically and I quickly realized that my jobgetting techniques were so powerful that I could use them at any time to
get whatever high-paying job I wanted. The only thing for me to figure
out before writing my rsum and cover letter was

Introduction
As you might have guessed, even the bar business that I created and
named Futuris came crashing down as well. Futuris never saw the
future!
So, it got to a point where I was supposed to look for another
permanent job alongside my consulting business, in order to take care
of some fixed monthly bills and to pay my accrued debts.
For me it was rather simple. I followed the same information-getting
process as before to figure out exactly what problem the hiring manager
really wanted to solve. But this time, from my additional experience as a
consultant, I sent out a few interview-getting rsums and cover letters to
well-targeted, unadvertised positions.

The first part will walk you through the 4 Gold Keys of influential
interview-getting communication.
This first part will also teach you about Fascination Formulas and
how to use them on your resume to grab and keep a hiring managers or
recruiters attention.
The second part will show you how to use what youve learned in
part one to create your first VIP-reserved interview-getting resume.
Now, let me start with the 4 gold keys

The New Breakthrough VIP-Reserved Resume That Gets Interviews Over and Over Again
Of course, if they know you, like you, and trust you and your
expertise either as a friend, family member, friends family member,
friends friend, friends best-friend, or friends best-friends best-friend,
then its easier to qualify for a guest and even get a seat at the jobs hightable.
But if youre not part of the man-knows-man, who-knows-you,
or who-you-know categories mentioned above, then securing a ticket
to the interviews would require you to communicate in a way that creates
instant trust and makes you fascinating and likeable by the recruiter or
hiring manager.
For someone to like and trust you and find you competent just from
your words, youll need to speak their likes and interests, as well as
prove that youre the type of person theyre looking for.
Youll need to step into their minds and see things from their
perspective. Youll need to speak their language intellectually and
emotionally!
Sure, this is a tough job to do. But it can be done. And it can be
done quite easily if youre clearly taught step-by-step-by-step how to do
it.
And thats what Im about to introduce you to.
54
Gold Key #1
Colliers Principle
One of Colliers principles that has stood the test of time the
ultimate test, and that has been followed by every legendary writer or
copywriter up to date from old school John Caples, Claude Hopkins,
Victor Schwab, Eugene Shwartz to new school Gary Halbert, Christian
Godefroy, John Carlton, Ted Nicholas and Dan Kennedy is this:
Always enter the conversation already taking place in the prospects
mind.
Collier wrote, No matter what product or service youre writing
about, first put yourself in the place of your prospective customer. Think
of every property you could possibly desire in such a product or service.
Think of everything you would like to have it do for you. Work out the
ultimate detail, then write a message that stresses every desirable point.
So to paraphrase that: I would say, as a prospective candidate for a
high-paying job, if and when you are writing about yourself in a rsum
55
The New Breakthrough VIP-Reserved Resume That Gets Interviews Over and Over Again
56
Gold Key #1
But the problem with traditional resumes is that they are really
pieces of paper with some writings on them. Thats really what they boil
down to.
Now I understand that might be too harsh, but I want to make the
point as strongly as I possibly can.
What I am really trying to get at is the fact that, most resumes dont
even get close to simulating a physical person-to-person contact or
conversationyou know they are far from the good ol love letter from
a boyfriend to a girlfriend.
The two are different: one is a tidal wave of emotions or personal
feelings expressed in writing and the other is just flat-boring inert matter
paper!
Of course I am not suggesting you write a love letter to a hiring
manager. That would be insane, you know. But who knows? (Maybe you
can have some fun with that!)
Anyway, heres the point:
Be A Door-To-Door Salesperson
So lets say you were shown a hiring managers office, and lets
assume hes never met you before.
But you have as ultimate mission to go there, knock at the door,
interrupt him while he is seriously thinking about how to solve a pressing
business problem, have him open the door, and what will you say to him,
as the first and ONLY phrase that will enable him let you in to tell your
full story and why he should hire you?
Would you say Curriculum Vitae?
Would you say Resume?
Would you say Marilyn Johnsons CV?
Would you say John Doe, PhD, MBA?
57
The New Breakthrough VIP-Reserved Resume That Gets Interviews Over and Over Again
Or
Or
As you can see, these second group of statements could easily take
you from unwanted pest to VIP-invited guest in a split second. And
thats because, they all enter a possible conversation already taking place
in the hiring managers mind.
The truth is:

Emelindas Story
Emelinda was referred to me by her mom. Her mom was very happy
with the way I coached and guided her to landing her first full-time
hospital job as a new grad nurse.
I know you might be saying, but thats no big deal, there are plenty
of jobs out there for nurses, right? Well you are partly right and partly
wrong.
In the US where I currently reside, there are nursing jobs in nursing
homes and home healthcare but not in hospitals.
And it is especially hard for a new grad nurse to pick up a hospital
job, right straight from school. If you doubt what I am saying, ask a new
grad nurse.
Anyway
I had coached her mom from start to finish: helped her revamp her
resume, prepared her for interviews and behold, the very first interview
she got, she nailed it and was offered the job.
But Emelindas own case was different. Shes a nurse with about 8
years of experience. So it is pretty easy for her to send her old me-too,
mediocre resume and wait with certainty that even if it takes 3 months,
shell will still end up with something, right?
60
Gold Key #1
As you can see, her old me-too, mediocre resume will, in most
cases, get a so what, who cares response, especially if it is in a pile of
similar resumes and heres why.

Emelinda Kiven
385 Roma Vista Way #318
San Jose, CA 95136
408-466-6107
Since people naturally read from top to bottom and from left to
right, they will most likely read the part that starts with Emelinda
Kiven, before reading the part that starts with Objective:
The hard-to-notice flaw here is that her objective statement,
although somewhat positive, still sounds clich something that has
become overly familiar or commonplace.
It doesnt sound or feel like its coming from the heart or unique to
the candidate. And because of that, it is not believable. So, the response
of the hiring manager will probably be something like, Ive heard that
before, try something else.
After working with Emelinda,
62
Gold Key #1
With this new 7-page VIP-reserved resume, Emelinda was called for
an interview in less than 7 days after applying. And that was the very
first job opening she applied for. In her own words, as you may have
seen at the start of this book, she said:
I have to admit, in all my career, this is the quickest I have ever
been contacted for interviews. It truly is a result-producing resume
formula.
Now lets break it down and see what makes the difference between
the before and after resumes.
63
The New Breakthrough VIP-Reserved Resume That Gets Interviews Over and Over Again
Now, that doesnt sound clich at all. And by the way, thats a true
story. She has the letter and she can prove it, even in an interview!
In fact, a scanned copy of that letter is printed on the last page of her
VIP-resume for additional proof.
And just so you know, no single word in those paragraphs could be
left unread. The reason is simple: all the words tell the full story and
people like stories as youll see in the next gold key.
So in other words, if she was allowed to say only one phrase that
would enable the hiring manager standing at the door to let her into
his office for her to tell her full story and explain why she should be
hired over any other competing candidate, thats what shell say.
Thats what shell say before even saying her name. Thats what
makes her unique and valuable. And thats why her name is the last thing
to the right remember people read from top to bottom and from left to
right.
Of course, as a serious student of advertising and copywriting

But, lets face the facts here. I know you may be saying,
Gold Key #1
67
The New Breakthrough VIP-Reserved Resume That Gets Interviews Over and Over Again
68
Gold Key #1
As you can tell, this headline is very magnetic and powerful. And
there are many reasons for that.
Reason #1 it has high news-value or story-value. In other words,
it sounds like news or a story one must pay attention to. It contains highvalue words (aka attention-getting or power words) like: Olympics,
London Stock Exchange, 50 years and Barack Obama in the pre-headline
that sets the stage for the headline itself. Very powerful!
Reason #2 it enters the conversation already taking place in a
hiring managers mind. This conversation is about review and
development of standard operating procedures. This is one of the
most important aspects of productivity and performance in every
organization and hence an important topic of interest to a hiring manager.
Reason #3 it differentiates the candidate from the rest of the pack.
As we shall see in Gold Key #3, people like something that is new,
unusual and different.
As you can see from Alains testimonials and forwarded emails to
me at the beginning of this book, he has had more than 3 interviews
69
The New Breakthrough VIP-Reserved Resume That Gets Interviews Over and Over Again
within a period of two months since he started sending out this new VIPreserved resume to a handful of companies.
There are even two additional testimonial emails I received from
Alain that I didnt include in the beginning of this book. The reason is
because the emails were written in French by the employers since
Cameroon is a bilingual French-English Country and this book is
targeted to an English-speaking audience.
And by the way, if youre among those who complain or think that
no one will read a resume thats more than 3 to 4 pages long, think again.
Because Alains resume is 8-pages long!
So, as you can see, the new VIP-reserved resume is really a unique
kind of interview-getting weapon.
If you compare the headline or top-section of Alains new VIPreserved resume to the top-section of his old resume, youll see that its
like day and night. Take a look at his old resumes top section.

The same reasons apply when writing VIP-reserved interviewgetting rsums and cover letters.
Fascinating Statements
Next to stories, in terms of attention-getting and attention-keeping
power, is whats known as fascinations or fascinating statements. These
are statements that create curiosity in the audiences mind while at the
same time address something of benefit or value to the audience.
For example, the statement: 3 most dangerous mistakes most job
seekers make, is a fascinating statement. It creates curiosity while
addressing something of value or benefit to job seekers.
