Writing A Resume
Writign a resume is easier said than done. There are many things you need to
keep in mind while writing resume like what format should you use, whow to frame
the right object to suite new job's description. You need to create a resume
that actually generates results.
What IS a resume?
Resume is a self-promotional document that presents you in the best possible
light, for the purpose of getting invited to a job interview. It's not an
official personnel document. It's not a job application. It's not a "career
obituary"! And it's not a confessional.
What should the resume content be
about?
It's not just about past jobs! It's about YOU, and how you performed and what
you accomplished in those past jobs--especially those accomplishments that are
most relevant to the work you want to do next. A good resume predicts how you
might perform in that desired future job.
Why your resume is important?
It's the first meeting between you and a prospective employer. First
impressions are lasting ones. Well, your resume is the first meeting between
you and a prospective employer more often now than ever. So, how do you want
to be remembered? Wrinkled and unorganized or Neat and structured. Long and
boring or Precise and interesting.
Main purpose of resume writing
Your resume is a tool with one specific purpose: to win an interview. A resume
is an advertisement, nothing more, nothing less. A great resume doesn't just
tell them what you have done but makes the same assertion that all good ads
do.
What resume writing isn't?
It is a mistake to think of your resume as a history of your past, as a
personal statement or as some sort of self expression.
Focus on the employer's needs and not yours
Employer is not much interested in your needs but in company's. Ask yourself,
what would make a perfect candidate for this job. What does the employer
really want and need? What special abilities would this person have? What
would set a truly exceptional candidate apart from a merely good one?
Great resumes has two sections
In the first, you make assertions about your abilities, qualities and
achievements. You write powerful, but honest, advertising copy that makes the
reader immediately perk up and realize that you are someone special.
The second section, the evidence section, is where you back up your
assertions with evidence that you actually did what you said you did. This is
where you list and describe the jobs you have held, your education, etc.
Objective of Resume Writing
Your resume should be pointed toward conveying why you are the perfect candidate
for one specific objective or job title. Good advertising is directed toward a
very specific objective..
