RESUME WRITING
TIPS AND ABOUT MORE)-
Resume writing, however, is not some skill that is easily
mastered. Crafting a professional resume becomes even more challenging when you
are new to the job market or when you are changing careers because you often
won't have the specific skills pertinent to the job.
RESUME WRITING TIPS)-
Below are the tips to build a quality Curriculum Vitae:
- Use a Good A-4 Size paper.
- Use same Paper for Cover Letter also.
- Do not Fold your Resume sheets.
- Use the same Size Envelope, prefer White colored Envelope.
- Use Simple font of size 12 Points.
- Do not use more than two font styles in your Resume.
- Do not use any Symbol or Logo on the top of your Resume.
- You might think it looks attractive but it does not look professional
that way.
- A Resume typically should be restricted to a page without any irrelevant
details.
- Make sure you personalize your objective for each Organization, e.g. AIR
HOSTESS WITH SINGAPORE AIRLINES, MARKETING EXECUTIVE WITH IBM CORP, etc.
- A Cover letter should be personalized to specific Organization,
you wish to apply for.
- Do not list References, write instead that they are available on
request.
- List the References only if specifically asked.
- Look for the Employer's needs.
- Portray Yourself as a Solution to their needs in your resume. Write Your
Professional Qualifications and Knowledge first as this section tells the
Employer about your Job skills.
- Then List your Academic Qualifications in chronological order,
starting with recent Qualification to Previous ones. You may write your
Qualification in order of Relevance, if Your Educational Background is not
directly related to Your Job Skills.
- Write Your Experience in terms of Quantity if possible. Mention
time Period of Work, How well you performed, Achievements in your performance.
- Use P-A-R Technique for stating your Experience. Mention
Problem-Action-Result in your previous Employment. What were your
responsibilities, How You executed your Responsibilities and What Results You
Achieved. This Really impresses the Employer !
- Get You Resume Reviewed by a Friend. This will help you to get feedback
on the language and content of your Resume.
- Check for the Spelling Errors, Grammatical Mistakes, Punctuation
Problems, etc.
So, how do you proceed on writing a winning resume?
For someone who is a new graduate, it is always
hard to decide what to put on your resume as you may not have the professional
experience relevant to the role. But don't let this hinder you. Instead, focus
your resume on the skills you acquired and your education. Prepare an impressive
resume objective then follow it by listing your educational attainment. If you
garnered awards and honors while in school, mention it in your resume. Your
resume must also include courses or trainings you undertook that could apply to
the role. Rather than listing professional experiences, you can name it
"Pre-Professional Experience" and proceed to write competencies which support
your resume objective. If you performed some summer jobs, don't simply list the
jobs you did. Rather, you can make use of specific competencies learned like
"Customer Relations" then proceed to enumerate tasks you performed supporting
this. Don't forget any volunteering and community work you performed or certain
positions you've held in school.
If you are someone who is looking for a career
change, and it seems that the next career you are trying to pursue is quite
different, focus your resume on qualifications that could apply to various
roles. A good example is if you have experience in managing people. Point this
out in your resume as this reflects your leadership skills as well as the
ability to relate to different people. Start your resume with a clearly defined
resume objective then follow it up with a professional profile or summary which
addresses the decision to change careers by stressing competencies that relate
to your resume objective and chosen career. You may also include any
volunteering and community work you were involved in as long as it is pertinent
to the new role you are seeking.
While resume writing can be difficult especially
if you feel that you don't possess the required skills, don't let this
discourage you. By following the tips above, you may well find out that you have
certain skills suited to the role. Think positive and focus on what you can
offer and you will have a resume that will get you the job.
