A Great Resume Will Help You Get A Great Job
When you are
looking for a job, having a great resume to show potential
employers is critical. Your resume is often the first
impression a company will get of you, and a bad resume can spoil
your chances of getting the job you want. Your resume should
have a simple layout, summarize your experience in reverse
chronological order, and include dates. The most effective
resume will emphasize your ACCOMPLISHMENTS, not just your
responsibilities in your past jobs. Make sure you show what you
have done by outlining the processes, outcomes and results
specific to you. Include information about the ways in which
you were most successful and made an impact in each of your past
jobs.
Only include
personal information if it is relevant or interesting. For
example: mentioning you enjoy singing karaoke and reading will
not make you a more attractive candidate; mentioning you can
speak three languages or have won an award demonstrates your
skills and may give you and the person interviewing you more to
talk about. And last but not least, make sure your resume
has no grammar or spelling mistakes. The smartest thing to
do is ask a friend to proofread it before you send it.
