Resume Writing Tips
Make your resume positive and completely error-free. The
following are some tips about how to present your
resume:
Resume Length
Keep the resume
short. However, in the case of technical people, IT for
example, resumes can extend to three pages in order to
incorporate relevant technical information. Listing only
your most relevant and essential jobs will help shorten
your resume. Your achievements for each employer also
should be concise. Summarize your previous employment
experiences to reduce length if necessary.
Format
Give more importance on
content than on looks. If the document lacks eye appeal,
few people will review it. Use white paper, and make the
thoughts flow smoothly. Producing a document that is
well presented, detailed and targeted will attract the
attention of your hiring manager.
Drawing
Attention
Write four or five sentences
that give an overview of your qualifications. This
profile or qualifications summary should be placed at
the beginning of your resume. You can include some of
your personal traits or special skills that might have
been difficult to get across in your job descriptions.
This can become your objective statement that will give
your reader a general idea of your area or areas of
expertise. This profile section must be relevant to the
type of job for which you're applying. Now move on to
list your educational and professional qualifications,
clearly identifying your skills.
Font
Another common mistake is to change font regularly
throughout the resume. This is distracting and
confusing. Also, avoid using fancy fonts. They are not
inviting to read, and many people discard resumes that
use them. Don't use underlining or italics to add
emphasis.
