Experienced Individuals

1. Start with experience, not education
Experienced individuals should write their job experiences
first and not education in their professional resumes. Your
job experience is what makes you truly valuable. Unlike the
entry-level candidates, the experienced professionals should
list their degrees and certificates at the end of the resume.
Employers are more concerned about the job performance of
experienced professionals than their educational background.
2. Create an image that matches the salary you want
As you write your resume, keep in mind the level of job and
salary you want. Be careful to use the appropriate language
for your resume, so that it creates an impression that
presents you at the appropriate level. Prepare your resume in
such a way that either you stay at your current salary level
or move up - but never go backwards.
3. List accomplishments, not just responsibilities
Write about your achievements and accomplishments and mention
about the long-term value you can bring to the company with
your experience, professional maturity and expertise. Freshers
can just list down their job responsibilities, but experienced
professionals can not afford to do that. Avoid focusing on
responsibilities instead of achievements.
4. Proofread your resume
After you have finalized your employment documents, check them
repeatedly for errors in spelling, grammar, or punctuation.
Spelling and grammatical errors can automatically disqualify a
resume from consideration. If you make mistakes in your
employment documents, hiring managers might presume you will
be equally careless on the job - no matter how important your
qualifications and experiences are. Proofread your resume and
cover letter carefully.
5. Always attach a covering letter
A cover letter is a document that accompanies your resume
in response to an advertised position. It is a letter of
introduction that highlights your key achievements and
entitles you for a job opening. A cover letter should be
tailored to different jobs, different employers.
A cover letter reflects your communication skills and
your personality. The main purpose of this document is
to introduce you in such an interesting manner that the
reader will not only continue reading your resume but
also be willing to call you in for an interview.
A cover letter tells the employer the type of position
you are seeking, and exactly how you are qualified for
that position. It also tells the hiring manager what
caused you to apply: whether an advertisement, the
recommendation of a friend who works there, or your own
research, etc. This information tells the hiring manager
how well you know the firm and position.
This is
the first document the reader views, and if it fails to
captivate interest your resume might not be viewed at
all.
