A resume must advertise you in short.<br /><br />While you might have all the requirements for a specific position, a resume is a total loss if a employer does not instantly reach the conclusion that you "have what it takes." The first barrier a resume have to accomplish is whether your resume turns up in the "plausible section" or the "decline folder" which may take less than thirty seconds.<br /><br />One of the most successful resumes are obviously focused on a certain job title and speaks to the employer's stated requirements for the job. The more one knows of the work and skills mandatory for the job to edit your resume around these notes, the more effective the resume.<br /><br />One will need information to write a good resume. Not just information about jobs you've held in the past but also information to select the most related accomplishments, skills and experience for this job. The more you are acquainted concerning the employer and the job, the more you can fit your resume to size the position.<br /><br />Some job seekers think of a resume as their life on a page but how could anyone put everything important about themselves on a single sheet of paper (or two)? To be true, resumes are a lot more specific, adding only related information regarding you for specific employers.<br /><br />Similar to a life, a resume is always growing and changing. As your career goals shift or the job market changes, as you grow personally and professionally;most likely you may have to re-write your resume or at least write new versions. Writing a resume is a lifelong attempt.<br /><br />Best Regards,<br />Jack WongAdministratorhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03923574324129152121noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5398360276426951754.post-18327037776989121452010-10-28T19:26:00.000-07:002010-10-28T19:26:00.221-07:005 Essential Elements in a ResumeWhether you are writing a resume for a job, volunteer, or school application it's a daunting task ahead of you. You've probably procrastinated this long enough confused of how you should write a resume. Although resumes vary in their purposes and template, you should always remember these few essential elements in your resume:contact information, mission/objective statement, accomplishments, education experience, and most importantly you should review your resume before submission.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Contact Information:</span><br />Whenever you are writing a resume it is important to always include correct contact information ensuring that it is valid and up to date so your potential employer may contact you. It is vital you check your resume before submitting, confirming your contact information includes your name, email, phone number and address. You should also verify that all your information is up to date. so often people forget to update their information when they have moved or changed providers especially if they are reusing a previous resume(which they shouldn't) and this often cause a lot of miscommunication between potential employers and employees that could cause them the job.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Objective Statement</span><br />Another factor to consider is your mission and objective statement. Your objective statement should be located near the top of your resume which will outline your goals and intentions. Many people keep their objective statement vague but in reality you should be precise and to the point. Employers have to review tons of resume and they are probably looking for a specific position to fill, if you make your objective statement vague there is a possibility that it may end up in the trash.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Accomplishments:</span><br />In any resume your accomplishment is a key point to include, a resume should be created to show off yourself so you should include any major events, ability or achievements, previous work accomplishment or anything that would make you stand out above all the other applicants. This should be included regardless of your age or experience. It may be hard to do so if you are just starting out or haven't done much but it's essential. Try to think of anything you have been involved in, I'm sure you can think of something. Even if you're just coming out of school there are many things you can include. I find my brain process better and is able to recall events in silence so give it a try, sit down and go through your life.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Education Experience</span><br />You should always include your education whenever you are writing a resume. This includes any courses or schooling you have taken, completed or in process of and your GPA if it's significant. You should present this in order of your most recent to the latter with your most recent schooling or course you have attended listed first. If you've yet to completed a course or graduated you should include the course you are attending and the expected date of graduation.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Reviewing your Resume:</span><br />Finally it's time to proof-read your resume, this is a vital part to the process of completing your resume. Make sure that your resume is free of typos and grammar mistakes, check through, edit, check through, edit, check through and edit again. Then when you finally think your resume is to your best ability without any mistakes check through once more and have a friend review it. It is important that you ensure there are no callas mistakes or worse painfully obvious mistakes present on your resume since this indicates a lot about you when reviewers review your application.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Targeting:</span><br />Also remember to make your resumes targeted, you shouldn't be reusing resumes for different jobs you may be able to reuse the template but you shouldn't just print out a 100 copies of one resume and hand it to 100 jobs. You should make your resume appeal to the company you are potentially working for with facts and facts alone. Also remember to include previous work experience or anything else that would draw eyes to your resume. I have to stress and remind constantly that a resume is meant to attract your potential employer and make yourself stand out from the rest.<br /><br />Now remember these tips when you are writing your resume, do some more read up and research. And don't forget to continue following our blog for more posts. And don't forget these are just some of the many elements in a resume. Be sure to include these but don't live by these alone.

To do this when you create a new document select "resume" and choose what applies to you.

This is perhaps a decisive step in the pursuit of getting a job, so it should be fool-proof. There are a number of aspects that play an important role in boosting your resume, however customizing that to a specific job is the key. Let's see what all factors contribute in creating a successful resume. </span><br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold; font-family: times new roman;">Top Five Tips from the HR managers</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family: times new roman;">The most repeated question to a HR manager is what they look for on a resume, which comes to their inbox? In 2008, many HR managers across United States have been interviewed by E-Mail to find some tips to creating a successful resume. The common answer to that cliché question is to keep the resume and covering letter customized according to the company and the Industry. </span><br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold; font-family: times new roman;">1. Customizing the Resume</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family: times new roman;">In simple words, if you are looking for a job in the manufacturing, try to avoid the credentials of IT industry and vice versa. The common practice that we could see across the globe is creating one generic resume for the jobs across all the industries. This is fatal, when it comes to boosting your resume. Customize the resume as per your requirements.</span><br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold; font-family: times new roman;">2. Focus on Resume Objective</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family: times new roman;">These are the commons things, which the candidate should give emphasis on. </span><br /><br /><span style="font-family: times new roman;"> * Give emphasis on background and skill</span><br /><span style="font-family: times new roman;"> * Do not clutter the resume with 'too much' information</span><br /><span style="font-family: times new roman;"> * Keep it short</span><br /><span style="font-family: times new roman;"> * Be clear of the Job description and use resume writing tips to alter the resume accordingly.</span><br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold; font-family: times new roman;">3. Small Changes Can Make Big Difference</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family: times new roman;">Let's take an example of a job opening for a copy writer for a text book publishing company. As the primary step, the job seeker should thoroughly go through the company's website and learn more about their way of doing business, products and more importantly about the job profile. The next step, which the job seeker should do, is to create a resume that emphasis on his/her accomplishments, skills sets and experience pertaining to the job profile. The resume should always be send along with a customized and well written Cover letter. While writing a resume one must encompass all the excitement and enthusiasm of the self, so as to entice the employer when they flip through it.</span><br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold; font-family: times new roman;">4. Give Emphasis on Your Accomplishments</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family: times new roman;">If you are applying for the post of a Sales Professional, nothing else matters than the number of sales you have closed in your previous job. As sales rely more on numbers, it is important to have a good sales record to present in your resume. Show all your achievements on your résumé, even if you think some might not hold any value. In some case you will make the cut if you have won accolades for some thing like 'good presentation' and you are applying for a position which needs to have good presentation skills.</span><br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold; font-family: times new roman;">5. Inject Some Vigor in Your Writing</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family: times new roman;">Routine resumes can take you nowhere. To add certain vigor to your Curriculum Vitae you can take the help of some resume software or even a professional resume writer for creating a successful resume.</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family: times new roman;">Finally, the main focus should be on making your resume outstanding so as to make others believe in your capabilities.</span></span>Administratorhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03923574324129152121noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5398360276426951754.post-88573050520373259402010-08-29T19:24:00.000-07:002010-08-29T19:24:00.706-07:00The Three C’s of creating a resume<p style="font-family: times new roman;" align="justify"><span style="font-size: 100%;">Irrespective of the job that you are looking for, you need to follow the three principles or three C’s of resume writing to get a good feedback. The three C’s refer to Clarity, Coherence and Confidence – the main ingredients of a great resume.</span><span style="font-size: 100%;"><br /></span></p> <p style="font-family: times new roman;" align="justify"><span style="font-size: 100%;"><b>Clarity</b></span><span style="font-size: 100%;"><br /></span></p> <p style="font-family: times new roman;" align="justify"><span style="font-size: 100%;">Having clarity of all the aspects to be contained in a resume is very important. You must have a well stated and obvious objective. Also, you must include all the necessary information pertaining to your educational background and employment history. Everything that is required for the job should be visible. If you can present an easily readable resume, you stand greater chances of being considered for the position.</span><span style="font-size: 100%;"><br /></span></p> <p style="font-family: times new roman;" align="justify"><span style="font-size: 100%;"><b>Coherence</b></span><span style="font-size: 100%;"><br /></span></p> <p style="font-family: times new roman;" align="justify"><span style="font-size: 100%;">You always write a resume with a purpose. Therefore, you must provide all the relevant information to get noticed. For instance, if you are now applying for the post of an executive, you need not mention what you’ve done in your college days or when you were struggling. Maintain coherence. Giving irrelevant information would bore the readers and they might not even notice what you’ve mentioned in the later part of your resume. Be professional and highlight your objective.</span><span style="font-size: 100%;"><br /></span></p> <p style="font-family: times new roman;" align="justify"><span style="font-size: 100%;"><b>Confidence</b></span><span style="font-size: 100%;"><br /></span></p> <p style="font-family: times new roman;" align="justify"><span style="font-size: 100%;">Your resume should reveal confidence. Employers prefer those candidates, who are confident about their skills and abilities, and therefore it is extremely important to utilize the correct words and phrases to demonstrate your level of confidence in writing your resume. Nonetheless, you must be clear about the subtle difference between confidence and overconfidence. Confidence seems good but overconfidence is taken as arrogance. Avoid being excessively foregoing in explaining your capabilities and proficiency. Sentences that begin with “I am confident…” or “I am capable…” sounds better than something like “I am the only one…” These fine lines must be taken into account while applying for a job.</span><span style="font-size: 100%;"><br /></span></p> <p style="font-family: times new roman;" align="justify"><span style="font-size: 100%;">In a nutshell, you ought to be clear, coherent as well as confident in your approach, but within your limits. Your resume should be professional and very well written to match the expectation of the position that you wish to see yourself in. </span></p>Administratorhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03923574324129152121noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5398360276426951754.post-47374886308689347032010-07-29T19:23:00.000-07:002010-07-29T19:23:00.195-07:00Electronically Submitting Your Resume<p align="justify"><span style="font-family: DejaVu Sans Condensed; font-size: 100%;">In order for those large job sites like <a href="http://monster.com/" target="_blank">monster.com</a> and <a href="http://hotjobs.com/" target="_blank">hotjobs.com</a> to work in your favor, you are going to have to submit a personal profile and a copy of your resume. If the website that you are using to find a job doesn't have a ‘fill in the blank’ template for your resume, you should be able to upload your resume as a Microsoft Word document.</span><br /></p> <p align="justify"><span style="font-family: DejaVu Sans Condensed; font-size: 100%;">In addition to having to figure out how to upload your resume to a job hunting website, you should also learn how to email a copy of your resume. It is not at all unusual for an employer to ask for another copy of your resume (they want to see if anything has changed since you first uploaded your original resume).</span><br /></p> <p align="justify"><span style="font-family: DejaVu Sans Condensed; font-size: 100%;"><b>Follow the Directions</b></span><br /></p> <p align="justify"><span style="font-family: DejaVu Sans Condensed; font-size: 100%;">Don't zone out when a potential employer asks you to email a copy of your resume. Different employers have different ways in which they want your resume to be emailed. The most common methods for sending a resume are attached to the email, or as the body of the email. Make sure that you listen very carefully when they tell you how they want the resume sent. If they don't give you any specific instructions, you should ask. A perspective employer would rather have you ask questions when you don't understand something as opposed to you sending something incorrectly.</span><br /></p> <p align="justify"><span style="font-family: DejaVu Sans Condensed; font-size: 100%;">You should also make sure that you know exactly who you are supposed to send your resume to. Some employer's will have you email directly to them while others will have want you to send it to someone else. Not following these simple instructions can cost you the job.</span><br /></p> <p align="justify"><span style="font-family: DejaVu Sans Condensed; font-size: 100%;"><b>Proof Before You Hit Send</b></span><br /></p> <p align="justify"><span style="font-family: DejaVu Sans Condensed; font-size: 100%;">Before you attach the resume to your email, you should spend a few minutes looking it over. Not only do you want to make sure that all of the information is correct, but you want to make sure that it is free of typos and other mistakes. </span><br /></p> <p align="justify"><span style="font-family: DejaVu Sans Condensed; font-size: 100%;">After attaching your resume and before you hit the send button, take a few minutes that you are sending your resume exactly the way you were instructed and that you have entered the correct address for the recipient. </span><br /></p> <p align="justify"><span style="font-family: DejaVu Sans Condensed; font-size: 100%;"><b>Be Professional</b></span><br /></p> <span style="font-family: DejaVu Sans Condensed; font-size: 100%;">Due to the fact that you aren't dealing with any people face to face, there may be a tendency to forget that a lot hinges on your professionalism. Make sure that all of your correspondence uses proper grammar and is properly punctuated. Treat all of your email correspondence just like you would a physical application.</span>Administratorhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03923574324129152121noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5398360276426951754.post-91322005784718152092010-06-27T19:21:00.000-07:002010-06-27T19:21:00.873-07:00Drafting Your Resume<span class="Apple-style-span" style="border-collapse: separate; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: normal; orphans: 2; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px; font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: 100%;"><p align="justify"><span style="">You will find that writing your resume will be easier if you sit down and think of why you are working on a resume first.

All you career objective is, is a simple statement of what your career goals are. It sounds like something that should be easy to write but most of us find that it is the hardest part of drafting a resume. It is hard to break down your goals and dreams into a few words.</span><span style="font-size:100%;"><br /></span></p><p align="justify" style="font-family:times new roman;"><span style="font-size:100%;"><b>The Length of Your Career Objective</b></span><span style="font-size:100%;"><br /></span></p><p align="justify" style="font-family:times new roman;"><span style="font-size:100%;">Most career experts say that your career objective should be fairly short, no longer than two sentences long. It should be very simple and easy for a potential employer to read.</span><span style="font-size:100%;"><br /></span></p><p align="justify" style="font-family:times new roman;"><span style="font-size:100%;"><b>What It Should Say</b></span><span style="font-size:100%;"><br /></span></p><p align="justify" style="font-family:times new roman;"><span style="font-size:100%;">Obviously everyone's career objective is going to be unique to them. However, that doesn't mean that there isn't a standard formula you should try to adhere to. The best career objectives are personal, not generic. They should be warm and friendly, you want to think of your career statement as your resumes opening statement, it's an introduction to yourself. When you are drafting your career statement you want to give the person who is reading your resume the sense that you are very committed to your goal. You need to really believe in what you are saying; if you don't believe it, how is a person who has never met you going to take you seriously?</span><span style="font-size:100%;"><br /></span></p><p align="justify" style="font-family:times new roman;"><span style="font-size:100%;">When you are drafting your career objective it is really important that you are very specific. There are two reasons that you need to be specific. The first reason is so that your career objective doesn't sound generic. The second reason is so that the person who is reading your resume knows what you are actually applying for and that you didn't just turn in a form resume.</span><span style="font-size:100%;"><br /></span></p><p align="justify" style="font-family:times new roman;"><span style="font-size:100%;"><b>What You Shouldn't Write</b></span><span style="font-size:100%;"><br /></span></p><p align="justify" style="font-family:times new roman;"><span style="font-size:100%;">There are a few things that you shouldn't put in your career objectives. You should not say that your objective is to get the job, the person reading your resume already knows that you would like the job or else you wouldn't have turned in your resume. You also shouldn't write that your ultimate goal is to run the company, prospective employers like to hire forward thinkers but they seldom hire people to fill their shoes.</span><span style="font-size:100%;"><br /></span></p><p align="justify"><span style=";font-family:DejaVu Sans Condensed;font-size:100%;" >After you have finished writing your career objective have another person read what you wrote.

It doesn't matter if you are writing your own or if you are helping a friend write theirs, the entire process is stressful. Between the importance of the document and the sheer volume of information that you need to deal with it can make you vow to never switch jobs again,</span><span style="font-size: 100%;"><br /></span></p><p style="font-family: times new roman;" align="justify"><span style="font-size: 100%;">The trick to writing an impressive resume is to know what mistakes you need to avoid making.</span><span style="font-size: 100%;"><br /></span></p><p style="font-family: times new roman;" align="justify"><span style="font-size: 100%;"><b>Personal Websites</b></span><span style="font-size: 100%;"><br /></span></p><p style="font-family: times new roman;" align="justify"><span style="font-size: 100%;">Personal websites are becoming something that most of us now have. It is natural to think that you should include the address of your personal website on your resume. As of right now, you really shouldn't include this information on your resume. While we are on the topic you should also take a few minutes to make sure that your personal information is set up so that it can only be viewed by your friends and family members.</span><span style="font-size: 100%;"><br /></span></p><p style="font-family: times new roman;" align="justify"><span style="font-size: 100%;">The only time it is okay to include the address for your personal website is if you have set up your website to be strictly professional.<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span></span><span style="font-size: 100%;"><br /></span></p><p style="font-family: times new roman;" align="justify"><span style="font-size: 100%;"><b>Font Size</b></span><span style="font-size: 100%;"><br /></span></p><p style="font-family: times new roman;" align="justify"><span style="font-size: 100%;">There are two common mistakes when people are trying to figure out what size fonts they should use for their resume. Don't try to use a giant font size in an attempt to make your resume stand out from all the others. This makes it look like you are trying to mask a lack of information.</span><span style="font-size: 100%;"><br /></span></p><p style="font-family: times new roman;" align="justify"><span style="font-size: 100%;">On the other hand you shouldn't try to use a smaller font just so you can cram more information on a single page. Most people have a hard time treading small font and will discard the resume if they think it is too difficult to read. When you are typing your resume you should use Times New Roman and a 12 point font.</span><span style="font-size: 100%;"><br /></span></p><p style="font-family: times new roman;" align="justify"><span style="font-size: 100%;">When you print your resume you should use a white paper and black ink.</span><span style="font-size: 100%;"><br /><br /></span></p><p style="font-family: times new roman;" align="justify"><span style="font-size: 100%;"><b>Proofread</b></span><span style="font-size: 100%;"><br /></span></p><p style="font-family: times new roman;" align="justify"><span style="font-size: 100%;">You would not believe the number of people who write incorrect information on their resumes. Most of these people don't even realize that they have done it. The best way to avoid mistake like this is to read your resume before you submit it so a potential employer. Make sure that you double check all of your facts.</span><span style="font-size: 100%;"><br /></span></p><p align="justify"><span style="font-family: DejaVu Sans Condensed; font-size: 100%;">If possible have someone else read over your resume. A different set of eyes is going to be more likely to catch typos and other mistakes that you might have made.</span></p>Administratorhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03923574324129152121noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5398360276426951754.post-60454019870971268892010-04-28T19:28:00.000-07:002010-04-28T19:28:00.545-07:00The Must Get Ebook: How to Write a Professional ResumeThe book "How to Write a Professional Resume" by Carla Vaughan is pack full with helpful and informative advice.

Not only do you have to remember your entire life history, you also have to write it in such a way that a prospective employer will be able to understand it and be so impressed by what they read that they ask you to come in for a authentic interview. It usually doesn't take very long before you start to wonder if you wouldn't be better off hiring a professional resume writing service.</span><br /></p><p align="justify"><span style="font-family: DejaVu Sans Condensed; font-size: 100%;"><b>The Advantage to Writing Your Own Resume</b></span><br /></p><p align="justify"><span style="font-family: DejaVu Sans Condensed; font-size: 100%;">No one knows you better than yourself. You are the only person who knows what experiences you had while you were working at the fast food restaurant in high school. You are also the only person that remembers that you were the president of the FFA's Parliamentary Procedure team when they qualified for the state finals. The chances are pretty good that you won't remember these little details until you have started working on the first draft of your resume. These little details about yourself are exactly the types of things that will make your resume stand out from all the other resumes that a prospective employer is going to be reading.</span><br /></p><p align="justify"><span style="font-family: DejaVu Sans Condensed; font-size: 100%;">The other advantage to writing your own resume is that your voice is unique. When you hire the services of a professional resume writer there is a really good chance that your resume will sound a little generic, not something that will not help it stand out.</span><br /></p><p align="justify"><span style="font-family: DejaVu Sans Condensed; font-size: 100%;">Writing your own resume is an excellent way to save money. The services of a professional resume writer don't come cheap. The more experienced the resume writer is, the more they are going to charge for their services.</span><br /></p><p align="justify"><span style="font-family: DejaVu Sans Condensed; font-size: 100%;"><b>The Advantage of Having a Professional Resume Writer Write Your Resume</b></span><br /></p><p align="justify"><span style="font-family: DejaVu Sans Condensed; font-size: 100%;">The advantage of having a professional draft your resume is that you will be dealing with someone who has literally written hundreds, maybe even thousands of resumes. The little things like formatting and proper sentence structure is second nature to them.<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span></span><br /></p><p align="justify"><span style="font-family: DejaVu Sans Condensed; font-size: 100%;">In addition to making sure that your resume is well written, a professional resume writer will know how things like your employment history, education, and experiences should be organized for the maximum impact.</span><br /></p><p align="justify"><span style="font-family: DejaVu Sans Condensed; font-size: 100%;">When you hire the services of a professional resume writer make sure that you tell them exactly what type of job you are going to be applying for and what your career objective is. The more the resume writer knows about the easier it will be for them to write an outstanding resume.</span></p>Administratorhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03923574324129152121noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5398360276426951754.post-91796052690070233612010-03-28T19:27:00.000-07:002010-03-28T19:27:00.268-07:00Amazing Resume Creator ReviewIf you're looking for something more straight forward with proven resume templates then you should give Amazing Resume Creator a try.

It contains much helpful information that should help you in your job search.<br /><br />I could easily sell this e-book as I already have the sales page and all the other required items such as keywords, bonus courses, marketing materials, images and the MMR and PLR. Such as this site:http://resume-writing.spotlighted.co.uk/(Just a note this site isn't mine so this isn't in anyway an endorsement of it) See how I can easily make money just by using what was provided in the PLR package and a little bit of edits on the design.<br /><br />However I've chosen instead to give this free to my loyal readers who have been waiting for this for a long time.<br /><br />Here is a little snit-bit of information regarding the book such as the table of contents and a bit from the sales page.<br /><p style="text-align: left;" class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 130%;"><b><u><span style="font-family: Georgia;">Table of Contents</span></u></b></span></p><div style="text-align: left;"> </div><p style="text-align: left;" class="MsoNormal"><!--[if !supportEmptyParas]--> <!--[endif]--><o:p></o:p></p><div style="text-align: left;"><b style=""><span style="font-family: Georgia;

One cannot just walk in and meet the owner or any concerned person for getting the job in any company. There are certain formalities that are followed in every country and they are more or less uniform throughout. In order to apply for the job, the person has to file a job application addressed to the concerned person. The job application is a formal application that contains the candidate’s interest in the post that has fallen vacant. One should make sure that the language of the applicant is short and the resume is well formatted. There should be no jargon and use of colloquial expressions. The second thing that needs to be accompanied with the job application is the resume. The resume is a brief, concise and informative description of the applicant who is interested to apply for the vacant post. The resume format has to be clear and understandable and thus, must be drafted with caution. <o:p></o:p></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style=";font-family:";" ><o:p> </o:p></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style=";font-family:";" >The resume format that needs to be presented has to be chosen with care.

The opinions are usually centered on the proper formation of certain elements that contribute to an excellent resume, such as the beginning part or the objectives, the overall profile, the title given, keywords used, references, work history, salary part, personal interests, graphics, fonts, dates and of course the length. Long resumes are not really impressive all the time.</span><span style="font-size:100%;"><br /></span></p> <p style="font-family: times new roman;font-family:times new roman;" align="justify"><span style="font-size:100%;">Also, the format of a resume is always a question. Choosing the appropriate format for your resume would fetch better return at the end of the day. </span><span style="font-size:100%;"><br /></span></p> <p style="font-family: times new roman;font-family:times new roman;" align="justify"><span style="font-size:100%;"><b>Learn how to write a professional resume:</b></span><span style="font-size:100%;"><br /></span></p> <ul style="font-family: times new roman;font-family:times new roman;" type="DISC"><li><span style="font-size:100%;">Write a resume according to the situation. Resumes are of different types, depending on the job that you are applying for. Based on the personal circumstances, one must choose a proper chronological resume or a totally functional resume or may be a combination of both. A targeted resume also works well. Take ample time to target your resume; it’s worth your efforts.</span></li></ul><span style="font-family: times new roman;font-size:100%;" ><br /></span><ul style="font-family: times new roman;font-family:times new roman;" type="DISC"><li><span style="font-size:100%;">Your resume should be tailored to meet the requirements of the job being applied for. However, that doesn’t indicate dishonesty. Be honest and mention all the necessary details pertaining to your work history and salary. Background search has now become increasingly popular, and therefore falsification of data can be a very serious issue.</span></li></ul><span style="font-family: times new roman;font-size:100%;" ><br /></span><ul style="font-family: times new roman;font-family:times new roman;" type="DISC"><li><span style="font-size:100%;">Always be brief. Writing everything from your nursery class to the person you are now is not required. Based on your work experience and qualification, try to highlight the best companies you’ve worked for. Be very subtle with these particular issues. Try to present all the best things about your career concisely. It looks good and appeals the reader.</span></li></ul><span style="font-family: times new roman;font-size:100%;" ><br /></span><ul style="font-family: times new roman;font-family:times new roman;" type="DISC"><li><span style="font-size:100%;">Whenever you are writing a resume, think of the position that you are applying for. A person seeking job in an academic field would have a different way of writing than another person who is applying for a corporate sector. These are two different fields with two different outlooks. Your resume should clearly speak about your profession.</span></li></ul><span style="font-family: times new roman;font-size:100%;" ><br /></span><ul style="font-family: times new roman;font-family:times new roman;" type="DISC"><li><span style="font-size:100%;">Resumes must be written in perfect English with no grammatical errors or typing mistakes. If you aren’t really sure about your English writing skills, you can hire a professional resume writer to do the needful.</span></li></ul><span style="font-family: times new roman;font-size:100%;" ><br /></span><ul style="font-family: times new roman;font-family:times new roman;" type="DISC"><li><span style="font-size:100%;">Finally, please don’t add any irrelevant information to your resume. It should be 100% professional. No one is interested in knowing your personal interests when you are applying for a job. Irrelevant matter would only add more pages that are useless.</span></li></ul><span style="font-family: times new roman;font-size:100%;" ><br /></span><span style="font-family: times new roman;font-family:Arial;font-size:100%;" >To complete your resume, write a professional cover letter highlighting your skills and make sure your resume does not exceed 2 pages.
