Most of us know that even the best resume doesn't guarantee you a job. But did you know that a poorly written resume can take you out of the running completely?
The resume is a one- to two-page summary of your relevant work experience, education and qualifications. This document helps prospective employers develop that critical first impression of you as a strong candidate. It's a "calling card" that plays a key role in securing interviews.
The Basics
Create an accurate, succinct account of your professional experience, accomplishments and education.
Focus on achievements and qualifications that relate specifically to the job opening. Remember, if you're targeting varying positions you may need to develop several different resumes.
Use a readable, uncluttered format.
Organize your resume chronologically, listing your most recent job first, followed by additional work experience in reverse chronological order, then education.
You may include activities with professional, trade and civic associations, recent courses taken and other special skills — as long as they are related to the position for which you are applying.
On an average day, hundreds of resumes reach a recruiter’s desk and your resume has less than 60 seconds to tell your prospective employer about your credentials. They understand the techniques required to succeed in today's highly competitive job market. The result – A precise, customized, impressive, and focused resume!
