Improve Your Resume
Your resume gets to your potential employer before you do-and makes an unbending impression. To make sure your ‘first impression’ doesn’t compromise your talent, it’s very important to have a resume that translates your potential to the maximum effect. Here are a few go-get ways to get your resume noticed:
- Highlight your accomplishments by replacing your job description with your achievements throughout your tenure with an organization.
- Numbers are much more retainable than words-so quantify your achievements
- Go from recent to ancient. If you have worked even at one place, list it before your education. Also, keep the most important ingredient of your resume on top and following in the same manner.
- Nobody likes to read thesis-so make your resume user friendly by adding bullets and headings.
- Custom-made your resume for the job. If a particular job requires you to be confident and extrovert, list your accomplishments in that area first.
- One page resume rule expired decades ago
- Avoid too much details-have sharp, focused and meaningful information.
Remember: resume is your ticket to your dream job and the only way to pique an employer’s interest. The purpose is to promote yourself without being pompous, and prove how well you can communicate a point without verbal communication. You will make a big mistake underestimating the importance of resume-so don’t!
