Writing a resume in not rocket science. Writing a killer resume - one that rocks - will take a little bit more work.
Before you even begin writing a resume, make sure that you have a good, solid outline of all your career information on hand. Once you get going you're not going to want to be digging for old records, phone numbers and contact names. Have it all handy in front of you.
Decide on which type of resume suits your needs. Chronological is best used for more conservative professions with more traditional values. For example if you want to stress that you've worked for the top companies in your field and the new position is with an older, more conservative company, then by all means use the Chronological resume type. If the company and position you're applying for is more interested in what you will bring to their table than in what you did in the past, then the Functional type of resume is best.
If you're following a sample format, start by simply plugging your information in the specific areas and that's it for the basics! You have supplied all the basic information that EVERY resume is required to provide. Now you make it a resume that rocks by using the Resume Objectives and Resume Summary areas.
These two areas are where you will need to shine. Where you will need to make your resume stand out from all the rest. How do you do it, though?
You also need to make good use of action words and keywords when you write a resume. Focus on your achievements rather than your duties or your responsibilities. Match the keywords on your resume to the keywords on the job listing when appropriate. This will help to demonstrate that you are a good match for the job.
My being YOU! By revealing the you that is just waiting to come into a new position and rock their little (or big) world. By stirring things up with your sense of humor and your outgoing personality. (Not to much humor!!! And not to outgoing, because then you'll be in danger of being thought of as a "water-cooler" type of person!).
The key is to use these areas of the resume to let the readers feel as though they want to know you better. You intrigue them. You want to make them feel as though you'd be the prefect fit for the position. Make them want to meet you face to face! (aka "Interview")
Writing a resume that rocks will get you the interview - make sure you do your homework beforehand! |
