-Here are some ideas to gather more
and more employment opportunities with the help of your impressive resumes.
1.First
understand the difference between a resume and a CV. While CV is very descriptive
and lengthy, resume is short and concise comparatively.
2.Keep your
resume of one or two pages. Highlight significantly your professional skills that
are relevant to the position you are applying for.
3.Point out
clearly your specialization. Your interviewer is very much likely to interested
in that.
4.Don't include
very extensive objective. If you choose to include an objective then be concise
and clear.
5.Give complete
contact information. Also include your mailing address, phone number, fax number,
and email address.
6.When saving
your resume on the computer, use your last name for the filename. This will make
you appear sensible and will be useful at time when submitting your resume online.
7.Never submit
your resume in nonstandard applications.
8.Enlist your
educational background in appropriate order. In case of less experience, emphasize
on your education.
9.Provide relevant
information only. There is no need to show gaps in your employment chart.
10.Let yourself
and others also proofread your resume thoroughly. This is more important if your
native language is not English. A resume full of spelling flaws will make your capabilities
questionable.
11.Don't use
unusual or loud fonts. Use common ones like Arial, Times or Times New Roman.
12.Frequently
update your resume. This way your profile will keep on getting updated in the minds
of prospective clients.
13.Do not label
your resume with word ?Resume?. It is obvious.
14.If sending
resume to U.S then do not include personal information such as age or marital status.
In fact would even ask you about these, as U.S employers would be breaking the law
by asking for
it.
15.Do not list
your grades or scores. If your scores are low, it won't help and they are high,
it might appear immodest. Rather use a subtle way to indicate your high performance,
i.e. by listing honors academically.
16.Finally,
don't make things up?be truthful and accurate.
