Member You - Top 10 Ways to Improve Your Resume!
Do you know how the company you work for picked the chair that you sitting on? It wasn’t picked with your comfort in mind. It wasn’t picked for your ergonomic pleasure. It wasn’t even picked with you in mind at all. Office chairs are picked by color and style of a person who really doesn’t
8. Don't waste space. Telling the reader that you have "References Available Upon Request" is both a waste of space and somewhat of an insult to their intelligence.
9. Don't get too personal. Leave out personal information such as your age, sex, height, etc. Don't include a picture of yourself either. The content should pertain to your experience and qualifications. Period.
10. Monitor your results. Is your r?sum? working? Is it
In my years helping small business start-ups, I’ve seen the same mistakes repeated over and over. Many of these mistakes are the same ones I made with my first business two decades ago. They’re really easy to avoid for start-up entrepreneurs who are willing to learn the secrets and short cuts
1. Pull them in. Use keywords that stand out and bring attention to your abilities and accomplishments.
2. Prove it. Don't just list responsibilities, list results. Show how having you as an employee benefited your previous employers.
3. Simplify but don't omit. Keep your r?sum? simple and to the point but don't sacrifice content for length. The "traditional" wisdom is that a r?sum? should only be one page long, but this is increasingly antiquated advice. While you may find it easy to fit all your information onto just one page, don't be worried if you have to continue on a second page.
4. Submit the right r?sum?. If you are applying to five different kinds of positions, you should have five different versions of your r?sum?. Each one should be specifically tailored to show why you are the best candidate for that particular job.
5. Use appropriate language. Never speak of yourself in the first person (i.e. "I was responsible for..."), instead use sentences like "Managed 20 direct mail campaigns." Also, always try to begin with an action verb such as Managed, Organized, Oversaw, Coordinated, etc.
6. Doubel check your sspelling. Something seem wrong with the last sentence? It should. If your r?sum? contains misspelled words, you are almost guaranteed not to get the job. Don't just rely on your computer's spell checker. Print your r?sum? and read it out loud to yourself. If something doesn't seem right to you, it most certainly won't seem right to a HR manager.
7. Keep it current. Update your r?sum? at least once every six months.
