THE BEST RESUME TIPS 2013
When Creating your Resume in the Second Decade of the Twenty-First Century, particularly for the Years of 2013 and 2014, the First Thing to remember that the recruiter usually spend a Maximum of 10-15 Seconds to read it. Therefore, it is Strongly Recommended to Choose a Template for Your Resume which is Simple, Short and to the Point!
The Reader or Employer wants to know about your Transferable skills, Relevant Experiences, Qualifications, Key Achievements and if there’s anything special about you that sets you apart from other Applicants. Everything else they will Ask you During Interview.
RESUME FORMAT:
A Resume sell your skills and capabilities to a prospective employer, so it must be a professional document reflecting your overall personality and traits. Having said that, a good resume needs to be something special that hiring manager enjoy reading.
Use Standard and Plain Fonts like Arial, Times New Roman, Calibri OR Verdana. Don’t get bogged down by prettily designing the resume through borders or images except you are a graphic designer and needs to showcase your talent.
OBJECTIVE / PROFILE SUMMARY:
There is a Controversy about writing an Objective Statement on a Resume. We strongly recommend that Entry Level and Less Experienced candidates should write a targeted objective at the very beginning of their Resume. Be enthusiastic when writing your objective. Tell the employer what skills would you bring and how would you contribute to the mission of organization.
Alternately, a Professional Profile is suitable for Highly Experienced Candidates. It can be Written in Paragraph or Bullet Form.
BE HONEST:
Be Completely Honest. If you haven’t held a job in Past Or You’re just Out of College, don’t try to write false information. If you do this, they’ll definitely find the truth at a later stage. Write truth they’ll Respect Your Honesty.
DO NOT COPY:
Originality is Extremely Important. If you copied your Resume from other source or internet, you can be identified through software and the chance of interview will be Diminished.
GRAMMAR CONCERNS:
Check your Resume thrice for Punctuation and Grammatical Mistakes! If your Resume contains these Errors, it will show that you are Terribly Careless, and Nobody is going to hire a Careless Person.
USE SIMPLE TEMPLATE:
A simple Template might like: Write your Objective, Achievements, Experience, Qualification and Skills. Don’t Forget to Add Full Contact Details, So You Don’t Annoy your Prospective Employer when s/He wants to Contact You.
CUSTOMIZE YOUR RESUME:
Don’t Send a Standard Resume to Everyone, instead write a Different and Tailored Resume for every Organization you Apply. Let the Organization know you’ve worked hard at Researching it and Modifying your Resume to it. This action will increase your Applications’s Credibility by 80%.
