11 Tips on creating a powerful resume
Your personal resume is the greatest asset you have. Combined with
your covering letter it markets your true potential to a prospective
employer. Without a resume you will not gain an interview.
Here are 11 tips on creating a powerful resume.
1. Don't expect the person reading your resume to know and
understand industry "jargon". Explain the term in "layman" language.
2. Be descriptive in your duty statement(s). This needs to
demonstrate your suitability for the position.
3. Start each sentence with a powerful action word.
4. Know and understand your attributes and aspirations, and
succinctly describe this to the reader. Your objectives should be
matching the position you're applying for.
5. Check your dates. Are there any gaps or overlaps? Do you need to
explain gaps? For instance, you may have a 6 month gap in employment
due to private travel. You may need to explain this gap.
6. Use bullet pointed sentences throughout your resume. This makes
it easier to read.
7. Forget about fancy fonts. Not only can it be hard to read, but it
also makes it unreadable for scanning software.
8. Always double check your resume for spelling, punctuation and
grammatical errors.
9. Your resume is a reflection of you. Keep it as concise as
possible, and don't waffle! Quality rather than quantity is the rule.
10. After you have written your resume, seek an independent review.
Being "too close" can lead to costly mistakes.
11. Time spent in preparing your resume will certainly be rewarded
with your high interview success. First impressions do count.
