Resume Writing - Creative Resume Samples
Back in the 'good old days', finding a job was often as
simple as walking in the door of the company you wanted to
work for, and asking. Nowadays, however, the process has
generally become a lot more complicated. Most of the time
the first step in the process is submitting your resume to
the company you want to get a job with. So if you find the
whole idea of writing a resume scary, you're certainly not
alone!
If you want to write a really good resume, then you need to
start by defining your goals. What sort of job are you
trying to get? Who do you want to apply to? Once you know
the answers, you can create your resume accordingly.
Remember, though, there's no guarantee that your resume will
get you in the door, no matter how good it is. So don't
spend months stressing over making it perfect - just make
sure it's good enough for what you need.
One good rule of thumb with a resume is to keep is short and
precise. A potential employer doesn't want to read page
after page containing your complete life history. Think
about the things the employer is most likely to be looking
for in an employee, and make sure that's what your resume
tells them. If you think the job will require someone with
an attention to detail, then make sure you mention that's a
strength of yours. In summarizing your responsibilities at
past jobs, include tasks where attention to detail was
required. That way you can show the prospective employer how
your skills can be useful to their organization.
Not sure what sort of qualities the employer might be
looking for? Don't make the mistake of writing a very
general resume in the hope that you'll cover all the right
bases. Spend some time researching the industry. Ask
professionals in the industry what sort of things they'd
look for when hiring someone. Read job advertisements for
that industry carefully, and pick out any clues you can
find, such as if they mention any qualities they're looking
for. Visit your library or do some research on the internet.
In particular, check and see if your prospective employer
has a website. The more you know about the industry you want
to join, the easier it will be to target your resume
effectively. It also means that if you make it to a job
interview, your knowledge will help give the employer
confidence that you know something about the industry.
Once you know the sort of slant you need to give your
resume, it's time to put it together. There are a number of
parts to your resume, and these can vary depending on the
industry, but the following points generally should be
covered by your resume in some form:
- positive personal characteristics
- computer or technical skills
- employment history
- educational background and results (include GPA if it's
over 3.0)
- any other relevant accomplishments, such as a public
speaking award
If there's one basic rule to keep in mind when you're
writing a resume, it's this - put in everything that shows
the value you can add to the prospective employer, and as
much as possible leave out everything that doesn't. That's
it! |
