Contents of Resume And Tips
1. It should be snapshot profile of your personality You need to consciously bring forth those specific aspects out of your own years of Experience, or of Your Academic and Extracurricular Achievements, that the advertiser is perhaps looking for in a "probably a suitable candidate" and paste at the top of your resume as a Summary in four to six lines.
2. As an applicant you must write the resume giving information about yourself only after you have prepared yourself well. It is useful to gather all information about yourself and jot down the various jobs you have done, the various responsibilities that you held, various achievements that you have achieved. Be it your in your jobs or in college or at school. This is not easy. But have patience. Your future depends on how well you are prepared.
3. Assimilate this information based on category of experience, skills, period or whatever, even if across jobs. Put it out as a draft. Refine and finalize. Put all these details in the resume at the top frame under sub heading: Summary: It will help hold interest for the reader to go on. Be precise and honest. Do not lie.
4. Interviewing is a scientific process of information gathering. Many interviewers have mastered the skill of interviewing and a good interviewer will puncture holes in a resume-forte and will be able to see through the bloating however carefully one may have woven
5. While a resume may sound impressive, result of the interview may turn out to be just otherwise. Time and time over again. More number of times you lose, you only add to your own frustration. One is playing a lose-lose game.
6. While you should make all the headings bold using title case, the sub-headings should be normal-italic. Add spaces after a coma or a full stop and not before. Leave one space, max two spaces, after full stop. Avoid using exclamation marks (!) or question marks (?). Use Tab(s) after colon (:) and standardize one tab position for the whole document to present information neatly. There should not be any spelling mistakes. These speak poorly of your candidature. Poor spellings and wrong sentences puts off the readers and gives them a reason to reject. Do not waste efforts in dividing your resume by shaded heading text-boxes. While such formats look neat on your computer screens; the print outs may turn out to be horrible or garbled.
7. After the Name and contact details, mention your qualifications. It is useful to begin with the highest one first and then go backwards. It is important to mention the course, university / institution and the period of study. Percentage CGPA or any other ranking helps. Take an opportunity to highlight merits in class / college/ university, including scholarships, certifications etc if any.
8. Experience DetailsCover the current job responsibilities first and go backwards. But cover all aspects that you have handled. Mention in brief only. Who knows that may be that's what the prospective employer is looking for? Be proud. There is no harm in saying, "I have done it", but state facts. You CANNOT change your dates of employment.
9. You CANNOT get away with lying if your company went under Closure please mention everything you have done. You CAN leave out irrelevant jobs . If you are willing to explain a three-month gap in between jobs, you don't have to mention that you took a horrible job at a call centre and resigned right away. You also don't need to list every job you've had for the last 25 years. Stick with the most recent and relevant experience.Inaccurate dates to cover up job frequent changes of job or gaps in employment
10. You CANNOT mess around with academic credentials NO-Half-finished degrees, inflated education or "purchased" degrees that do not mean anything .NO-Inflated salaries .NO-Inflated accomplishments.In case if any course is part time or through correspondence, do mention it now rather than being discovered later.
11. Mention Skills, Technologies Training,Computer Savvyness needs clear mention
12. Do not abbreviate or create your own acronyms. Mention key words in accepted standard form only, lest they get missed in electronic search.
13. Do mention your role / reporting relationship and add the specific achievement / contribution that you have made to the project / job.
14. Mention about reviews and quality aspects. Customer appreciations about your work are best credentials. Don't miss mentioning them.
15. Don't do cut and paste job responsibility descriptions across the projects/jobs. Treat each one separately. Even if the job is similar, no two are exactly the same. Some things are different.
16. In the end, do mention your extra curricula achievements, hobbies, and interests, permanent address etc.
17. A well-selected resume will increase your success rate. You may have the right experience that Employer may like to leverage upon. Employer is going to judge you by what you say, how you say in C.V first, And most of all, your fitment into the organization culture guide is your C.V
18. His assessment of your capability of handling the job that he has pending, awaiting the filling of the vacancy. He questions himself, Are you the best person to handle the assignment?
19. Therefore, please understand that writing a good resume is essential for success. It is an art you can easily master. Seek professional help if you still do not have the skill or the patience with yourself.
20. Avoid unnecessary repetition Apply in good time. Do not wait till the last date of application submission. By that date, in a private organization, the recruitment may already be well beyond half way.
21. Remember, the advertiser is keen to close the position the quickest. His business is suffering.
