Presentation transcript:

A Resume or Curriculum Vitae (CV) is an objective written summary of your personal, educational, and experience qualifications. It packages your assets in the form of a convincing advertisement, which sells you for a specific job.

The basic requirements for a good resume are: - Brevity: one page is preferable, but not more than two pages; Top quality paper; - Perfect spelling and grammar; - No typological errors; - Attractive layout.

Chronological resume lists work experience or education in reverse chronological order. It describes responsibilities and accomplishments associated with each job or educational experiences. Functional resume lists functional skills and experience separately from employment history. →

Combination (functional / chronological) resume draws on the best features of the chronological and functional and functional resumes. It highlights an applicant’s capabilities and includes a complete job history. Targeted resume emphasizes capabilities and accomplishments relating to the specific job applied for. Work experience is briefly listed in a separate section. →

Knowing what to exclude from your resume is as important as knowing what to include. Here is a list of details to exclude from your resume:  Height, weight, hair or eye color;  Comments about your family, spouse, or children;  Your photograph (unless you are applying for modeling or acting job);  Travel restrictions;  Preferences for work schedule, days off, or overtime;  Salary demands or expectations.

Some special suggestions will help you write a perfect resume : Adapt your resume to the information you have gathered about the employer and the job you want. Use action verbs, they will bring your resume to life. Avoid the pronoun “I”. Describe your skills and capabilities by using as many specific words as possible. Highlight your accomplishments and achievements. Keep it simple and clear: two pages at most.

Be truthful. Don’t exaggerate or misrepresent yourself. Remember that employers check the information. Don’t mention salary. Avoid long sentences. Use the minimum number of words and phrases but avoid abbreviations.

Looks are important!! Make sure there are no errors in spelling, punctuation, or typing. Don’t sign or date the resume. Always send an original of your resume. Don’t send a photocopy. Keep copies of resumes on file for future reference.

THE JOB INTERVIEW What makes a good interview? Ten simple guidelines will help you. 1. Find out as much as possible about the company where you are going for an interview. 2. Find out if the interview is with one person or with a group of people, and what their jobs are. 3. Make a checklist of the questions you want to ask at the interview.

4. Dress smartly!!! 5. Arrive in good time. 6. Create a good first impression. 7. Try to stay positive and relaxed during in the interview.

8. Don’t give only “Yes” or “No” answers. 9. Ask questions !!! 10. Learn from the interview. Analyze your performance afterwards and think how you can improve the next time. GOOD LUCK !=)
