Writing The Effective Resume The First Step Toward Landing Your Next Job

Writing An Effective Resume What information should be in a resume? Characteristics of a successful resume. Functional or Chronological. Scannable resume.

What Information Should Be In A Resume? Identify Yourself Education Continuing Education Work or Professional Experience Volunteer Experience Activities Computer Skills Professional Associations Optional Sections Objective Special Skills and Abilities Reference Statement

Characteristics Of A Successful Resume Focuses on skills. Uses action words to define the responsibilities of your job-related experience. Easy to read and understand. Visually powerful and free of gimmicks. One page, or at most 2 pages long.

Characteristics Of A Successful Resume Language is grammatically correct. Spelling has been checked. Formal Style

Resume Faux Pax Typos and Grammar Slips “Great attention to detail.” “Proven ability to track down and correct erors.” “Am a perfectionist and rarely if ever forget etails.” Accomplishments: Completed 11 years of high school.” Don’t use “I” or “me”

Characteristics Of A Successful Resume Must always be 100% truthful. Contains no inappropriate personal information. Produced on a computer. Data presented in chronological order (unless functional).

Functional Resumes Doesn’t go in chronological order. Based upon competencies or skills. Used for career changers or those with unconventional work histories (or executives). Might say “Sales Experience” then list it. Typically brief with a simple list of positions held, etc. De-emphasizes importance of specific jobs. Drawbacks to this system (not as popular).

Scannable Resume Watch bullet points (don’t always scan). How about a dash - ? Use labels or keywords. Less is more. Keep the design simple. Minimize use of abbreviations.

Basic Checklist No spelling or grammar errors. Neat, clean, and professional looking. Length should be 1-2 pages. Margins at sides and bottom. Layout makes reading easy. Use of white space is effective.

Basic Checklist Important titles should be emphasized. Experiment with fonts & styles; bold, italic, and underlines. No more than 2 or 3 different sizes. Information is logically recorded. Use Action Verbs for accomplishments & results.

Basic Checklist Bullet points when possible for accomplishments. Quantify your results whenever you can. Format - chronological
