Building a Strong Resume A strong resume is vital to finding a job. Think of your resume as a marketing tool that grabs the attention of a hiring manager and gets you in the door of the company to make your sales pitch. Determine your objective. Clearly state what sort of job you want and how your skills and experiences will fit the position. This will help you structure your resume content and help you be clear and concise. Don’t forget to tailor your objective to each individual position you apply for. Use bulleted sentences. Use bullets with short sentences in the body of your resume instead of long paragraphs. Resumes should be a quick read, so make key phrases and accomplishments stand out. Highlight your strengths. Incoming resumes are usually reviewed in 10 to 30 seconds, so it’s important to highlight your strengths that are most relevant to the employer. Put your strongest and most relevant points first where they are most likely to be read. Be positive. It’s important to convey a positive attitude on your resume and during your interview. Therefore, leave negative or irrelevant points off your resume. Overall presentation. Resumes should be no longer than one to two pages and you shouldn’t use smaller than a 10-point font. Also, don’t jam your resume full of text and information – white space is important. Third-party advice. It’s always a good idea to get someone else to review your resume before sending it off. Whether it is a friend or a resume service, having another set of eyes look it over can help improve your resume and catch any spelling or grammar mistakes you may have overlooked. |
