Resume is a document aim at revealing your capability in terms of knowledge, skills and experiences required for a particular job. I have warmed against the use of static CV for all types of job opening that you are applying for. Each job is never the same in terms of requirements from employers. Your resume is the first meeting point between you and employers. It is one of your key selling points.
Resume should be maintained at one page or at most two pages, remember that you are not the only candidate applying and employer have limited time to view these resumes. Take a good look at the job requirements and fine tune your resume to show the required knowledge, skills and experience that the employer is looking for.
Make sure you have knowledge of the position you are applying for. And if it is close to your field and it required more information, look for more information on the key responsibilities listed in the job requirement.
Below is the key information that should be given attention to when writing resume.
Personal details: this should show your name, and how you can be contacted.
Career Objective: Tell the employer about the success you are bringing into their oragnisation if you are given the chance. Do not compose a weak objective statement. Take your time to draft a mouth watering objective.
Skills: use this space very well in stating all the skills that you processed in a well formatted way. Review the job requirements and add additional skills that will give your resuming attention based on what employer is looking for
Educational history: tell them your highest academic qualification which is also the qualification required in the job requirements unless otherwise stated.
Courses attended: tell them about the courses that you have attended that are related to the job opening. Be smart to briefly highlight the importance of such courses.
Experiences: Take your time to fill in at least three out of your work experiences. Dwell much on your current position. Note, you have to describe your activities results in details. Project undergone should also be mentioned. Tell them what you have accomplished while on those job positions than focusing on your routine activities.
Simplicity: no one is interested about the number of colour, lines, border and painting you give to your resume. Make it neat and simple in nature. Do not copy templates that will not suit your information.
Lastly keep details of the jobs that you have posted your resuming for because this will help you prepare better whenever you are invited. Visit company website to gather as much as information about them and prepare questions that you will also want to know about the establishment

DeleteWhile it is necessary to create a compelling resume to catch the eye of potential recruiters, there are some elements that can be given importance like resume format, spelling, background information. One must always include a cover letter along with the resume. A cover letter should mention your details, your qualifications supporting your application and your interest in the organization.
