Writing your resume, writing your sales pitch.
When writing your resume remember that it is not just recruiters looking at this document but the very people who will want to hire you. This means you have to consider a number factors:
Does your resume express your Skills, Experience, Project Details, Achievements / Awards, Success Stories relevant to jobs being applied for?
- Have you done a Spelling and Grammar check with the UK or Australian checker, not the USA?
- If English is not your first language are you really happy with the Content, Spelling and Grammar.
- Recruiters will need to make amendments to your resume. FACT – Whether you like it or not if a resume is not in a format that is format friendly you will be asked to send it again or passed over as too hard to format. Present your resume in a Word Document excluding Tables and complicated formatting.
- Does your resume match your Linkedin profile?
Does your resume come with a Summary Profile that can be turned into an Executive Pitch?
- Don’t pay good money to a Resume Writer – Find an experienced recruiter who values you and can help you with your resume investing time and energy into your campaign.
- Don’t SPAM your resume to everyone and every job.
- Be HONEST!
- Be prepared to reformat for each company. Your recruiter will advise what each potential employer prefers.
The art to a good resume is having the person reading it wanting to interview you immediately.
