Resume writing is said to be the most discouraging task to do, but if you remember a few guidelines for writing a resume, it is actually very easy to write. It should hook your potential employer’s interest. It is not writing a story about your life and it does not have to have the answers to all the questions the employer might have. That the job can be handled by the interview!
Take into consideration the following points if you want to have effective resume skills:
- Firstly you should start by researching on the company you want to apply for. From here you can pick up a few important keywords related to the requirement of the job. Use these keywords through out your resume to show the employer you have what they are looking for.
- Next point you have to keep in mind, is to emphasize each and every skill you have learned in your job experiences which is related to the job you are applying for. Also connect your achievements in a manner that it shows the employer how it will benefit him/her.
- Your degrees, certificates, or any other specialized training should be mentioned in the resume. Do not include your hobbies, unless they are required or directly apply to the job requirements. Focus on demonstrating your worth, everything else should be left out.
- Avoid using the words many times in your resume. You can use words like accomplished, achieved, completed, enhanced, obtained, succeeded, secured, etc.
