5 Points of an Effective Resume

Creating a resume sounds simple enough.

Write what you've done…

Who you are…

And why you should be hired for the job.

An employer will look at your

resume, see that you are qualified,

and hire you.

Unfortunately, there's a lot more

to writing a resume than that.

Keep in mind most resumes are looked at for 5 - 6 seconds.

Here are 5 TIPS to clean up your resume and

boost your chances of getting the job.

1. Be Brief

Be succinct and to the point.

For example:

State that you were a "Hiring Manager"

For example:

Not that you were a "Vice President of Human Resources Operations."

2. Be Specific

Don’t use generic terms to describe your previous job.

For example:

Don't write "supervised a department store."

Instead, write…

"Supervised six employees and accounted for $1,600,000

worth of inventory on a daily basis."

3. Be Relevant Emphasize the jobs that most heavily

relate to the one you are applying for.

Look at the job description and try to tailor your key words to

the ones in the ad.

4. Be Error-Free Resumes should be perfect, grammatically speaking.

Ask someone to proof-read it for you.

5. Be Clean Don't clutter up your resume; make effective use of whitespace.

Keep your resume to one or two pages unless additional information is

requested.

Resumes are a game of minutiae so never

stop improving and adjusting yours …

… in order to land the job you deserve.
