How To Write A Resume

A resume must be reader friendly, pertain to the job you are applying for, and can be up to two pages long. The key is to have information that will convince a manager, person hiring, you are perfect.

Look no further is seen through your objective, and supported throughout the resume.

It is not necessary to use the word objective. In place of objective: looking to, seeking, or goal.

Tailor-cut every resume to the position.

Name
Address
City/State, Zip Code
Telephone Number
Email Address

Objective: Your first line explains how you can help a company,

and the rest of your resume re-inforces it.

Experience: Display jobs you have held. Start with the most

recent, include dates.

For those that do not have job experience, jot down

the qualifications you feel is best suited to prove

line one.

Education: College degrees, course, and credits fill this space.

Mention internships if relevant.

Computer: State the fact you are knowledgeable in Excel, etc.

The mission is to uncover everything you have done to show worthiness for the job. In fairness, always state your actual experiences and/or qualifications. Sometimes, one is hired before the complete background check is done. If a false statement is uncovered that equals immediate termination.

In conclusion, before reaching for a certain job, make sure you have the required tools for it. You do that by searching through your education and/or experiences to see if you are the "one." It is a good idea to send resumes out to a number of employers at once.
