You will need to know how to write a resume that is effective and will give the results you want. Let’s start off with determining what the purpose of a resume is. The purpose is to obtain a interview and ultimately get a job or internship. It is very important to be selective in the information you place in your resume and include details that are only relevant to the employer and the position. Avoid using pronouns and articles (a, an, the) whenever possible. ! The formatting of a resume is important and provides the information needed in a logical, easy to read sequence. When using underlines, italics, bold, and all caps it helps guide the employer through the resume with ease. A key word is consistency which makes the information on the resume simple for the employers to read. Including personal information is a highlight in your resume. The employer wants to know your name, address, phone number, and email address on the top of the first page of your resume. Personal information such as religion,age, political affiliation,and martial status are not included on a resume. There are considered illegal questions for the employers to ask. !

...Writing a Resume Your resume isn’t your autobiography. It’s a short document, meant to show an employer that you’re a desirable candidate for an available job. Writing an effective resume presents you as a well-qualified, interesting individual who is worthy of a face-to-face interview. Employers may receive over 100 resumes for a single job opening. While ideally each candidate would receive equal time, the fact is that employers typically sort through a pile and put the most appealing specimens at the top of the heap. Statistically, your resume has about ten to twenty seconds to either float to the top (for further analysis) or sink to the bottom (obscurity in the employer’s personnel files). Steps to Writing a Resume Gathering Information Whether you’re writing a resume for one employer or several, the job of writing a resume is much easier when you take the time to put all of your information in front of you. Besides that, putting all of your information in one place gives you a handy reference to make sure that each resume you write has all the information you want to disclose to prospective employers. It also makes updating and writing new resumes easier than starting from scratch. Resumes are divided into three sections: experience, skills, and education. Using these sections, brainstorm a list of all the data that might be pertinent to getting the job you want now and jobs you may consider in the future. If you’re writing a resume for...

But if you don’t have a job yet, how do you get either? Don’t panic. Your degree program is already helping you obtain knowledge in these areas. And there are lots of other ways to gain career skills, too -- both with and without a paycheck. Check out the many ways you can build your skills: 1. Volunteering.

Visit volunteermatch.org to find opportunities near you. 2. Internships and Co-ops. Use these opportunities to develop skills in your chosen field.

...By: Bryan Choong Kok Loon The career talk that I had attended is ‘Resume Writing and Interview Preparation’ by PWC. Based on my personal opinion, the career talk was quite knowledgeable and interesting as it helps me to prepare myself when I’m in the working industry. Resume is basically an introduction of myself to let the employer know about me. There’s a few pros and cons about the career talk that I had attended.

She even showed a few example of good resumes and bad resumes so that we would get the rough idea of how to write a good resume. She guided and showed everyone step by step from writing a good resume to get our resume accepted by the company. Besides that, she showed us the formats of resume and other good information that we could use for writing a good resume. She also did a simple role-play with us, students, on how a normal interview would be and guided us on how to attract the employers attention. I’ve learnt a lot of good and interesting points that would help me in the future when I’m writing a resume and going for an interview. She even pointed out that we should always keep in mind to be friendly to anyone we see when we are going for an interview because we might not know if they are the employer that’s going to interview us.

We need something to help us stand out and be chosen to meet for a face to face interview. A resume is will be our first line of communication to our new and future employment.

Since then I had improved my resume and it has helped me land great positions to is leading me to my future career goals. Review Feedback I had recently updated my resume after getting hired with a new company. I had my mother, who has held several leadership roles in the past and now, to look over my resume and provide me feedback as to how I can make it better for any future opportunities. First thing she has told me was that my skills and experience listed where great but, a bit lengthy. She has mentioned that since I am no longer seeking employment in the medical field, which I held for about 4 to 5 years, it is irrelevant to what I hope to apply for in the future in Accounting and/or Administrative work.

Here are five tips to help you produce an effective résumé: 1. Include a career summary at the top of your résumé You only have a matter of seconds -- a minute if you're lucky -- to impress a human resource or hiring manager with your résumé. Don't make them search for the important material. By including a career summary at the top, it will give managers an immediate snapshot of your skills and accomplishments. 2. Keep it up to date No matter the state of the economy, you should always have a recent résumé and portfolio on hand. Fifty percent of the 8,038 employees surveyed by CareerBuilder.com said their résumés aren't up to date. Any time your responsibilities increase or you accomplish something significant, update your résumé with that information. You never know when you'll need to produce a current résumé. 3.

In fact, 51 percent of human resource managers report using them in the hiring process. To avoid the discard pile, integrate keywords from the job posting into your résumé. Doing so will heighten your chances of showing up near the top of the employer's ranking of the most relevant candidates...

...does he mean by this title. What I mean, is if you are constantly sending out resumes and filling out online applications and you are not getting any callbacks or interviews then you need to take a look at your resume, a real hard look, to see where you are falling through the cracks. Approximately ninety to ninety-five percent of all resumes and online applications go nowhere because your résumé does not contain the correct key words that the company has setup within its software. Here is how you know that you are not getting through the software. About seven to ten business days after you apply; you will receive either a letter in the mail or an email telling you that they have decided to go with a more qualified candidate. how many of you have received this type of information? (wait for a show of hands, everyone should raise their hand). Those of you who are not raising your hand are just lying to yourself. Even I have gotten these forms of communications. So I know everyone in this room has received them too. Well, how can you fix your resume? Go and talk to your career counselor and make the changes that they suggest. I did. I cut my resume down from eight pages to two, encompassing just the last seven years of my work history. Then I have modified my summary and other aspects of my resume. I have now been searching for a new position for the last couple of quarters, and with my new resume I have gotten past the software. I have gotten to the next stage which is the...
