7 tips to write a winning resume

The first thing an employer sees which is the product of your work is your resume. If your resume is filled with errors, you are telling the employer the extent at which you make mistakes. You must approach every job opportunity as a precious opportunity and with every seriousness.

At this time of record unemployment all over the world, how do you make your resume stand out, more impressive? You can produce a resume that will stand out if you have a great background. Your resume has two role to play. The first role is to grab enough attention to get itself read. The second role is to be informative enough to get you pass the first cut-off and get to the interview round.

Here are rules that can help you produce a resume that will meet these conditions:

• Your resume must be tailored for each job. Do not write the same resume for every job position. Resumes are like the stage and you the performer. It is not just what the performer sings that make the concert, it is when he sings it and how he sings it.

• If the job calls for a specialist with graduate degree in information and communication technology and you start by telling them all about your work history, then you have lost the job.

• Take your clues from the job description, and start your resume off by emphasizing your educational background. Give the employer what they want and tell them what they expect.

Put Your Best First

• However, resumes are unlike concert when the best is saved for last. A resume for technical industry has different style that is right for them, unlike resumes for creative industry like fashion design. One requires flair while the other does not.

• Spell-check again and again and again.

• Each section of your resume should be well organize and match the way all other sections are organized. If sections and subsections do not match in format to the other sections and subsections, it means you are disorganized. The style of sections and subsections must match. Whatever you decide on, be consistent.

Be well detailed, details are almost all that matters. Do not assume you will have time to explain this at interview. If your resume does not catch the imagination of the employer, you will not get to the interview. Use details to tell the story of what you did in each job.
