WRITING RESUMES THAT GET RESULTS

Put yourself into the employer's shoes - why should they hire you? That is the question your resume must answer.

Realize that your resume is a snapshot of your career. It should reflect your achievements, plus represent your skills and abilities. It must be a positive expression of what you do and how well you do it. It needs to sell YOU!

So how do you write such a document? Start by identifying your strengths. Don't hesitate to sing your own praises - it's OK to promote yourself in a job search. In fact, it's expected.

Once you have a comprehensive list of strengths, prioritize it according to your accomplishments. The most important ones need to appear at the top of your resume. Did you know that your resume must catch the employer's eye within a few seconds, or it will get tossed?

Resumes are written according to a prescribed structure. There are self-help books you can buy to guide you. Better yet, hire a professional resume writer who is trained and credentialed to promote you at your best.

The final step is to proofread, proofread, proofread. Did I say proofread? Only candidates with flawless resumes get considered for interviews. And isn't interviewing the result you want from your resume?

CV acts as a first point of contact. After viewing the CV only the recruiter has a some idea or picture about the candidate abilities. If the CV is prepared proficiently it markets unique features of the jobseekers in the competitive market & is able convince the recruiter that he/she has to hire you only.
