Tips and tricks for a clean resume
A resume is a document that contains a summary of your qualifications, work history, and education. It is a marketing sheet for you to entice a potential employer to take a closer look at your resume.
There are many different types of resumes, such as chronological, functional, combination, and targeted resumes. These different types of resumes may have specific rules for format, content, and length. If you are unsure of which resume type to use, it is best to consult with a professional career coach or resume writer.
To make your resume stand out, you should include keywords from the job posting in your resume. For example, if you are applying to a job that requires the use of the keywords “account management”, you should include these keywords in your resume.
A resume should be designed for the job that you are applying for. For example, if you are applying for a job that requires the use of Microsoft Office, your resume should contain an itemized list of your relevant Microsoft Office skills.
To summarize your work experience, you should use a bulleted list. Each bullet point should have an action verb and a date. For example, if you were a manager, you could have a bullet point that says “Managed 10 employees from August 2012 to December 2013”.
To summarize your education, you should use a bulleted list. Each bullet point should have an action verb and a date. For example, if you attended college for two years, you could have a bullet point that says “Attended De Anza College from Fall 2012 to Spring 2014”.
The body of your resume should be written in a conversational tone. Your resume should be written in the first person (I, me, my).
If you include an objective statement, it should be at the top of your resume. Resumes that do not have an objective statement are preferred.
The most important piece of information that you should include on your resume is your contact information. This includes your name, address, telephone number, email address, and website.
List your work history in chronological order or reverse chronological order (most recent job first).
You should include a section called “other skills” on your resume. This section should list any skills that are not related to the job that you are applying for, but are related to the position that you would like in the future.
If you have a profile on LinkedIn, you can paste your LinkedIn profile into your resume.
You should include a summary section at the top of your resume. A summary section is a short statement that describes your work history and/or education.
