6 Vital Tips For Resume Writing

You have heard the expression “First impressions are lasting ones.” Well, your resume is the first meeting between you and a prospective employer more often now than ever.

So, how do you want to be remembered?

• Wrinkled and unorganized.
• Neat and structured.
• Long and boring.
• Precise and interesting.

Companies do not have the time to interview every applicant that is interested in the job. If they did, there would not be a company to work for. They use an eliminating process. That’s right – resumes.

So for your convenience I’m going to tell you some tips which will make your resumes a remember-able one for you employers. They will definitely call you for interview.

Below are the tips for you:

1.Avoid writing long and boring resumes

Always keep this in mind that employers are very busy. They don’t have time to read lengthy resumes, so always write short and interesting ones. Consider that employer will spend hardly 30 sec on your resume. Keeping it in mind, write your resumes.

2.Don’t ever make spelling mistakes

Always proofread your resumes for 3-4 times to ensure that it has no spelling and grammar mistakes.

3.Start your resume with a Power Statement

Many resume writers suggest an objective. My suggestion is that you start your resume with a power statement such as: “Award-winning, highly accomplished Operations Manager with successful track records of consistently increasing revenue and slashing operating costs.”
Whereas the objective tells the employer only what you want to do, the power statement goes further in highlighting not only the job you are seeking but also your major achievements. The power statement also showcases what you can do for the company.

4.Use Action Verbs

Begin your sentences with action verbs for added punch and to express a sense of accomplishment.

5.Use specifics

Use specifics such as numbers, percentages, figures and facts.

Example: “Exceeded sales quotas by 50% for 4 consecutive years.”

Numbers stand out and communicate clearly and openly about not only the results you produced by also about what you can do for the company (can’t repeat that enough.)

6. Answer the Question “what’s special in you?”

Always write down your special and unique qualities to attract the employer that he/she will definitely call you.
