How to write a Winning Résumé
When I first went out in the job market to look for work, the most challenging part of the process for me was the starting point. I was certain of my credentials and confident that the interview would not be a problem either. What concerned me was: How do I make the recruiters call me for an interview? With unemployment on the rise, educational institutes churning out graduates at an alarming rate, thus increasing the competition, and the fact that one advertised position by a reputed company sometimes gets thousands of applications; I was stumped. How do I make my application rise to the top of the bundle?
The answer to this question lies in making sure that you make a good résumé, an eye catching résumé, a résumé that demands a recruiter’s attention.
Before I get into the details of the process of writing that winning résumé, I’d like to start off with a description, or call it a definition, of what we are about to embark on.
What most people don’t realize is that a résumé is not just a list of your academic credentials and job experiences; it’s your first and foremost tool that you use to market yourself to potential employers. And we all know that no matter how good the product is, unless it is sold properly, it doesn’t sell. A well written résumé ensures that potential employers and recruiters decide whether you are deemed fit for the job or not. It is what you use as means to make your first impression and as first communication with your future employer.
Tailor it to fit the role
It is always advisable to adjust your résumé according to the job you are applying for. That is to say, by highlighting your experiences, competencies and qualifications related to the job description, so as to make a greater impact on the recruiter.
Keep it up to Date
First thing you should always keep in mind is that your résumé should be comprehensive and always updated. By that, I mean it should have all the relevant details. Don’t just list down everything from top to bottom. Take your time writing it. Maybe even a couple of days. If it starts to feel tiresome, read the third paragraph again and it’ll remind you how important this is. J. So, like I was saying, the trick is to update your résumé on regular basis, at least once every month. That ensures that all the latest detail is present in there; and you never know when a potential employer may ask for it; so it’s best to have it ready at all times, instead of updating it in a hurry and screwing up your chances.
Now let’s sit down in front of the computer and get to work.
Most people format their documents on completion. I suggest we decide on the format beforehand. What font to use, what layout to employ, in short, everything that has to do with the "LOOK" of your résumé. Writing great content without a great presentation won’t get us anywhere.
