Resume Writing Tips |
1. Decide your career focus area and the objective of the job search :- Structure
the content of the CV based on the objective. Take time before you start your resume
to list down key points (skills, projects, experience).
2. Your CV is your brand building tool :- Highlight your key skills and domain
expertise. Talk about your USP and how you could add value to the organization that
is recruiting you.
3. Use your CV to get an interview call :- The purpose of a CV is to generate
enough interest in you to have a prospective employer contact you for an interview.
Don�t fill the CV with too much detail. Leave things to be discussed during the
course of the interview.
4. Use bullet points to convey information :- When you list down your achievements
in points, it makes reading easy. You can also use facts & figures that may reflect
on your efficiency at work. For e.g., increased the sales by 10% over two months.
5. Customize the CV to the job opening you are applying for :- Analyze and
evaluate the job. Try to customize your CV to ensure that it highlights your skills
and experience required for that particular job opening.
6. Provide references :- Give the contact details of people who have referred
you. Also, ensure that the people whose reference you give know you well enough
to highlight your skills and strengths.
7. Presentation :- Don�t clutter the CV. Leave a lot of white spaces between
sections and sentences. Use a font size no smaller than 10 point and restrict the
resume to max 2 pages. Since the reviewer will scan through your CV, ensure that
he gets the gist easily.
8. Get your CV reviewed :- Ask someone to review your CV to get an unbiased
opinion. Feedback helps you improvise your CV.
