Working Wise Dear Working Wise: I read your recent employer job search tips article and I wondered if the employers said anything about resumes? I’m a recruiter and I see a lot of poor quality resumés. Signed Inquisitive Interviewer Dear Inquisitive: The employers at the job-search presentation did touch on resumés briefly. What they said lined up with what I heard at another employer panel discussion that was specifically focused on resumés.
©iStockphoto.com/MonkeyBusinessImages
Do you have a work-related question? Send your questions to Working Wise, at charles.strachey@gov.ab.ca. Charles Strachey is a manager with Alberta Human Services. This column is provided for general information.
Here are some resumé tips straight from employers: • Always put your best foot forward—don’t assume employers will accept a sloppy resumé just because you’re applying for an entry-level job. • Resumés should be typed and two pages or less in length. • Don’t scratch-out errors—update and reprint your resumé. • Use your legal name—not your nickname. • Target you resumé to the job you’re applying for—emphasize your most relevant training, skills and experience. • Include brief highlights of your current/previous positions and key skills that are applicable to the job you are applying for. • Ensure your resumé is free of errors—they can’t call you for an interview if you give them the wrong phone number. • Be sure your e-mail address is professional sounding: late4work@freemail.com does not inspire confidence. • Open a free LinkedIn account and create your free online resumé at www.linkedin.com. • Make it clear what type of position you are applying for or include an objective at the top of your resumé to help the employer understand where you see yourself fitting into their organization. • Don’t e-mail your resumé to 15 employers all in the same e-mail—employers will be able to see that you are broadcasting your resumé to everyone and that you’re not really interested in working for them specifically. • Be prepared for the call back for an interview—try to be flexible and meet the employer when they want to meet. • Include how long you worked at each employer to the month—employers are wary of job hoppers, because training and orienting staff is expensive. If you have jumped around a lot in the past, you might want to explain why in your cover letter. • Retail and restaurant employers receive hundreds of resumés a week. Stand out from the crowd by dressing up and visiting the business in person. Ask to speak to the supervisor or manager and hand them your resumé in person. • Retail and food-service businesses are open long hours and weekends. The fastest way to get an employer’s attention in these kinds of industries is to include in your cover letter or resumé: “Available for all shifts, able to start work quickly / immediately”. For help writing or improving your resumé, check out the Alberta Learning Information Service (ALIS) web site at http://alis.alberta.ca and put their resumé tip sheets and free online resumé review service to work for you. Good luck!
