Tips and advice
Part-II
on How to Write a Great Resume Make your own resume more compelling -- by selling your strengths to employers! The goal of your resume is to make an employer want to interview you. It's a powerful marketing tool that promotes who you are, what you want to do, and the value you will bring to an organization. Your resume should be a results oriented, concise document that summarizes your accomplishments for a particular position. To be effective, it must target a specific job and grab the reader's attention with strong selling points on why your skills and background "fit" the position you are seeking. Its main task is to secure an interview, not a job. Resumes must perform their function quickly to escape the circular file. The fate of your resume is often decided in as little as 5 to 12 seconds. Up to 95% of the hundreds of resumes employers receive for a single job opening don't survive the initial cut. They get rejected or screened out to reduce the number down to a manageable level. The smallest mistake - missing skills, careless spelling, disorganized content, formatting errors - may be cause to disqualify you. Most job seekers fail to demonstrate the value they will contribute to an employer. Potential employers are looking for people who have clear ideas about themselves and what they do best. Employers want to know: What value do you represent to me? What specifically makes up this value? You need to prove, with evidence, that you have provided value in the past that is consistent with the value you will provide your new employer in the future.

Employers look for compelling evidence that candidates have the skills their vacancy or upcoming position requires. Employers are most interested in finding out what you can do for them. To ensure your resume is given the attention it deserves, you must keep in mind the needs of the person who will be reading it. Employers Need to Know
You You You You
can do the job have a positive work attitude are interested in doing the work are a good fit within the company's culture and environment
Your past and present work experiences will be crucial to convincing the employer that you have what they need. The emphasis should be placed on the skills you have acquired that an employer would want. While employers generally don't make a decision to hire on the basis of a resume alone, they often use a poorly prepared or presented resume as a basis to reject an applicant without granting an interview. Employers regard your resume and cover letter as your best work and indicative of how you'll perform on the job in terms of work ethic, attitude, and willingness to succeed. The goal for job seekers then, is to prepare unique resume documents that will distinguish them from the competition and make an effective presentation of their value to an organization. The 4 Keys to Resume Writing Success
Packaging - The appearance, design and layout Performance - The compelling evidence matching your skills to the opening Positioning - The organized flow of information Punch - The content must answer the question: Why should we interview you?

Resume Writing Tips A good resume is the one that is tailor-made to a specific job or career field, one that fits your specific background, your unique contributions and your personal and professional goals. As you begin to write your resume, work on the content and composition, then decide on a format that highlights your strengths and career goals. Expect to go through several drafts in this process. The language used to describe your background is also important. Since space is limited, choose active, positive language with short, direct, succinct phrases. Using terminology familiar to employers indicates an understanding of the field while also highlighting your abilities. You must personalize your resume in order to present your qualifications. This will convey your "uniqueness" to an employer. Since your goal is to stimulate a prospective employer's interest in you, you want your resume to reflect your personality, your strengths, and your skills. As an employer scans your resume you want him or her to become interested in what you can do for the organization. What you choose to include in your resume should paint a dynamic picture of yourself. It will often lead an interviewer's questions, so be ready to talk about, expand on, and articulate clearly, everything in your resume. Bring your resume up-to-date by adding your most recent position and accomplishments. Show how you identified and solved problems, followed by the results you have achieved. Just as important, revise your resume to include keywords so that it can be scanned. Don't string keywords together in a paragraph at the end of your resume so every word that applies to your career will be found. Rather, work keywords into the body of your resume. Some resumes are still screened first by people who won't understand why there is a paragraph of seemingly unrelated words at the bottom of a page.
