Resume and Interview Tips

Want Help Writing Your Resume? 6 Tips To Catapult You To Success
By:David Raybould

Do you need help writing your resume? If so you have come to the right place. Writing your resume can be one of the most important parts of the whole job hunting process, and hopefully with these tips you will soon be developing your own super successful resume!

Write a new resume for each job-
This can be a real help. Writing your resume for use with every job application can often seem like the easiest approach, and it is, effort wise-unfortunately it wont be the most successful approach! If you instead re-write your resume for every application, you will be making sure you are offering every employer exactly what they are looking for! This is always good.

Make your resume easy to read-
Many people dont seem to take the employer/recruiter into account when writing a resume. This is a big mistake. Think of the reader-it needs to be interesting to them, because you want them to keep reading. Think of it as a novel or a story-this can really help when writing your resume.

Write with your new employer in mind-
Try to visualize what they are looking for in an employee, and make yourself fit those criteria by what you say in your resume. This is another thing that can really help when writing your resume.

Focus on prior achievements-
Instead of telling them that your current job has certain responsibilities and requirements, let them know exactly what you have achieved there. Achievements outweigh responsibilities because every job has responsibilities, but not every potential employee has achievements.

Be different-
Gaining that initial foot in the door from the resume and moving onto interview is more about being eye catching than it is having excellent qualifications or experience. Anything you can do to make yourself stand out (within reason) can only be a good thing. Try to use different words than you imagine other candidates will use. Tiny changes like that can really help. Writing your resume is about trying to stand out!

Mention things from the given job description-
When writing a resume for a particular job vacancy, try to go over the job specification offered and link it to your own skills and abilities in the resume. If you can go one stage further and offer proof that you meet the particular criteria, you will be singling yourself out as a very strong candidate!

As youve seen, writing a successful resume need not be as tough as you might have thought. Hopefully my tips will help you writing your resume!
