Introduction to Resume
A resume is an advertisement of who you are in terms of your competencies, accomplishments, and future capabilities. It is your chief marketing tool or calling card for opening the doors of prospective employers.
From the applicant's perspective, resumes are supposed to help get interviews which, in turn, lead to job offers.
From the employer's perspective, resumes are supposed to communicate value, i.e., what applicants will do for them. In addition, resumes are mechanisms for screening candidates.
Remember, employers are not seeking to hire your history - they want to know your capabilities and competencies.
When writing a resume, always remember that you are advertising yourself for an interview and not for a job. Job offers only come after interviews. An effective resume should make a prospective employer want to meet you in person to discuss your qualifications and possible contributions to solving his or her problems. It should clearly and factually communicate to the employer what it is you can do for them. Above all, it should be honest, positive, concise, easy to read and truly reflect you.
You should write your own resume; you should not imitate or plagiarize someone else's resume and letters. You must begin from your own ground of experience in developing a resume and letters which clearly communicate who you are, what you want to do, and what you are most likely to do in the future for an employer. This takes time, effort, care, and professionalism on your part. No one should do this for you. However, after doing a resume draft, you should get feedback from at least four others. We invite you to make an appointment with one of our professionals for a resume review.
Benefits of building a resume:
- Resumes are integral to the job-search process.
- A specially tailored resume can get your reader's attention, generate interest, and position you above your competition, including those who may be more qualified than you.
- Preparing your resume is a self-assessment process that will sharpen your ability to articulate your value while networking, interviewing, and negotiating offers.
- You' ll get a confidence boost when you see in print all that you've accomplished. Confidence and your sense of worth are important factors in job-search success.
- A good resume can help structure the interview and keep a meandering interviewer focused on your strengths.
Types of resumes:
- Chronological: This type of resume is used most frequently. With this format, you present information in reverse chronological order (most recent first) and give a detailed account of education, work experiences and other relevant skills.
- Functional: This type of resume includes functional skill categories that highlight work experiences and transferable skills. A functional resume may be used if your experience and/or education do not support your professional objective. Many employers are suspicious when reviewing these resumes, as they may be used to hide evident gaps in, or a lack of, work experience.
- Combination: This type of resume includes functional skill categories that highlight work experiences and transferable skills within the reverse chronological listing of work history.
