As the job markets are warming up, you must be thinking about a positive change in your work profile, and of course, pay check.
But before you send your old or maybe slightly updated resume to prospective employers, read the following pointers, which would certainly make your profile interesting and crisp:
10 Points For Making an Outstanding and Impressive Resume:
- Brevity – Make sure your resume entails only your achievements and may be a couple of lines explaining your profile. Employers know the deliverable against given designations – then why waste precious space restating the known?
- Clarity – Seems obvious, but do we actually adhere to the clarity norms while drafting the resume? In most cases, no. In an attempt to write many more achievements, we tend to clutter the resume. By rule, leave some white space on the resume (in form of margins).
- Achievements – A good CV / resume should highlight your achievements in the present as well as previous roles. The resume writing should be such that it reflects major achievements, preferably quantifiable ones.
- Simplify – Most experts would stress on the simplicity of a resume. At Decision Tree, we believe that a resume is only effective if it is understood by the recruiters.
- Bullets – Use bullets to sort roles and achievements.
- Interests – Don’t shy away from revealing your personal attributes in a resume. Mention your interests and leisure activities, however, restrain from revealing your couch potato antics.
- Education – Your educational details should include the name of your institution /University as well as the year of passing out. Write your High School / Intermediate details only if you are a student or a fresher.
- Company Description – Save the recruiter a google search to ascertain the size and nature of the company you are / were engaged with.
- Photograph – Putting your photograph on the resume is a matter of choice. However, there is a school of thought that believes a photograph may trigger the ‘Halo’ effect, which may /may not work in your favour.
- Summary – A crisp all-inclusive ‘summary’ is what a good CV requires. Professional resume writers spend hours drafting the right kind of summary to position you as a promising brand.
