The best way to write a resume is to understand for which post you are applying for and identify the job requirement in relation to the job vacancy. Then start with your self introduction followed by experience, qualifications, additional qualifications, area of interest, any extra curricular activities etc. First and foremost you must provide an attractive design or template to the Resume and present a catching overall summary of the resume as the recruitment team first see the overall summary only. You should not forget that providing reference is a must to authenticate your resume which the recruitment team values a lot. The experience order shall be from the latest to the last, ie. you should add the current employment status at the first and then followed by the past experiences. It will be really wonderful if you mentions the job responsibilites handled during each working time which shall help the recruitment team to assess your profile easily and it can also improve the chance of getting the job. As like experience you must also start putting the highest qualification at the top and followed by other qualifications. Your resume get selected only when you add more about your work and training related informations as all the companies see who is more eligible for the post.
You always remember that a small atrractive resume will always help you to
present yourself infront of the interview panel. You should always understand
that the interviewer will ask you first whatever you have mentioned in the
resume. Therefore, you should remember to mention only whatever things you have
otherwise your interview may collapse with a question. Also be precise in
preparing the resume because resume is the first face of you infront of the any
hiring aspirants.
Avoid maximum mistakes from the resume. You should double check the spelling,
names, phone numbers, addresses etc. because your resume shall get rejected if
you make mistakes. Also you should keep in mind that you are the owner of your
resume and you are writing your skills and qualificiations in a paper.
Therefore, you are presenting yourself in paper and the person reading the
resume shall not be ambigious in any matter pertaining to qualifications, job
responsibilites, experiences etc.
When you mention hobbies in the resume dont copy paste from others. Only
mention what actually your hobbies are. Because when you are infront of an
interview panel they may ask you perform or tell something about your hobbies.
Suppose if you have mentioned singing is your hobby they may ask you to sing
infront of the panel or they will ask who is your favorite singer, why, what
etc. To avoid this situation mention only what you have.
You should also mention your language proficiency in the resume. You should
mention all languages whether you are not fluent in speaking. You must be
skilled in reading a language or writing a langugae. In that case you shall
mention I can read the but not write. Providing the maximum information will
add more chance to get hired.
Also when you give reference check in the resume make sure that you give the
reference of people who are confident enough because your references may be
checked after you get hired. If you provide refence of wrong people they may
not give good feedback about you. Therefore, you must ensure that you provide
reference of people who can be reliable. Also you should make sure to provide
official numbers or email ids only. Because by the time you are hired in a
company the person incharge of you may get changed from your previous company.
And there may be miscommunication regarding your job details. Therefore, it
should be ensured that you provide the official numbers and email ids only.
Last and foremost you should think in your mind that you are
presenting yourself not anybody else. Therefore provide only your information
that are right and true. Otherwise you may bluff the people who are reading
your resume.
