Dos And Donts Of Resume Writing
2
Overview

• Resume is the first thing that catches the
  attention of the hiring manager.
• When writing yours, it's critical to understand
  what an employer is searching for. You'll have a
  better chance of getting an interview if you
  present your talents and expertise in a way that
  illustrates how your career coincides with what
  they're looking for.
• Want to impress that hiring manager? Whether
  you're writing a resume from scratch or updating
  an old one, follow these dos and don'ts to make
  yours sparkle.

Dos

• Customize your resume every time.
  Tailor the document for each position you apply
  for by highlighting your qualifications and
  expertise that match the specific job
  requirements. Employers before conducting job
  interviews or mock interviews often use screening
  software that scans documents for particular
  keywords, so follow the job listing's lead on
  phrasing.
• Your accomplishments should be highlighted. Give
  specific instances of how the projects you worked
  on impacted the company's bottom line when
  describing your previous employment. Did they
  boost revenue, expand their consumer base, or
  reach out to new markets? Did your firm give you
  extra responsibilities once you proved yourself
  in your current position?

Dos

• Make a list of your successes. Include a list of
  any outstanding honours or distinctions you've
  received. It's also a good idea to include your
  involvement in relevant professional groups, as
  well as any conferences or seminars where you've
  presented.
• Proofread, proofread, and proofread some more.
  Misspellings and grammatical errors indicate to
  the hiring manager that you are not
  detail-oriented. Request that a few reliable
  friends or colleagues review your resume.Fresh
  eyes are always more likely to catch errors.

Dos

• Please keep it up to date. Update your CV
  whenever you take a new job or complete a key
  project, even if you aren't looking for work. It
  will appear less of a hassle if you keep your job
  application documents updated on a regular basis.

Donts

• Falsify information about your education or work
  history. Termination can be justified based on a
  single fabrication. In all of your job
  application materials, remain truthful.
• Provide justifications for each job departure.
  Some employers may inquire about your reasons for
  leaving your present employment during an
  interview or interview practice, and while you
  should be prepared to discuss them, you do not
  need to include such information in your resume.
• Don't make it too personal. In your resume, don't
  include personal information like your photo,
  height, Social Security number, marital status,
  or religious affiliation. You don't want to
  expose yourself to the recruiting manager's
  conscious and unconscious bias.

Donts

• Don't be concerned about using specific dates. To
  say the least, it's tough to recall the precise
  day you started a job 15 years ago. It's
  perfectly acceptable to use the month and year
  you started and left each position.
• Experiment using an unconventional format.
  Maintain a simple, easy-to-read format.
  Recruiters are more interested in your experience
  than in odd fonts, colours, or designs.
• Use the phone number or email address for your
  company. Even if your current supervisor is aware
  of your intention to leave, it's always advisable
  to use your personal email address and phone
  number rather than your official contact details.

8
Donts

• Include your college GPA. The only exception to
  this is if you're still in college or have just
  graduated, or if the job posting asks you to
  include that information. 
• Include your cumulative grade point average from
  college. Only if you're currently in college or
  have recently graduated, or if the job
  advertisement specifically requests it, will you
  be exempt from this rule.
