Title: 5points Of An Effective Resume


1
5 Points of an Effective Resume
2
Creating a resume sounds simple enough.
3
  • Write what you've done
  • Who you are
  • And why you should be hired for the job.

4
An employer will look at your resume, see that
you are qualified, and hire you.
5
Unfortunately, there's a lot more to writing a
resume than that.
6
Keep in mind most resumes are looked at for 5 -
6 seconds.
7
Here are 5 TIPS to clean up your resume and boost
your chances of getting the job.
8
1. Be Brief
Be succinct and to the point.
9
For example
State that you were a "Hiring Manager"
10
For example
Not that you were a "Vice President of Human
Resources Operations."
11
2. Be Specific
Dont use generic terms to describe your previous
job.
12
For example
Don't write "supervised a department store."
13
Instead, write   "Supervised six employees and
accounted for 1,600,000 worth of inventory on a
daily basis."
14
3. Be Relevant
Emphasize the jobs that most heavily relate to
the one you are applying for.
15
Look at the job description and try to tailor
your key words to the ones in the ad.
16
4. Be Error-Free
Resumes should be perfect, grammatically
speaking.
17
Ask someone to proof-read it for you.
18
5. Be Clean
Don't clutter up your resume make effective use
of whitespace.
19
Keep your resume to one or two pages unless
additional information is requested.
20
Resumes are a game of minutiae so never stop
improving and adjusting yours
21
in order to land the job you deserve.
