  resume, one that speaks to your personal and

1 Incorporating keywords

• is a crucial part of writing a resume. If you
  don't include applicable keywords throughout, the
  employer or recruiter will never be able to find
  you The number one place to look for keywords is
  by looking through current job descriptions that
  match your target position. If you have a
  position in mind lets say system analyst use all
  the related key words like Help desk support,
  technical writing, incident management, and user
  access management communication skills.
• This helps your resume to come through the
  initial screening process performed by various
  recruitment companies and employer.

2. LinkedIn profiles

• are the best way to connect with employers and
  people in your network or in your same field. I'm
  going to use Monster for this example, and that's
  www.monster.com and I'm going to search for a
  website designer. So I'm a website designer. I'm
  looking for my keywords. So I'm just going to
  type in website designer. You don't want to
  include any other criteria because at this point,
  the location doesn't matter.
• Any reference from your colleague, manager can
  add lot of value to your LinkedIn profile.
• It is easier for employer to pick a genuine
  candidate through LinkedIn

3. Motivated

• one should use positive affirmation like given a
  change I would perform to best of my abilities to
  ensure organisation goals are achieved. This
  makes employer become interested in you.
• Please keep in mind that a manager is looking for
  intent more than capability as later can be built
  over the time but a person with no intent is a
  liability to organisation and team.

• There's a simple technique that you can follow to
  help create a more compelling and effective
  resume. It's called a PAR formula. PAR stands for
  problem-action-result. The PAR formula tells a
  business story. In the case of your resume, you
  can use this formula to tell your success story
  to potential employers. The story that will show
  how you can help them and why you are the perfect
  candidate for the job. All the stories have one
  thing in common, a beginning, middle, and end.
• The PAR formula works the same way. The beginning
  is the problem, the middle is the action, and the
  end is the result.

• . Write down the top 10 employers you would like
  to work for, then focus on one employer at a
  time. After you've decided who you want to
  target, find out as much information as possible.
  
• For example for system analyst role, look at
  companies that employ such skills. Then go
  through the business model and mission of each
  company. Ensure your resume is aligned with the
  needs and mission of company.
• Start sharing your resume through LinkedIn,
  recruiter and also email to Company HR.
• Follow up is must if the job advertised date has
  passed and ask for feedback if you are not
  selected. This will help you improve your shot
  comings. Some employer are open to share
  feedback.
• One the day of interview stay focussed, dont
  read your resume while you are been interviewed.
• Wherein possible try to brief and to the topic.
• One can also consider professional resume writing
  companies if need be.
