1. What IS a resume anyway?
Remember: a Resume is a marketing piece that presents you in the best
possible light, for the purpose of getting invited to a job interview.
It's not an official personnel do***ent. It's not a job application. It's
not a "career obituary"! And it's not a confessional.
2. What's a resume about?
It's not just about past jobs! It's about YOU, and how you performed and
what you accomplished in those past jobs-especially the accomplishments
that are relevant to the work you want to do next. A good resume predicts
how you might perform in that desired future job.
3. What's the fastest way to improve a resume?
Remove everything that starts with "responsibilities included" and replace
that with on-the-job accomplishments. (See Tip 11 for one
way to write them.)
4. What is the commonest mistake made by resume writers?
Leaving out their Job Objective! If you don't show a sense of direction,
employers won't be interested. Having a clearly stated goal doesn't have
to confine you if it's stated well.
5. What's the first step in writing a resume?
Decide on a job target (or "job objective") that can be stated in about 5
or 6 words. Anything beyond that is probably "fluff" and indicates a lack
of clarity and direction.
