Creating And Building Professional Resume Formats.

 

It is highly recommended to have an up-to-date resume (CV) available at all times.  A professional well written resume provides a detailed overview of your training, employment and personal details.

A resume is a document which summarises the skills, knowledge, employment and attributes possessed at a given point in time. It is often the first insight a potential employer has into a client’s personality and capabilities. It is therefore in a client’s best interest to invest the time and effort in preparing a resume. It is worth remembering that each position applied for will require different expertise and each resume variation should address the targeted position.

Building an effective resume can mean the difference between getting a job and not getting a job.  You will need to have a resume that is professional and one that will accurately reflect you, your job abilities, and your experience.

A professional resume also allows you to present all your good points and ‘claims to fame’ without sounding like you are boasting.  List other interesting information about yourself such as study, sports and involvement in social activities that you may not otherwise have an opportunity to present to the employer.

A resume is primarily a marketing tool. It is a promotional document that allows the employer to match client’s skills and knowledge with their particular requirements. As in any marketing document, it needs to emphasise positive attributes.

Secondary advantages of creating a resume are:

  • It forces you to reflect, think about, record and construct a history of your working career.

  • It helps you to think about all the skills and talents you possess and your previous experiences and jobs.

  • It easier to document the details in letters or to mention over the telephone or at an interview.
