If you are writing a resume for the first time and don't know where to start, don't get discourage. Writing a resume is super easy once you follow some simple steps. I'm not going to bore you with a long and drawn out explanation in how to write a resume but instead I want to teach you how to use the K.I.S.S. approach.
Keep It Simple Silly!
When I was a corporate recruiter, I came across hundreds of resumes in many different styles and formats. They varied from complicated to easy to read. Below I will share with you 7 steps you will need to follow to write a resume.
1. Choose a format for your resume. I recommend that you keep your format very simple so that it can be an easy read for the reader.
2. Enter your contact information- This should include your Name, Address, Telephone (Cell/Home) and your Email address.
3. Objective Statement (Optional) - An objective is located at the top of your resume under your contact information. It states your career plan in relation to what your employer is looking for (Ex. Seeking a full-time position with a company that has stability, growth, and ongoing learning opportunities that will allow me to fully utilize my business, communication, organizational, and problem solving skills). You should tailor your objective according to each job if needed.
4. Qualifications (Optional) - Here you can list any qualifications you have that you want known (Ex. Excellent written and verbal skills, Proactive starter etc.
5. Education - Include any relevant education you have such as degrees, certificates, professional training etc. Also include the school or university you attended.
6. Professional Experience - Here is the meat of your resume. This section is where you list all of your relevant work experience. Be sure to indent after each descriptive line with a dash. Be sure to tailor your resume according to the job description provided. Only include the information if you have experience doing the task. Be sure to leave nothing out and be as descriptive and detailed as possible.
7. Additional Info (Optional) - include an additional info that you think might be helpful for your chances in getting the job. Anything skills you feel worth mentioning mention.
After you follow these steps, read through your resume to make sure there are no grammatical errors or mistakes. Make sure your resume is an easy read and it flows well. The last thing you want is for a recruiter or employer to hop around your resume for information.
