Resume and Interview Tips
Your resume is the key ingredients in your find-a-job soup. A resume can make or break your chances for an interview, so take steps to make sure your resume is top notch and points out your qualifications for the position. Here are a few resume tips to help you find your dream job.
1. State your objective.
If you dont state an objective a sentence that states what position or role you are looking to fill, quite frankly the potential employer wont know what you want without a clear cut objective. Once you determine your objective, you can tailor you resume based on your skills as they pertain to the companys needs.
2. The employers needs come first.
Remember that you need to cater to the needs of the position, not vice versa. Therefore, your resume should reflect that you have the ability to adapt to what the company is looking for.
3. Find the perfect resume style.
A resume is not a one style fits all document, so make sure you adjust your resume to the style that world make your qualifications stand out the most. Whether it is chronological, functional, or a combination of both, your resume should be suited to its content.
4. Proofread.
Dont rely on a spell checker to correct your resume. The spell checker can determine spelling errors in words it recognizes, but depending solely on it can get your resume thrown away. You dont want to gamble on having a typographical errors or misspelled name, so keep a dictionary nearby and have someone else read over it before you submit it. Two sets of eyes are always better than one.
