Resume and Interview Tips

How to Write a Resume That Generates Results
By:Patricia M. Walker

Though you may be schooled in how to draft a resume outlining your most valuable of achievements, education, and skills-you may, like most-be still met with rejection, again and again with the resume you are using. While so many people consider their particular career history inferior to other applicants' applying; most often the reason that they do not get an interview, is because they did not create a resume that was powerful. In this article, we give you the most pertinent tips on how to create a resume that generates results: the interview and the job position.

Objective: Key to any resume delivered into the hands of a potential employer is its ability to show in the least amount of time, how your goals mirror that of your potential employers. This is the purpose of an objective. Often people will use either an objective or a career summary to express the same sentiment, with the objective being more terse and to the point-as well as more generalized to a variety of possible positions in your career path. Use this aspect-if you choose it-to say exactly what your short and/or long term goals are in relation to your career.

Career Summary: The career summary section of your resume-if you choose to use this over an objective section-can be very effective in catching the attention of a particular hiring party, if approached in the correct way. In this section, you should be able to list the most clear and demonstrative of career goals, and how your most valuable points of qualifications, education, and experience work towards this.

Use Action Words: If you have ever consulted any resume tutorial or article for the proper drafting of a resume, they all will tell you to use action words. This tutorial is certainly no exception. Action words are verbs that demonstrate the action you took to achieve results in a particular job or position. The more demonstrative the verb, the more powerful the facilitating of the action comes across to the potential employer.

Dress up Your Achievements: While you may consider your achievements and responsibilities in your job history industry standard at best, you need to dress up your achievements to make your resume and qualifications stand out. Consider what aspect or duty performed might have been above and beyond the call of duty for a particular resume inclusion, and maximize its importance with strong action verbs and glowing review.

Add a Skills Section: Though the skills section of a resume sometimes is intimidating, consider adding one as it adds more value to your resume, than someone who does not include one. Even if you have no awards to remark upon, brainstorm upon any invaluable skills that may make you stand out as more valuable to a potential employer-and list them in the special skills section.
