The Art of Resume Writing

• Resume writing is an art

• Resume writing is no longer about your degrees and qualifications; the resume should project the real you on paper in your absence.

• Remember that your resume is a ticket to a new job. It can make or break your career.

• Tailor your resume to suit the nature of the job you are looking for.

• Avoid unnecessary details about your other qualifications that are not relevant/required for the job.

• Give crisp information about the type of job you are seeking and your job experience.
  

Basic rules of resume writing

• Brief and informative

• Condense it into a one-page résumé

• If a resume stretches to 2 or 3 pages, your experiences and achievements would get ignored

• A one page resume is the best for face to face interview

• Maintain uniformity in the use of capital letters, italics, bullets and underline.

• Focus on all your strengths with the correct usage of grammar and syntax of language.

• Do not miss out on a good job opportunity by confusing your prospective employer. Before writing your resume, be sure about the career path you wish to follow and design it accordingly. 

• Focus on your job history in your resume. Do not provide a historical account of your past

• Write your resume with real enthusiasm. Your resume reflects your state of mind to the employer.

• Incorporate something new in your resume to make it stand out in a pile of resume

• A well-written resume attracts the employer’s attention
