| Part of the Resume: |
| You must know that your resume is the entry for your
career. So it is very very important that how you present your resume. A
normal resume has its own structure or template.. moreover its a
formula. |
| |
| Heading: Be sure to place your name, your
current address, and your current phone number at the top of the page.
Make it easy for an employer to reach you. Note: If you are away from
home much of the time, you might want to list an alternate number.
Remember: if you move, change your name, or change your phone number;
change it on your resume. |
| |
| Objectives: It is wise to have an objective.
The employer needs to know what position you are seeking. You do not
need to explain your long-term objective; he is only interested (as far
as the resume is concerned) in what you want to do at the present.
Objectives should be short and to the point. |
| |
|
| |
| What you have to "Do" I am looking for a
position of responsibility in the printing industry, utilizing training
and “hands-on” experience in photo typesetting and camera-ready layout. |
| |
| What you "Don't Do" A management or supervisory
position where the ability to conceptualize and follow through on new
or existing programs is needed, as well as a position with growth and
upward mobility that would utilize maximum potential. This is too
general or flowery. (What does this person really want to do?) |
| |
| Work Experience: |
| When describing what you did on previous jobs, use
action words (like Accepted ,Accomplished, Accounted for, Achieved,
Acquired, Acted, Adapted, Addressed, Adjusted, Administered, Advised,
Advocated, Allocated, Analyzed, Applied, Appointed, Appraised, Approved,
Arbitrated, etc.). Describe job duties and skills - not just job title.
If you have done something in a previous job that relates in any way to
your objective, be sure to include this. Point out your strongest
experience first. Be sure to mention any jobs where you can say that you
made specific “accomplishments” in your position. |
| |
| If you have had little work experience in your field,
but do have the training for this kind of position, put down Education
first. If you have work experience in this field, but so far, little
training, put Work Experience first. |
| |
| Education: Under education, do not just state
that you have graduated from Madras Presidency College in your
technology. List some courses you have taken that will show the employer
that you have knowledge about this field. If applicable to your
technology, list machines you can use, skills you have acquired,
languages you have studied. Be sure to list any other training (other
than-Madras Presidency College) that you may also have had in this
field. |
| |
| Salary: Do not mention salary - either from previous employment or from expectations for your new position. |
| |
| Volunteer: Remember to include volunteer work
in the general area of your field. Extensive hobby work in your area can
also build up your credibility. Be sure to include co-ops, internships,
or field experiences. Experience is experience, paid or not. |
| |
| Personal: Listing your personal information
such as birth date, marital status, etc., is sometimes beneficial,
sometimes not. This is definitely a personal preference. However, for
most positions, no one will care about the color of your hair, your
eyes, etc. |
| |
| References: It is generally acceptable to
simply put “References available upon request”. If you list names, etc.,
some of your references may move, quit jobs, etc., and you will have to
do the resume all over again. An alternative to listing references on
the resume is to have them on a separate sheet of paper, and take this
sheet to your interview. |
