Résumés
Your résumé is your most important calling
card in your job search. It should include the following information:
- Contact information. Include phone, mail and e-mail contact
information. Your voicemail message should be professional. A message
that is too casual can create a negative impression.
- Career objective. You can choose to list or not list your career
objective. If your objective doesn't match the recruiter's needs, you
may miss out on a golden opportunity. However, a clearly stated career
objective can help your recruiter find your ideal career match.
- Summary statement. Your summary should be brief.
First, include your title and years of experience.
Second, list pertinent skills.
Third, discuss your character traits or work style.
Example: "Account Manager with over 7 years of experience with two major software sales companies. Successful track record selling ERP and big ticket software applications to "C" level executives. Track record of consistent overachievement; exceeded target in last full quota year. High energy and drive. Willing to travel 75% domestically."
- Professional experience. List each position held in reverse
chronological order, dating back at least ten years. If you held multiple
positions within the same company, list them all to show advancement
and growth. The body of each position description should describe your
responsibilities and accomplishments.
- Other components. Include education, professional training,
affiliations/appointments, licenses, technical skills and languages.
- Personal information. Do not include personal information such
as marital status.
