HOW TO WRITE A RESUME

WHAT IS YOUR PURPOSE?

What is your purpose? It is simply to… Get the interest of the reader and answer the question: Will this candidate add value to my company? What is your purpose?

STEP 1 • Research job postings that interest you. -frequently mentioned job requirements -Ask experienced professionals what they think is most important when hiring. -Read professional articles and websites in your target industry. -Learn as much about the employer as you can (visit their website, see what their values are). -Include “keywords” in your resume.

STEP 2 What to include on your first resume: -Who you are. -How you may be contacted (mail, telephone, email). -Your experiences, skills, and abilities for the position.

STEP 3 Resume Design -20 seconds to make the right impression. Information found at : http://jobsearch.about.com/cs/resumewriting/a/firstresume.html

Categories on Resume Identifying Information: name, address, phone number, and email. Career objective/Profile: seeking an entry level position in the field of nursing. Professional Experience: relevant to the position you are applying for. Achievements: relevant to the position you are applying for. Education: not necessary to include schools in which you did not graduate from. Your References: references are adults—not relatives who can vouch for your honesty, integrity, and responsibility.

Basic Guidelines for an Effective Resume • Type and spell-check it. • Have another person proofread it. • Make it look professional. • Make it short—one page if possible. • Omit personal pronouns (I, me) • Use action verbs when describing your responsibilities.

Characteristics of a Good Resume • Call the reader to ACTION. • What you have to OFFER the company • RELEVANT EXPERIENCE you have and for what length of time you did it. • QUANTIFABLE RESULTS

Characteristics of a Bad Resume • Illegible Font. • List responsibilities. • Illogical order of information. • Includes personal information. -http://www.nelsonjobs.com/CareerCenter/ResumeBad.aspx
