Convincing your employer that you’re the right person to be interviewed for a particular job may take a lot of expert tweaking of your Curriculum Vitae (CV) or Resume. Here are some tips to improve your Resume and increase your chances of landing a slot at an interview for a job.
Rule # 1: Organize your Resume Properly
One of the most important things to consider when composing your Resume is that some interviewers prefer to know more about your work history rather than your family background. Some companies even emphasize that you write down only all your work experience and previous-employment details and just leave your personal information on separate pages. Having proper order for your Resume can save you a lot of hassles and might help you land a job. Although there’s no sure-fire way of knowing what information your interviewers would prefer, a good trick would be to organize the more important details and emphasize them at different sections of your Resume. Which brings us to rule number 2.
Rule # 2: Keep it Short and Simple
When writing your Resume always make it a point to recognize the key information about yourself or your work experience that should be emphasized. As much as possible add only the essential parts of your work experience or personal information that can add merit to your application. Don’t make the mistake of writing down unnecessary details about being a team captain on a basketball team when you’re applying for a secretarial job at a local lending company. Although you’re interviewers might love knowing about your sports inclinations, they certainly don’t want to dig through all the unnecessary details on your Resume before they could reach the useful details about yourself that can give credit to your application. And given the fact that they will be interviewing or reading dozens or hundreds of resume per position, they might just get annoyed reading your Resume.
So the second rule in writing your Resume is to include and emphasize the right information that can give credit to your application, and steer away from making a 2-page resume into a 10-page review about yourself.
Rule # 3: Tweak and Relate
Before you write or even modify your Resume, you would have had the chance of knowing important details about the work you are applying for. If you are aware of the job requirements, then you would have a good chance of being able to write a more convincing Resume. Always make it a point to tweak or edit your Resume according to the job you are applying for. Personalizing your Resume will save you a lot of paper-space and might even help attract the attention of your interviewers, when they see the things that they are looking for on your Resume. Supplying only the crucial details on your Resume can improve your chances of getting interviewed, and landing the job.
Remembering these rules will greatly help you improve your Resume, and will probably help you get that job you’ve been aiming for.
