Do’s And Don’ts Of Resume Writing

1. Do’s And Don’ts Of Resume Writing

2. Overview • Resume is the first thing that catches the attention of the hiring manager. • When writing yours, it's critical to understand what an employer is searching for. You'll have a better chance of getting an interview if you present your talents and expertise in a way that illustrates how your career coincides with what they're looking for. • Want to impress that hiring manager? Whether you're writing a resume from scratch or updating an old one, follow these do’s and don'ts to make yours sparkle.

3. Do’s • Customize your resume every time. Tailor the document for each position you apply for by highlighting your qualifications and expertise that match the specific job requirements. Employers before conducting job interviews or mock interviews often use screening software that scans documents for particular keywords, so follow the job listing's lead on phrasing. • Your accomplishments should be highlighted. Give specific instances of how the projects you worked on impacted the company's bottom line when describing your previous employment. Did they boost revenue, expand their consumer base, or reach out to new markets? Did your firm give you extra responsibilities once you proved yourself in your current position?

4. Do’s • Make a list of your successes. Include a list of any outstanding honours or distinctions you've received. It's also a good idea to include your involvement in relevant professional groups, as well as any conferences or seminars where you've presented. • Proofread, proofread, and proofread some more. Misspellings and grammatical errors indicate to the hiring manager that you are not detail-oriented. Request that a few reliable friends or colleagues review your resume.Fresh eyes are always more likely to catch errors.

5. Do’s • Please keep it up to date. Update your CV whenever you take a new job or complete a key project, even if you aren't looking for work. It will appear less of a hassle if you keep your job application documents updated on a regular basis.

6. Don’ts • Falsify information about your education or work history. Termination can be justified based on a single fabrication. In all of your job application materials, remain truthful. • Provide justifications for each job departure. Some employers may inquire about your reasons for leaving your present employment during an interview or interview practice, and while you should be prepared to discuss them, you do not need to include such information in your resume. • Don't make it too personal. In your resume, don't include personal information like your photo, height, Social Security number, marital status, or religious affiliation. You don't want to expose yourself to the recruiting manager's conscious and unconscious bias.

7. Don’ts • Don't be concerned about using specific dates. To say the least, it's tough to recall the precise day you started a job 15 years ago. It's perfectly acceptable to use the month and year you started and left each position. • Experiment using an unconventional format. Maintain a simple, easy-to-read format. Recruiters are more interested in your experience than in odd fonts, colours, or designs. • Use the phone number or email address for your company. Even if your current supervisor is aware of your intention to leave, it's always advisable to use your personal email address and phone number rather than your official contact details.

8. Don’ts • Include your college GPA. The only exception to this is if you're still in college or have just graduated, or if the job posting asks you to include that information.  • Include your cumulative grade point average from college. Only if you're currently in college or have recently graduated, or if the job advertisement specifically requests it, will you be exempt from this rule.
