Resume
Resume- (commonly known as curriculum vitae) is by definition, a short description or a
document that narrates the summary of your personal, educational, and professional background. In psychological terms it is a small reflection of your past and your overall personality.

Key Purpose of Resume The key purpose of any resume is to grab the attention of an employer and to obtain an interview. There are hundreds and thousand of people applying for various different job positions. Among this whole bunch of candidates there may be many who will apply for the same job in the same company and management people don't have time to meet everyone face to face and evaluate their skills and talents. This is the reason why resumes became effective so that management can scan the resumes of candidates and select appropriate ones for a face-to-face interview.

Tips in Making a Resume

Short yet detailed- Do not overwrite your resume, or make bio-data as pattern. Make it professional looking by writing it in a clean. Your resume should contain short but with important details like:
o

Experiences- write your present job (if any) or list your experiences to most current to the most previous. Dont forget to write your position, name of the company and date of employment.

Educational background-Make it chronological as well, starts from tertiary to primary. Personal Information- Do not focus much on your personal information, just write the basic information needed. Spare from writing secondary information like religion, fathers name, mothers name etc.

Career Objective- Write a very effective, two liner objective that you want to obtain in joining the company. Character references- Write 2-3 character references only. Make sure that these persons know you very well, maybe your college professor or former superior.

Choose formal font style and size- Font style and size is also very important. Do not use fonts that are too small or big or fonts style that is very complicated to read. Times New Roman, Verdana or Century Gothic are one of the most common formal style used, font size should be ranging from 10-12 only. Also, avoid using too much boldfaces, Highlighted those important titles only.

Scan your photo (The photo should be 1 size) - Scan your photo with the resume. Do not staple an ID picture on the resume because it looks clumsy. Make sure that you attached the most pleasing picture that you have.

Write an effective career objective- The career objective that you will write should be powerful enough to make the interviewer wants to hire you.

Observe your grammar and sentence- Observed the grammar of the titles, headers and sentence that you write. Use words that are formal yet understandable.

Parts of Resume

Part 1 - PERSONAL INFORMATION What you should write down at this first part of your resume include your full name, mailing address, telephone number, email address exactly like what you read on this sample. Some employers may require marital status, number of children, sex, age, those specific requirement depends on various cultures and employment policy.

Example: ANN J. EXAMPLE 3 Any Road, Any Town, Manchester, AN1 1CV Telephone: 0111 899 2255 Mobile: 07777 111 222 Fax: 0111 805 3599 Email: marydoe12@aol.com

Part 2 - CAREER OBJECTIVE (Resume Objective) A brief and clear career objective certainly presents the idea of your future career prospect. Probably, you could write down what you want to be in 5 years time, or at least tell the hiring manager what you expect from him in terms of preferable working area, work environment, scope of desired organization. This would help the resume screening process become easier.

Example: "Like to obtain the position as a Key Account Manager where my skills and my knowledge can be utilized and developed. I will do my best to become a professional Key Account Manager whose skills will be most beneficial in meeting the need of the organization"

Part 3 - EDUCATION BACKGROUND Tell the employer about your academic background. On this sample, you could see details such as University name, year period, degree.

Example: 1997 2000: The National University HCMC College of Social Sciences & Humanities Graduated Majoring in English literature, composition and communication 1995 2001: Metropolitan Business College Australia Graduated Majoring in marketing, accounting and administration

Part 4 - PROFESSIONAL SHORT TERM TRAINING COURSE Enhance your resume effectiveness by writing down all professional credentials, certificates you achieved, courses attended, timing. These courses are normally 2 or 3 days professional training courses. Many job applicants fail to include this part in to their resume when they apply for a job.

Example: Completed the Customer Service and Sales Management course organised by Swinburn University of Technology in 2000 Completed the training course on Management skills conducted by Price Waterhouse Cooper in 2001. Completed the presentation skill training course conducted by the British Council in 2002.

Part 5 - WORK EXPERIENCE This is a sample of an executive resume, writing in chronological order which cover the followings: Period timing (year, month), company name, company industry, a brief description of previous company activities, products or service, job title (sales manager, marketing manager, secretary, administration manager). Reporting line (direct supervisor, number of subordinates), your key responsibilities. Professional resumes impress hiring manager with previous work achievements,show facts and figures, start each bullet point with an "action word". Don't miss to briefly state the reason you left the previous company.

Example:
1989-Present Redmond Computer, Inc. Airway Heights, Washington Administrative Assistant to the Chief Executive Officer

Coordinated the daily activities for the Chairman of the Board. Managed the administrative function for CEO. Managed in the preparation of Directors meeting, recorded and disseminated the minutes of management meeting.

1982-86 Jasmine, Rain, Inc., Auburm, Washington Administrative Assistant to the Chief Operating Officer

Handled customer and employees on behalf of COO. Recorded and disseminated the minutes of Management Committee. Prepared, maintained and distributed reports of departments.

Part 6 - RESUME REFERENCE What others would say about your performance. Professional recruiters may need some crosscheck with your previous employers, friends or co-workers. Write name of the person who could give reference and comments about you, contact phone number of that person on the last part of your professional resume. An experience executive provides names of at least 3 person.

Types of Resume

Chronological Resume A chronological resume starts by listing your work history, with the most recent position listed first. Your jobs are listed in reverse chronological order with your current or most recent job, first. Employers typically prefer this type of resume because it's easy to see what jobs you have held and when you have worked at them. This type of resume works well for job seekers with a strong, solid work history. The chronological resume is the more traditional structure for a resume. The experience section is the focus of the resume; each job (or the last several jobs) is described in some detail, and there is no major section of skills or accomplishments at the beginning of the resume. This structure is primarily used when you are staying in the same profession, in the same type of work. It is recommended that the chronological resume always have an "objective" or "summary," to focus the reader. The advantages: may appeal to older, more traditional readers and be best in very conservative fields. Makes it easier to understand what you did in what job. Help the name of the employer stand out more, if this is impressive. The disadvantage is that it is much more difficult to highlight what you do best. This format is rarely appropriate for someone making a career change.

Functional Resume A functional resume focuses on your skills and experience, rather than on your chronological work history. It is used most often by people who are changing careers or who have gaps in their employment history.

The functional resume highlights your major skills and accomplishments from the very beginning. It helps the reader see clearly what you can do for them, rather than having to read through the job descriptions to find out. It helps target the resume into a new direction or field, by lifting up from all past jobs the key skills and qualifications to help prove you will be successful in this new direction or field.

Advantages: it will help you most in reaching for a new goal or direction. It is a very effective type of resume, and is highly recommended. The disadvantage is that it is hard for the employer to know exactly what you did in which job, which may be a problem for some conservative interviewers.

Combination Resume A combination resume lists your skills and experience first. Your employment history is listed next. With this type of resume you can highlight the skills you have that are relevant to the job you are applying for, and also provide the chronological work history that employers prefer.

There are obvious advantages to this combined approach: it maximizes the advantages of both kinds of resumes, avoiding potential negative effects of either type. One disadvantage is that it tends to be a longer resume. Another is that it can be repetitious: accomplishments and skills may have to be repeated in both the "functional" section and the "chronological" job descriptions.
