Resumes

The writer does not present any formulaic way to write a resume or cover letter. The main purpose of the resume is to get the interview. It needs to focus on message rather than on the rituals. Some of the things resume can include are the candidate’s computer skills, communication skills, interpersonal skills, professionalism, and specific other skills.
1. Focus on message rather than the rituals
2. Think from the manager’s perspective; not what you want, but what the manager needs. Try to know more about the company you are applying so that you can refer to specific aspects of it to impress the employer.
3. Also think of the appearance, your letter should stand out in the heap of resumes and cover letters. Make it look more professional than fancy.
4. Focus on details in your cover letter. Provide what experience you have received with concrete details. You also need to relate to what you have done with what you are now required to do. You can also show your enthusiasm by saying that you want to and can do beyond what is required.
5. Managers are busy people. They only scan your resumes. So, be careful about formatting. You need to make the most important things stand out. Use necessary ways to make them appear in a glance. You can use more white space around important things. You can also use other methods like highlighting.
6. You also need to mention objective. You may write “career interest” instead of “job.”
7. The idea of length is difficult to say. The point is it needs to be precise and short. But at the same time it needs to be somewhat detailed in terms of important points.
