Writing A perfect resume - In detail

providing step-by-step guidelines for making a perfect resume. Follow these
guidelines and prepare your own strong resume that lands you in interview, that
leads you to get a good job
Part 1: Top
heading
Write your:
• Name
• Address
• Phone
number
• E-mail
address

Part 2: The Objective
This is an important part of your
resume….
Here you state what you would like
to achieve out of working in the particular organization. Like, you may want to
really learn how to be a good software engineer and master of designing and
coding.
You have to state the objective in
terms of what you would like to do for the organization once you are appointed.
It should be clear and straight to the point. The objective should just be two
or three lines.
What is the point of writing an
objective?
If you don’t have an objective on
your resume, you will just have a general resume. Your resume will not be
targeted. Your resume will just talk about you and all your “great”
accomplishments.
A resume without an objective will
not be able to convey to the employer what you will be able to do for the
employer. Such a resume, since it is not “targeted” to meeting the employers
needs will not produce results.
Employers generally do not like to
hire people who are working just for money. Employers like to hire people who
are charged and motivated. Employers like people who have aims and want to
accomplish or learn something.
If you don’t talk about your
objective, you look like as if you want a job just for the sake of money. You will
look like the kind of person who will not really work hard for the organization
and give their fullest participation. So, it is very important that you have a
“Objective” on your resume.
Also make sure you do not put in an
objective just because it sounds good. You must understand your objective. You
will probably be asked about your objective when you go for the interview if
your resume gets selected.
Part 3: Educational
Qualifications
Education qualification should be in
a descending order i.e. on the top you would have your recent qualification.
Many and almost all of us have
studied class I, V, VI etc ... so we don’t need to mention these classes but we
start with the first board exam we had given or Class 10th results.
If you stood up with good marks,
mention them along with the name of the school and the year you passed. If you
had average score and you do not wish to include the same, leave it out (But
remember the percentage you scored, the interviewer may ask you!).
Then your Class 12th marks, your
graduation, post graduation, and any other qualification you have achieved.
Use bullets to mark your
qualification, but remember not to use very stylish and fancy bullets, they
might create a negative impact on the person reading your resume.
Part 4: Skills &
Areas of Technical Expertise
This is the location on your resume
where you should showcase your skill set. Set it up on your resume like the
following example modifying the headings and substituting your own information
as needed
Example
Certifications : MCSE; PGDCA, Auto CAD, .NET
Operating systems : windows 2000 xp, linux
Software technologies : .NET,
java, testing tools
Packages : Ms-office2000, tally8.0
Software tools : informatica, Auto-cad,
Knowledge of : Web designing, Photoshop, Networking, Hardware
Part 5: Experience
Now, it’s turn for the experience if
you have. If you don’t have any work experience, don’t worry,
If you have any, remember to write
them in descending order (the most recent place you have worked first and so
on…) just like your qualification.
When mentioning your work
experience, make sure you mention:
• The
name of the company you worked for.
• Time
OR duration you worked there.
• The
designation you were appointed for.
Part 6: Achievements
As stated earlier, using a table to
state your achievements is a good idea.
What does the achievements section
include?
If you played any sport at state,
national or international level, any competitions you took part in and won etc.
then they will all come here.
Try to mention those achievements
that the employer would care about right on top. Like, if you are applying for
a marketing post then it would be a good idea to mention that you won a
marketing competition.
A long list of unrelated
achievements would be of little value.
Not all achievements have to be big,
but they have to show that you got results as you carried out your
responsibilities. Many of your routine activities can be quantified and written
as achievements that demonstrate your experience and knowledge. They can be
proof of how you’ve HELPED the company! They should show the employer how he
will be able to fulfill the needs of his organization by hiring you.
Part 7: Strength and
Hobbies
Mention your strengths and hobbies
here. When talking about your strengths, again it would be good if you can show
the employer how your strengths would benefit his/her organization. If the
strengths are related to the job you are applying for they will have a better
effect.
