Over the course of the next few weeks I am going to post about resumes using my resume as a demo. Mr. Zivan and myself have been reviewing my resume and we are going to critique and analyze it for everyone to use as an example. First here are 5 of Mr. Zivans resume writing tips:
1) I am busier then you!
- This is his way of saying to be clear with your resume and making it easy to understand in a way that he hopes you will remember. Dont make the hiring manager waste time working through your formatting and confusion.
2) Looks matter. A lot.
- The formatting and how clean and neat the presentation is of your resume can be a big deal!
3) Tell the Truth.
-Mr. Zivan made a point to early on in your career to decide to be honest with what is placed on your resume.
4) Sell me, though.
-The honesty mentioned above doesnt mean that you can't spin the information you provide to sell your experience or skills.
5) By the way-what are you?
-Be sure to show personality in your resume, the activities or services section can be a great way to sell yourself and be original. This is what is going to set you apart from other applicants.
