The
Resume is a marketing tool. Whether you accept it or not, finding a job
really boils down to you selling your self: your skills, your experience and
expertise, etc. Therefore, your resume is a vital part of your sales kit.
It is almost impossible, today, to conduct effective job-search without a
winning resume.
Write your resume in terms of Responsibilities
and Accomplishments. Focus also on your transferable skills.
The things you have done and accomplished in the past, are among the best predictors and
indicators of what you will do in the future. It will seldom be necessary
to go back more ten years in you past to market yourself. Explore and
exploit your recent past. Don' be afraid to explore new opportunities and
stretch yourself. You should always be growing personally and
professionally.
Your resume should be:
Current (always
up-to-date)
Without grammatical and spelling errors
Not more than two pages
Printed on a good quality paper
Always be accessible (a copy always readily available)
