How to Write Job-Winning Resumes
Creating a resume that actually gets you the job is more about
knowing what hiring managers and recruiters are 'not' looking
for, than trying to give them everything that they 'are' looking
for. A few things recruiters and hiring managers don't want to
see are:
The year you graduated high school. Unless you are a new
graduate entering an internship program or some other
entry-level position, or if you've never had any work
experience, then maybe you include the year you
graduated high school. However, if you've been in the
workforce for any significant amount of time, or if you're
currently in college and you have internships and work
experience under your belt, there is no need to include
what year you graduated high school.
Extracurricular activities, especially if those activities have
the potential to incite any type of bias. If you are involved
in religious, cultural, or social groups, unless those
activities relate to the position to which you are applying,
do not include those activities. As much as possible you
want to eliminate any bias that inhibits your chances of
securing a position.
Personal information. There should never be any reason
for an employer to inquire about your personal life.
Personal information includes things like, your marital
status, sexual orientation, parental status, etc. These are
all things that can create bias that has the potential to
eliminate you as a candidate for a new position.
In addition to knowing what 'not' to do, you also need to
ensure that the information you include on your resume is
what employers are looking for. For instance, employers
need to see:
Results. Employers in this day and age are looking for
employees who can deliver results. Gone are the days
where employers had the time, energy, and resources to
train new hires on issues that plague the business. Now,
employers are recruiting candidates and hiring employees
who come in the door knowing what organizational
problems exist and just what they need to do to solve
them. Your resume should reflect results. Don't spend an
inordinate amount of time describing your job
responsibilities as they were dictated to you. You need to
show what you did, and what the outcomes of what you
did were. If you implemented solutions to address the
overspending that occurred when ordering supplies, then
you need to include that on your resume, and if at all
possible, include what the cost savings were. Showing how
you've produced results is also a great indicator of your
problem solving abilities, so don't be shy.
Relevant information. Ensuring that your resume is
relevant means that you're not including work you did
twenty years ago while you worked the docks at some
retail store. Relevant work experience in essentially
includes the things that you've done within the past five to
seven years.
Again, everything you've accomplished should, as much as
possible, include actual results you've had and/or problems
you've solved. Employers want to know that your skills and
experience are fresh and ready to apply in a new environment.
Thanks
