Avoid Writing a Resume Like a Memo
Avoid Writing a Resume Like a MemoWhen writing a resume, sometimes I tend to refer to myself in the first person such as 'Mark, The Director of Marketing', but I am not writing a resume for myself. You will see many resumes in your job search, at the first glance they may seem professional and impressive but they do not mention your name or in the case of some companies, they refer to you by something other than your name. And of course it makes no sense to write a resume to look impressive and to impress someone, unless you can give them a reason to hire you and that is not something you want to give them.The key thing to remember when writing a resume is that you need to think about the objective of the person reading it. Do you want to make the reader aware of a career you have and an organization they might be interested in? Or maybe your career objective is just to have a job opening, which is fine, but would it really be helpful if you included in your resume a great deal of in formation about yourself? In short, if you are looking for a job you might as well include information about yourself.Many of the job seekers nowadays are very aware of what a resume should contain. Most of these are also aware of how important it is to include a picture. They also understand the importance of writing a resume in such a way that it can be read even if you don't have a clue on what you are talking about. They have this mindset that goes along with the rest of the world and the beauty of it is that even with this mindset, they still find it beneficial to add information about themselves.If you have a career objective in mind, then why not include in your resume what your specific objectives are. It is an interesting fact that more than eighty percent of the people who fill out a resume actually provide some additional information about themselves while filling out the resume.While writing a resume, it is still important to take a creative approach when filling it out. Don't go for a monotonous, monotone, boring resume, rather make your resume interesting and fun to read, fill it with a lot of details about your experiences, work experiences, achievements, accomplishments, experiences, and do your best to add some personal experiences in there.The best resume writers are those who know what they are doing when writing a resume, they know the exact purpose of the resume and all the appropriate words that are used. If you feel you can get away with a not so creative resume that is certainly what you should do.In summary, when writing a resume it is important to follow the above mentioned points and not try to write it in a way that is boring and repetitive. Instead, find some creative words and phrases that are relevant to your career objective and put it all together to form a resume that is interesting and capable of being read. Use this resume when you submit it and you should be able to get more jobs than if you did not use a resume at all.
