- First of all keep in mind that you have to prepare your resume according to the qualifications and job description by the employer.
- Key Achievements and Relevant Experience should be mentioned on first page to make it attractive to the employer. Because experience counts more than your education record.
- While mentioning your experience try making it clear and concise, mention all the important tasks you were assigned on the particular job and matches the current job requirement you are applying for.
- Key Achievements are also very important factor that helps employer recognizing your potential.
- Additional skills that can be helpful in performing the job and making your personality stronger (like diplomas, courses, seminars, workshops etc.) are also helpful in making your Resume effective.
- Mentioning education is must but in minimum space, because it indicates your eligibility.
- Neither references nor picture should be placed in resume unless they are asked for.
- Right formatting of your resume is very important because it enhances the appearance and make it look good. So use professional font style, font size, spacing, alignment of text and headings.
- Do not decorate your resume, keep it simple and professional
Note: For those who are either fresh graduates or do not have ample experience to show on their resume, should mention their experience on relevant projects and assignments conducted in this regard.
I hope these points would be helpful in creating or editing your resume :)
