5 Points of an Effective Resume
![Page 2: 5points Of An Effective Resume](https://reader030.vdocuments.mx/reader030/viewer/2022032803/56812997550346895d8c4f35/html5/thumbnails/2.jpg)
Creating a resume sounds simple enough.
![Page 3: 5points Of An Effective Resume](https://reader030.vdocuments.mx/reader030/viewer/2022032803/56812997550346895d8c4f35/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
Write what you've done…
Who you are…
And why you should be hired for the job.
![Page 4: 5points Of An Effective Resume](https://reader030.vdocuments.mx/reader030/viewer/2022032803/56812997550346895d8c4f35/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
An employer will look at your
resume, see that you are qualified,
and hire you.
![Page 5: 5points Of An Effective Resume](https://reader030.vdocuments.mx/reader030/viewer/2022032803/56812997550346895d8c4f35/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
Unfortunately, there's a lot more
to writing a resume than that.
![Page 6: 5points Of An Effective Resume](https://reader030.vdocuments.mx/reader030/viewer/2022032803/56812997550346895d8c4f35/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Keep in mind most resumes are looked at for 5 - 6 seconds.
![Page 7: 5points Of An Effective Resume](https://reader030.vdocuments.mx/reader030/viewer/2022032803/56812997550346895d8c4f35/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Here are 5 TIPS to clean up your resume and
boost your chances of getting the job.
![Page 8: 5points Of An Effective Resume](https://reader030.vdocuments.mx/reader030/viewer/2022032803/56812997550346895d8c4f35/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
1. Be Brief
Be succinct and to the point.
![Page 9: 5points Of An Effective Resume](https://reader030.vdocuments.mx/reader030/viewer/2022032803/56812997550346895d8c4f35/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
For example:
State that you were a "Hiring Manager"
![Page 10: 5points Of An Effective Resume](https://reader030.vdocuments.mx/reader030/viewer/2022032803/56812997550346895d8c4f35/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
For example:
Not that you were a "Vice President of Human Resources Operations."
![Page 11: 5points Of An Effective Resume](https://reader030.vdocuments.mx/reader030/viewer/2022032803/56812997550346895d8c4f35/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
2. Be Specific
Don’t use generic terms to describe your previous job.
![Page 12: 5points Of An Effective Resume](https://reader030.vdocuments.mx/reader030/viewer/2022032803/56812997550346895d8c4f35/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
For example:
Don't write "supervised a department store."
![Page 13: 5points Of An Effective Resume](https://reader030.vdocuments.mx/reader030/viewer/2022032803/56812997550346895d8c4f35/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Instead, write…
"Supervised six employees and accounted for $1,600,000
worth of inventory on a daily basis."
![Page 14: 5points Of An Effective Resume](https://reader030.vdocuments.mx/reader030/viewer/2022032803/56812997550346895d8c4f35/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
3. Be Relevant Emphasize the jobs that most heavily
relate to the one you are applying for.
![Page 15: 5points Of An Effective Resume](https://reader030.vdocuments.mx/reader030/viewer/2022032803/56812997550346895d8c4f35/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Look at the job description and try to tailor your key words to
the ones in the ad.
![Page 16: 5points Of An Effective Resume](https://reader030.vdocuments.mx/reader030/viewer/2022032803/56812997550346895d8c4f35/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
4. Be Error-Free Resumes should be perfect, grammatically speaking.
![Page 17: 5points Of An Effective Resume](https://reader030.vdocuments.mx/reader030/viewer/2022032803/56812997550346895d8c4f35/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Ask someone to proof-read it for you.
![Page 18: 5points Of An Effective Resume](https://reader030.vdocuments.mx/reader030/viewer/2022032803/56812997550346895d8c4f35/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
5. Be Clean Don't clutter up your resume; make effective use of whitespace.
![Page 19: 5points Of An Effective Resume](https://reader030.vdocuments.mx/reader030/viewer/2022032803/56812997550346895d8c4f35/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Keep your resume to one or two pages unless additional information is
requested.
![Page 20: 5points Of An Effective Resume](https://reader030.vdocuments.mx/reader030/viewer/2022032803/56812997550346895d8c4f35/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Resumes are a game of minutiae so never
stop improving and adjusting yours …

… in order to land the job you deserve.
