technologiesCreating your resume:The structure of the online resume

Step-by-step

A DoYouBuzz resume is like a website. There is a home page and “secondary” pages (professional experience, educa-tion, skills...).

The home page is similar to a one page re-sume. Space is limited so it is important to only include your most relevant and im-pressive information.

The goal is to give a recruiter a good idea of what you can do in under 30 seconds. If there is too much information, your re-sume will be hard to read and may not get the attention it deserves.

Secondary pages allow a recruiter to learn more about your professional experience. These pages should contain information that will support your case, but is not considered essential.

Tips

A great home page is usually structured as follows:3 to 4 professional experiences3 to 6 skill areas2 to 3 diplomas or certifications1 portfolio element
