PART 4

HOW TO WRITE A WINNING RESUME

The main purpose of a resume is to convince an employer to grant you an interview. There are

two kinds. One is the familiar tombstone that lists where you went to school and where youve

worked in chronological order. The other is what I call the functional resume- descriptive, fun

to read, unique to you and much more likely to land you an interview.

Its handy to have a tombstone for certain occasions. But prospective employers throw away

most of those unrequested tombstone lists, preferring to interview the quick rather than the

dead.

What follows are tips on writing a functional resume that will get read- a resume that makes youcome alive and look interesting to employers.

Put yourself first: In order to write a resume others will read with enthusiasm, you have to feel

important about yourself.

Sell what you can do, not who you are: Practice translating your personality traits, character,

accomplishments and achievements into skill areas. There are at least five thousand skill areas in

the world of work.

Toot your own horn! Many people clutch when asked to think about their abilities. Some think

they have none at all! But everyone does, and one of yours may just be the ticket an employer

would be glad to punch- if only you show it.

Be specific, be concrete and be brief!

Turn bad news into good: Everybody has had disappointments in work. If you had to mention

yours, look for the positive side.

Never apologize: If youre returning to the work force after fifteen years as a parent, simply

write a short paragraph (summary of background) in place of a chronology of experience. Dont

apologize for working at being a mother; Its the hardest job of all. If you have nospecial training

or higher education, just dont mention education.

How to psych yourself up: The secret is to think about the selfbefore you start writing aboutyourself. Take four or five hours off, not necessarily consecutive, and simply write down your

every accomplishment in your life, on or off the job, that made you feel effective. Dont worry at

first about what it all means. Study the list and try to spot patterns. As you study your list, you

will come closer to the meaning: identifying your marketable skills. Once you discover patterns,

give names to your cluster of accomplishments (leadership skills, budget management skills,

child development skills etc.) Try to list at least three accomplishments under the same skills

heading. Now start writing your resume as ifyoumattered. It may take four drafts or more, and

several weeks, before youre ready to show it to a stranger (friends are usually too kind) for a

reaction. When youre satisfied, send it to a printer; a printed resume is far superior to

photocopies. It shows an employer that you regard job hunting as serious work, worth doing

right.

Isnt that the kind of person youd want working for you?

41.The author calls one type of resume a tombstone (line 2)because:

A it lists your achievements in chronological order.

B it lists what youve done in the past rather than what you can do in the future.

42.Quick (line 6) means:

A fast.

B efficient.

C alive.

43.Toot your own horn! (line 15)means:

A dont be modest.

B tell the employer what youve done in the past.44.Many people clutch when asked to (line 15)means:

A many people panic.

B many people underestimate themselves.
