A resume is your introduction to the business world. It should be easy to read and a compilation of your strengths, accomplishments and what you have to offer an employer. The reader should get a sense of who you are and how you can help their business succeed. Here are some tips for creating a great resume.
Develop a clear objective. What is the purpose of your resume? Briefly explain what you have to offer the potential employer and why you should be hired.
Outline your experience and accomplishments. What have you done in the past or are doing presently that makes you knowledgeable about the type of work you're applying for? How have you succeeded in this field? Quantify your answer, if possible. Don't exaggerate, though. You may need to substantiate your claims.
Show that you're motivated to perform. The ability to be a clear-thinker who is self-motivated and driven to succeed is a definite plus to an employer. Show the ability to "think outside the box" and develop solutions to problems. This doesn't have to be an in-depth paragraph, but a sentence or two about solutions you've been able to provide to a problem is sufficient.
Keep your thoughts brief and to the point. Someone should be able to determine at a glance that you are the right person for the job.
By all means, use spell-check or have a friend or relative proof-read your resume. Nothing says that you are unprofessional more than spelling or grammar errors. If you can't take the time to proof-read and present the information correctly, then it appears as if you don't have the attention to detail necessary to perform the job correctly.
These are but a few things you can do to present yourself to prospective employers and clients. First impressions count. Your resume is the first impression of you and much as you wouldn't show up to an interview in a t-shirt & flip-flops, your resume should be professional-looking also.
