7 Mistakes You Make When You Write A Resume by dumisami: 8:59am On Sep 14, 2015 |
We all try to find a good job but the road is hard and we have to put our best in making a good resume. Is very easy to make mistakes in your cv, when you are young and without experience. So, to prevent this follow these tips below to make sure you do the best. 1. Look at your grammatical errors Your resume needs to correctly grammatical because if not the employers will read you resume between the lines and all your efforts until then are gone. 2. Write specific resume Every company like to think that is important and the best you can do is to create a specific cv for this. Follow this advice and you will not regret. 3. Give details When you write about your experience, don't write only 1 short line about the company's where you worked for. Write a story about the responsibilities you have at that company, about your daily tasks and you successes. 4. Too long or Too short Too long resume will bore the employer and your cv will end up in the trash bin. The same story will be with too short resume that means that you have a lack of details. Find a good ratio between your education, experience and abilities for the best resume. 5. The lack of using action verbs The good point is to use in your cv the action verbs. Instead of using "responsible for", use a sentence like: "I resolved the client questions as a part of marketing department serving 900 clients. 6. Leaving off important information Probably in your school your have been involved in many actions. Maybe you are participating at courses or you have time management knowledge. Leaving off this information that can give you a really good advantage will be a minus for you. 7. A bad objective This line is very important because is the fist thing that employer reads. Be specific, write a new objective for every company you send a resume. A good line looks like this: "A challenging full-time accounting position that allows me to contribute my skills and experience to make your clients happy."
