Want more interviews? Job searches in tough times like now demand polished resumes more than ever. If you are attempting to write your own resume, these seven tips are important to follow:
1. Select the best format.
While most resumes are written in a history chronological format, often a better technique is to evenly balance between skill-set description, achievements, and employment.

2. Make certain your document is error free.
Since you are familiar with your own writing, you will "see" what you were thinking and not what is actually on the page. Do not rely on yourself to proofread your work and do not rely on spell-check. Find a friend who has strong grammar skills to check your work.

3. Find a balance between wordiness and lack of detail.
Employers need to see details about your work history and experience, but they don't need to know everything. The fact that you were den leader in your Cub Scout troop is irrelevant. Keep information germane to the goal of attaining an interview. Eliminate information that is not related and will not have a direct impact on winning the interview.

4. Do not use personal pronouns.
"I," "me," "my," "mine," and "our" should not be on a resume. Resumes are written in first person (implied). Example: For your prior job description, instead of writing: "I hired, trained and supervised a team of assistant managers and sales associates" you would instead state that you "Hired, trained and supervised a team of assistant managers and sales associates." Fragment sentences are perfectly acceptable on a resume and actually preferred.

5. Use numerical symbols for numbers.
While we are taught in school to spell out numbers less than ten, in resume writing, numerical symbols serve as "eye stops" and are a much better method. Instead of writing "Developed a dynamic team of eight consultants." it would be much more advantageous to state "Developed a dynamic team of 8 consultants."

6. Think "accomplishments" rather than "job duties."
What makes you stand out from the crowd? How did you come up with a way to do things better, more efficiently, or for less cost? What won honors for you? Information such as this is vital, will grab attention, and put your resume at the top of the list.

7. Keep it positive.
Reasons for leaving a job and setbacks do not have a place on a resume. Employers are seeking people who can contribute and have successfully performed in the past. Concentrate on communicating these issues and avoid any detracting information.

Remember, many first-time job interviews are conducted via telephone rather than in person. Make sure you are prepared for that telephone call when it arrives. And make sure you have a resume that will make the phone ring!

Hey Guys,

I"ve bn followin all u ve bn saying, Presently I'm with ETB, I dont really believe wat is written down in those offer letters because they are not the true scheme, so as to evade tax, wat I'm after is wat i see in my bank account at the end of the month, I earn N155,000 every month and there is wat we call the third month(furniture month), where u are paid times 2 ur normal salary, i ve received only one of that anyway, cos i'm just 4months on the job, well as for the stress, I think its worth it, nothing good comes easy,

For those still searching, just keep praying and dont give up, destiny can be delayed, not changed, God still be God oooo, He never change, PEACE YÁLL

@vicade

yes, i agree with u that wen u present ur problems to the public, u'll be dissed, but let us do this wisely, nairaland is for matured people and not kids, if u want to critize, do it wisely,

sorry to say, its disgusting sometimes the way we attack issues on this forum, somebody will bring up something that is bothering him/her and we just care less about it and joke over it, sometime we even leave the subject and start beefing ourselves, its not funny, if somebody has a problem, lets help the person out with solutions, if u are not an expert in that field, say it and refer, if possible, to a better hand, thank 4 ur understanding y'all

@Merge

if these are what u consider b4 marriage, May God help you, because e go hard u ooooo, let me give u a hint of what to consider b4 marriage,
1) trust
2) care
3)understanding and mostly
4)love

the problem we have as humans is that we keep telling ourselves lies, if u have a sexual urge, ur girl should be able to understand and satisfy that, these things are natural, we have little or no control over them, her understanding is part of u guys being compartible, lets tell ourselves the truth and leave morality out of this
