Personal

Some people include hobbies talents etc in their resume. This is not generally recommended. But if you like some questions at beginning of interview for ice breaking you can add it.

Other personal information regarding age, religion race and sexual preference should never appear on any resume. 

But you can add personal address, Passport number, 

Position of responsibilities

   This will give us a great result. We can show our leadership quality, managerial skills and team player skills in an indirect way.

Example:

School  leader

NSS Chairman

Science club secretary 2003

References

This is not necessary but a prospective employer needs to know that you have references who may be contacted if necessary. Else you can add a sentence at the bottom stating “ References are available upon request” .

Example

Ø  Mr. Sharafudheen. C.K.P, Assistant Manager Technical, Technotrac Automation Company.

       Email: xxxxxxxxxxxxxx@gmail.com .Ph:xxxxxxx

Ø  Mr. Narayanan. Executive Engineer, State Electricity Company, Ph:xxxxxxxx

       Email:xxxxxxxxxxxxxx@gmail.com.

STEP --2

Now you have gathered all of the information for each of sections of your resume, it’s time to write out each section in a way that will get attention of whoever is reviewing it.

Before going to next step shall we read some theories created by resume experts?

The type of language you in your resume will affect its success. You want to take all the information you have gathered and translate it in to a language that will cause a potential employer to sit up and take notice

Resume writing is not like expository writing or creative writing. It embodies a functional, direct writing style and focus on the use of action words. By using action words in your writing you more efficiently stress past accomplishments. Action words help demonstrate your initiative and highlight your talents. By using action words you characterize yourself as a person who takes action, and this will impress potential employers. Following are examples of verbs commonly used to create action words. That will help your resume to become strong one:

Administered, billed, advised, built, analyzed carried out, arranged, channeled, assembled, collected, assumed responsibility, communicated.etc 

Use silent”I”

Example (Correct): manage 15 sales associates responsible for generating  90% of company revenue.

I is a word hirers never like to see. Remember that most business are teams, and there is no “I” in “team”

Example (Wrong): I manage 15 sales associates responsible for generating  90% of company revenue.

Never use “he”, “She”, and “their”. These are all third person pronounce

Examples (wrong): He manage 15 sales associates responsible for generating 90% of company revenue.

Use eye catching objective statements like

“Award winnig sales professional with quota-shattering background and demonstrated expertise in training, motivating , and overseeing junior employees.”

Any way no need to be confused after creating a resume we can do a research on it.

Shall we move to next step?..

STEP 3

Layout and assembly

Now you have all the information for your resume, and you have rewritten using the language to impress employers.

Next step is to assemble these elements in a logical order and lay them out on the page neatly and attractively in order to get the desired result.
Now you need a computer with word software (MS office word or Open office word or any other..)

You can make resume in your own way, but I prefer simple resume,

Open Word software and start typing
