How To Make An Impressive Resume

By Elizabeth Kelly


Employers won't waste their time contacting people for interviews if they are not impressed by your resume. If you have been submitting your resume daily for a while and are not getting responses, maybe it's time to take a look at your resume and make some changes.

The content of your resume is what decides whether or not an employer contacts you. You need to make sure you are putting the right stuff in your resume. What kind of stuff should be put in your resume to make sure that happens?

The objective is what employers first look at. While some employers may find the objective to be a cliche for some professionals, the objective can be crucial for recent graduates, entry level positions, and changing fields of work. The objective is usually a few lines about what you hope to accomplish if they were to hire you.

Next, is your employment history. This should include all employment for the past three to five years only. Also, it is important not to waste your or the employers time with details that have no relevance to the position you are applying for.

Be prepared to subtly boast your accomplishments with your previous employments to cover yourself in the event that employers try to challenge your weak points with previous employers.

Include your education background and any other proficiencies and qualifications you may have. Make sure to include personal information that is relevant to the position and include any accomplishments you had throughout your high school and college career

Make sure you add extracurricular activities like trainings or seminars you may have attended in the past. Don't be shy about your qualifications and accomplishments.

Finally, don't be overly descriptive about your personal details. Your eye and hair color, and other details are generally irrelevant.
