Surprised to have a Series that most job seekers should already know
about? Don’t be! Being in the staffing industry I review resumes
on a daily basis. I am surprised to see how the simplest
information or should I say the lack there of, can cause one’s
resume to be overlooked, pushed to the side and in some cases never
even considered for an open position.
Building Your Resume will be part of a series that will hopefully
engage job seekers to take a look at how they are presenting
themselves to prospective employers well before they have a face to
face opportunity. Remember…first impressions are lasting
impressions and in most cases, the resume is the very first. If not
presented correctly, the resume could be your very last impression!
A resume is more than a piece of paper. It is a series of moving
parts, that when working seamlessly, should move an employer to take
a serious look at you.
The first part of the resume and obviously most important…is your
contact information. Different professionals of course have
different opinions on how this information should be displayed.
Some say that the most prominent position is at the top right hand
corner, the reason behind this logic is so that when paging through
a stack of paper, it is not hidden if paper clipped or stapled to
other sheets. Others say centered, this reason is simply that it
gives the resume a bolder look!
Either way you place the information make sure that you include the
following: Name (complete, full name), Address (street, city, state
and zip code), Phone (include area code and alternate number where
you might be contacted) and email address (avoid emails names that
may sound offensive – do not let your email name become the topic of
discussion).
Continue to follow the series. Our next moving part to the resume
will be Your Objective. Think about what is currently on your
resume…what kind of impression does your resume make?
