  • A resume,tells the interviewer or prospective employer what your capable of.

    There are far too many types and versions of resumes writing tips around.

    Do take it from me.I am a recruiter and see hundreds of resumes day in day out..and usually..out they go

    What i would look out for:

    Personal information,incl hbbies,Extra curriculur activities

    Employment History,names of companies you been

    Length of stay in each company( anything less than 6 mths,exclude it,you will hv a hard time explaining yrself)

    Job scope and responsibilities

    Employers will see if your capable of handling their job scope,or they will check for similarities

    ACHIEVEMENTS-quantifiable or otherwise

    This is important,try to give % increases or cost savings,what you have done to benefit your current employers

    Employment objectives

    What role you see yourself taking in the next few years and how your contribution can make a difference to the company as a whole...

    Good luck

  • One other thing you might think about is just going into the Microsoft Office Word program and looking at the formats that they give you. Then you sort of just fill in the area with your work history.
