How does one BEGIN A RESUME?
In order to effectively convey your strengths, you must do a
self assessment.
|
|
|
-
Begin with a list
of your greatest accomplishments and personal qualities.
-
Describe your
skills and accomplishments with each employer by using
action words. List only the skills that you would
like to use on a new job. If you are writing a scannable
resume then use
key words.
-
Write a
chronological history of your employment, training,
volunteer work and extra-curricular activities.
-
Analyze the
requirements of the new job you want to apply for.
-
Compare the
skills required with your background and indicate how
you have demonstrated these skills. (Apply for jobs
where you have the closest fit and interest.)
