A resume could possibly be the most important document you ever write in your life. This is why you must set it apart from all the other resumes that are out there. There are a few basic things that are a must for any resume.
One is it has to be appealing to the eye.If your resume is just another resume, then it’s just going to be lost in the pile of other resumes. You have to make the viewer notice your resume while keeping it professional. You can do this by adding borders or other things throughout your resume. However, while doing this make sure to keep your resume professional looking. If your resume has borders and pictures that make it hard to read or make it confusing the reader may not even give it a serious look and just throw it in the NO pile.
Here is a video that may be helpful in your resume writing:

Brandon,
ReplyDeleteI see you figured it out. I really liked your video and you did a good job summarizing the main points. You could have personalize your message a little better. Maybe by sharing your own experience with writing a succesful resume. I agree with you that a good resume must stand out from the others, and have a proffesional look. I heard about Power Point resume with internal links to previous employer sites. Something to think about in the future.Once again, you did a good job.
I like the first tip because no matter how many times I have to turn in an resume it seems like there is always a million different opinions why it is not perfect by each teacher!
ReplyDeleteRecently I have been thinking of going over my resume and changing a few things, I liked the video. I will definitely come back and watch it again to get some tips. Very helpful post.
