The electronic age, has more and more influenced recruiters and hiring managers to refer to the Internet to find job seekers.
Having your resume online, is the best way for employers to find you. It also enables you to apply for a job on the web.
Writing your resume should be simple and easy. It should be about you and very much to the point. A resume is about content. The content of your resume is very important to an employer.
The content is the information that tells the interviewer why you are the right person for the job.
It is important in putting together your resume that you know what to leave and what to take out. A simple rule of thumb is to include information about yourself relevant to your career. For example, you need to include your membership, leadership roles in industry associations, your education, speaking engagements or published articles; and to leave out personal information like age, marital status, number of children, health or political/religions affiliations.
Your resume needs to be about a page long or less, preferably keeping it to 700-1000 words. It should not be a novel. Hiring managers do not have the time to read long resumes, regardless of your experience for the position that you are seeking. It is also important in your short resume to highlight your skills and accomplishments. There is no need to get wordy- the employer is not looking for a best-seller, only a summary of what you have done and where.
The need to be accurate is very important. The format, should be easy, clean, simple sentences, flowing nicely, etc... Again, identifying what you have you have done, with everything relating to the position that you are applying for.
