Resume Tips to Nail That Job Interview

Your resume is extremely important. Think about it. In the span of a few pages, you need to convey that YOU are worthy of at least being considered for that job vacancy. It really does not matter if you are applying for a manager job or an executive position, what"s important is that the resume contents and resume layout fit the position at hand. Sadly, many ruin their chances at job success because they can not format their resumes properly. Do not be one of them. Follow our resume tips and you"ll get the chance you deserve.


Resume Tips to Help you Get that Job Interview Call


Before you go on your hunt for great job interview tips, you should first focus on writing a great resume. After all, the job interview will come IF your resume says you deserve it.


Resume Tip No. 1 – Different resume types require different resume formats.


Your resume is really your "first impression" and just like any real, one-on-one interview, it"s important that your resume conveys the right "image". For instance, an executive resume is best presented with a cover letter outlining the highlights of your career. For the succeeding pages, it"s best to list your work experience in reverse chronological order (ie, most recent first). For mid-level positions, a cover letter is not really required. For new graduations, it"s best to start your resume with your educational attainment and any related "on-the-job" training or seminars even if you are currently employed.


Apart from the above, you can not go wrong with using a clear, easy-to-read font like Times New Roman 10 pt or 12 pt. Also, assuming you send in your resume via email, use general Word processing software like Microsoft Word. Do not use the latest version as it may not yet be used by those handling recruitments, rending your resume un-open and then, useless.


Resume Tip No. 2. Include a no BS executive summary.


Job recruiters get really annoyed when they"re fed with Executive Summaries that are VAGUE. The Executive Summary must answer the question on why you are the best candidate for the job. The best resume layout for this would be to enumerate your skills in a bulleted list. Each skill should be written so that it clearly shows how that skill makes you a perfect fit for the job vacancy in particular, and the company in general.


Resume Tip No. 3 – Do NOT lie.


Who does not embellish his resume to get that job interview? That"s true … but do not exaggerate to the point of lying either. For instance, you know that figures are great in resumes, but do not say "Managed a $ 50 million dollar publishing project …" if it you can not back up that figure. Do not forget that job recruiters, especially for managerial and executive positions, really do check up with previous employers.


Resume Tip No. 4 – What about online resumes?


A great resume tip that does not cost anything at all is to view sample online resumes! There"s a lot of information out there for different types of resumes with samples to boot so do give them a try. Apart from free samples, there are also ready-to-use online resume templates you can purchase where all you need to do is just "fill out the blanks". If you opt for this, just ensure that the template really fits your resume needs.


Resume Tip No. 5 – Hire a professional resume writer.


When all else fails, or if you do not have the time, or the job is simply too important that you want to go in with your BEST chance at landing a job interview, then by all means, get the services of a professional resume writer. Not everybody is blessed with having that special way with words so a professional CV writer can definitely help you. Note too that such a person can help you "smooth out" some job history problems you may have such as employment gaps or "job hopping" trends (ie, moving from one job to another in relative short periods of time).


When it comes top writing resumes, you should always put your best foot forward so you get called for that job interview. Hopefully, the resume tips we"ve provided here helps you realize exactly that.
