Resume guidelines
[Sample resume style]
Resumes are a business document:
part business card, part sales brochure: recruiters are
busy people so you must deliver your message in a brief, succinct style
that emphasises your written communication skills.
Recruiters tend to short-list or
interview candidates with the best
resumes; not necessarily selecting the candidate who has all the right
skills for the job.
Hiring Managers never read
your resume word-by-word: key word searches for the right
skills short list candidates in seconds, followed by a quick
review of the candidate's resume to decide if suitable to interview.
To survive your first few paragraphs
should contain the most important information recruiters look for;
what you do, what is your experience, when and where you have worked.
Recruiters will choose to interview candidates
with the best resumes; not necessarily the candidate who has all
the right skills for the job.
Independent Resume Readability Test
Well written business
documents need to have a formal structure: all the right
information in correct sequence, easy to read with short sharp
informative sentences that do not confuse the reader.
Your resume should meet this
standard: to succeed your key resume objective should be to convince
companies to hire you before other applicants.
[Test your resume knowledge in 30
seconds]
Career summary
Important business documents rely
on a summary to save time; your name, contact details, job title
followed by a brief career summary of your level of experience,
your skills, what companies you have worked for, where you have
worked.
Before you even start writing your resume think about who will read
your document: amongst hundreds of job applications
will your resume have the right key words to get you short
listed for interview.
Your resume should be
designed to convince the reviewer in about 20 seconds
to not to move on to the next applicant.
Professional help
Most of us have basic word processing
skills: that is the easy part, what most people do lack is the
objectivity to proofread and edit their own
copy.
Eliminating risk is the right
approach: keep to a simple format plus ensure you get a
professional editing help to proof read your
final draft.
[Resume review and
testing services]
Make your
document easy to read avoid using
all or excessive capital letters,
keep your sentences to short paragraphs that are easy to digest.
Writing style
Magazine articles are an excellent
example to follow: first a clear heading, [your job title] followed by short,
sharp sentences of content that tells the recruiter what they
need to know with a minimum of words.
When your job application arrives
via email you are a guest: good manners count, so make sure you
do not send large attachments above 300kb except on request.
Web
based form applications
Many
companies have changed to online job registration: instant
online registration reduces spam, saves time reducing the cost
of hire, is virus free and in a simple text resume format.
Forms
eliminate the slow process of downloading email resumes; helps
to eradicate spam, more companies are using this faster method
of processing resumes.
Resume
format for forms
Resumes
with complex formatting like bullets, borders, graphics etc.
pasted into forms can lose complex formatting.
Forms
convert your resume to basic text; formatting such as columns,
bullets, borders, tables and graphics will be lost.
Over 80% of Fortune 500
companies now use online
recruitment methods:
this includes major
oil companies, project managers and employment agencies.
Test
your format
Make
a quick test: open your current resume in MS Word.
Next
use the (select all) command to copy your resume.
Then open
a new document in "Windows Note Pad" and use the paste command
to paste into the new document.
Should
this result is difficult to read or unreadable you need to use a
less complex format.
We suggest you open your
current resume in MS Word then save in Rich Text Format to
simplify formatting.
Rapid
hiring Decisions
Recruitment
today happens at blinding speed; in less than 20 seconds nearly
60% of all resumes are rejected.
Stop
this from happening to you, by making sure
you know what information employers need from online job applications.

Most hiring managers
use key word searches to shortlist applicants: this streamlines the recruitment process resulting
in a huge time-saving.
Making
email applications appears simple: but there are many problems,
recruiters are flooded with hundreds of resumes so you can be
rejected in seconds with no second chance.
Resume
style
Fortune
500 employers
seem to prefer a career summary on the first page: this should be followed by your
latest employer.
You
get hired for your technical skills: not your graphics, so
keep
it simple, text based skills searches totally ignore fancy graphics and
complex formatting.
Email resumes are
stripped of columns, tables etc to simple text for database
entry: so eliminate complex formatting that puts you at the bottom, not
the top of the pile of applicants.
RESUME
FILE NAME
Why
be like over
60% of job applicants who send their resume as resume.doc
or cv.doc.
Smith_John.doc
for example is more professional: by using your last name you will assist
companies to register your details, plus ensure error free electronic
filing.
Why
risk data entry errors?
You
cannot guarantee
data entry people
will spell your name correctly; or not confuse your last or family name.
Follow
the employer instructions
This
is great opportunity to convince the employer you
are capable of paying attention to detail; most companies are not
impressed by applicants who are not capable of following simple instructions.
Why
risk delay;
if
your application is not sent exactly as requested by the employer it will at be delayed,
go
right to the bottom of the pile, or be deleted.
CONTACT
DETAILS.
Employers
are just like you: they delete or forward emails, if you do not include
your email address in your resume your most important contact
detail can be lost or deleted.
Phone
contact is important but email is more convenient; you risk
losing jobs if employers decide not to phone you due to
different time zones.
We
recommend using your private email address; you may change
employers is one reason, but more important is privacy.
For
example: say your private email is bill00nn@.aol.com,
you then name
your resume resume.doc
then send your application using your work email.
This
a very common fault: very confusing as there is no relationship at all between any
of this information, should these documents or email ever become separated
employers will have difficulty making contact.
APPLICATION
LETTER
Combine your application letter and resume in one single document, it's quicker to
open or read, this eliminates the risk of two documents being separated or
lost.
Use the right keywords relevant to your skills:
both in your covering letter and your resume.
Key word skill searches of an employer database will now
also look in
your cover letter; this simple but effective method increases your chance
of an interview.
