The Curriculum
Vitae or Resume is a two-minute commercial about you.
It will
not get you a job … it may get you an interview
WHAT IS A RESUME?
· A summary of your work related information
WHAT IS A RESUME
FOR?
The employer wants to receive a concise, honest & relevant
summary of you. From reading the resume the employer wants to know:
· What are the skills and personal qualities of this applicant?
· Can this applicant do the job?
· Will this applicant fit
in?
You want to produce a document that makes you look as good
as possible. At the end of reading the resume you want the employer
to:
· Give you an interview (and after that )
· Give you a
job
STYLES OF RESUMES
The Chronological Resume (see example):
· Is the most common and conservative form of presentation
·
Is often preferred by small to medium sized organisations
· Arranges
your experience and education in reverse chronological order
·
Is good for demonstrating your growth and continuity in a single profession
· Is most suited to people who have not had long periods of unemployment
The Functional Resume (see example) :
· Organises the job-related
aspects of your background by the relevant functions you performed
· Headings relate more to your skills and competencies than employers
or job titles
· Indicates that you are capable of making a significant
change in your career
· Is well suited to students who have gained
valuable experience through a number of unrelated jobs and courses
· Uses a common resume style, with which most employers are familiar
and feel somewhat comfortable
· Is often preferred by large organisations
· Eliminates repetition of job duties
· Camouflages undesirable
characteristics such as; lack of career progress or continuity, job
hopping, lengthy/frequent unemployment, lack of required experience/education,
age
The Academic Resume:
· Emphasises academic qualifications,
articles published, books written (if any), conference papers delivered,
professional development
· Suited to academic staff or post graduate
students seeking an academic position
The Imaginative Resume:
This style is most effective for people who are seeking employment
in a field, which demands creativity and individuality, such as graphic
design, creative writing or marketing. Some employers however prefer
a more conservative resume style. You should research your companies
thoroughly to see if they are open to creative styles. This type of
resume acts as a mini-portfolio and can be impressive if well-designed.
The Combination Resume:
As there is no absolute right or wrong
in resume writing, you can combine the styles in any way which makes
your particular background look the best
SOME USEFUL TIPS FOR
A GOOD RESUME
· There is no one optimal style or format
·
Match the resume style to the company/position you want:
Conservative
company… conservative resume
· Presentation and clarity are very
important
· Be concise
· Include relevant and positive information
only
· Be honest, be able to explain/prove everything on your
resume. Remember your resume is often used as the basis of questions
in an interview
· Layout should be consistent and reader friendly
· Use clear type styles
· Use a reasonable font size for the
text (~ size 12)
· Avoid "font mania" - the excessive
use of different fonts, italics, bold, underlined, ETC!
· Not
cluttered – lots of white space
· Use bullet points and relevant
subheadings
· Use short statements in point form rather than lengthy
sentences or paragraphs
· Only use abbreviations that are widely
understood (Beware of technical jargon)
· Eliminate excessive
punctuation
· Check for spelling and grammatical errors
·
Have all indents in alignment
· Use a laser printer
· Page
breaks should not split lists, paragraphs, etc.
· Use A4 good
quality paper and usually pick subtle colours; white, buff, pastel
· Print on one side of the paper
· Use an A4 envelope for
posting
· Binders and fancy covers are seldom worthwhile
COMMON
RESUME HEADINGS
To know which of the following subheadings you
are going to use you have to know: Who is this resume for? Resumes
must be targeted to a particular employer, position or job type. It
is impossible to produce a resume without having such a focus. A one-size
fits all resume does not exist.
There are no specific headings
you have to use. You must select or invent headings that show you
in the best possible light and are relevant to the job for which you
are applying.
There is no particular order in which you must present
your information but one usually puts the most recent or impressive
information first.
