The resume should be tailored for each specific job by focusing on how the applicant can address the employer's needs.

If anything goes along with your resume or CV when you are trying to apply for a job, it is nothing but a brief document of yourself, known as a cover letter. It gives a more thorough description of your experience, skills, and overall appropriateness for the job role. When you register for a beginner level application, forming a cover letter can be a dare because you may not have adequate work experience. Nonetheless, it’s completely fine to mention your voluntary work experience in your cover letter only if it’s related to the job that you are registering to. After all, interviewers for beginner positions keep in mind that this might be your first interview. In other words, it is an implement to help introduce yourself in a memorable, unforgettable and personal way during a job application.

INTRODUCTION

“Begin somewhere. You cannot build a
reputation on what you intend to do.”
~ Liz Smith
4. First, you must select the kind of resume to use. There are a number of options. For
the purpose of this article, we will focus on three: the chronological, the functional,
and the combination resumes. The chronological resume’s main body is composed of
a list of jobs and experience going reverse chronological, with your most recent job
first. This kind of resume is often the preferred for those hiring, and is best suited for
workers with long, steady, and related job histories. For those with a more off-and-on
work past or those changing careers, the functional resume is often the better choice,
focusing in on a list of relevant skills and experience rather than actual job history. For
the most versatility and coverage of all options, the combination resume uses both job
history and skill and experience to make its point.
There are a few central sections to build in your professional resume. First, as a
header, you need your contact information: full name, house address, home and cell
phone numbers, and e-mail. Following the header should be a basic tagline or head-
line, a short phrase describing you as a career worker with some specific highlighted
skill. After the tagline comes the resume objective. This objective should be as detailed
and plainly stated as possible, focusing in on your goals for the job to which you are ap-
plying, how this will help you with your professional skills, and, potentially, what posi-
tion you want to rank at eventually in the future.
Following your objective, it is time for you to fill out your main body, whether it be a
listing of skills and experience, a chronological job history, or both together. Be clear,
concise, and focused on the skills and keywords that will put you in the best light for
the particular position to which you are applying. Use bullet points, action words, and
clear numbers with logical and professional abbreviations and symbols. Most of all,
highlight your strengths and be positive!

5. What To Include In a Résumé
A typical chronological resume should have the following sections
1. Contact Details
2. Professional Summary
3. Work Experience
4. Education
5. Publications
6. Skills/Qualifications
7. Certifications/Honors
8. References
Your contact details should be the first and most prominent item on your resume.
Your name should be in a large font and it should stand out from all the other text.
Along with your name, you should include your current mailing address, your phone
number and email address. If you have a personal website or an online portfolio web-
site, you can also include a link to that website.
A professional statement or a career summary provides an insight into what is unique
and competitive about you. A professional statement should be concise - either in the
form of a short paragraph or a bulleted list. It should discuss how your skills, educa-
tional qualifications and experience make you a good fit for the job you are interested
in.
Resumonk - Create A Beautiful & Professional Résumé In Minutes 4
6. List the information about the last one to five jobs that you have held, starting with
your current or most recent job to your first job. The listing should include the date
range of your employment, name of the companies or person(s) you have worked for,
and the city and state where the place of employment is located (full address of em-
ployment is not necessary). List your title and your main responsibilities, with empha-
sis on duties that are applicable to the type of work you are seeking.
List your college, graduate and post-graduate degrees, as well as certifications and
courses that you have taken. Your educational qualifications should also be listed in
chronological order starting with the most recent qualification.
Include details of any achievements, volunteer positions or publications that may be
relevant to your professional work experience.
Note that you should refrain from including personal information in your professional
statement. Information such as ethnicity, marital status and religious beliefs should
not be included in your professional statement. Also, it is essential that you avoid us-
ing generic phrases in your professional statement. Make your statement sound
unique and personalized. Refrain from using fluffy statements like "I am well organ-
ized and detail oriented".

7. Your resume is most important portion of your job applica-
tion. It is the first document that potential employers see,
and if they are not impressed, chances are they won’t look at
the rest of your job application. A good quality resume could
be the deciding factor in your job search success. In such
cases, you cannot afford to show potential employers a
poorly-formatted and visually unappealing advertisement of
your experience and skills.
RÉSUMÉ TIPS AND BEST
PRACTICES
CHAPTER
6
8. 1. Organize your resume properly
Your resume must be clearly organized. Separate out your resume into sections
and list out items in each section in a chronological order.
A typical chronological resume should have the following sections -
• Contact Details
• Professional Summary
• Work experience
• Education
• Publications
• Skills/Qualifications
• Certifications/Honors
• References
2. Use adequate whitespace
Make sure that your resume is legible and appropriately spaced. A resume with a
lot of words jammed together is almost impossible to read. Likewise, a resume
with lots of empty space and too few words looks flimsy and unimportant. Your
goal should be to have an adequate mix of white space and words.
Resumonk - Create A Beautiful & Professional Résumé In Minutes 7
9. 3. Use consistent line spacing
Be consistent in your use of line spacing. It is recommended that you use a dou-
ble line spacing between headings and the body of text and a single space within
sub-headings.
4. Use consistent vertical alignment
When indenting text, make sure that your vertical alignment is consistent. Use ei-
ther tabs or spaces. Having a mix of tab stops or spaces in different sections can
ruin the appearance of a well-written resume.
5. Choose the right keywords
Many companies use a automated resume filtering software that looks for specific
keywords in a resume. It is crucial that your resume has the keywords that the
HR department is looking for. Read the job description carefully and include the
details that the recruiter wants to hear from you.
Resumonk - Create A Beautiful & Professional Résumé In Minutes 8
10. 6. Use full pages
Make each page a full page. A partial page suggests deficiency and gives an im-
pression that information has spilled over onto the second page. In such a case,
try to compress your resume in one page. If the second page has considerable
amount of information, try to use the full page.
7. Use a serif font
Serif fonts (fonts with small line extending from the top and bottom) are much
easier to read on a computer screen. Use serif fonts if possible. Here is a list of
some common serif fonts -
• Century Schoolbook
• Courier
• Times New Roman
• Times
If possible, refrain from using monospaced fonts like Courier as these fonts are
difficult to read.
Resumonk - Create A Beautiful & Professional Résumé In Minutes 9
11. 8. Never use all uppercase letters
Never use all-caps (all uppercase letters) in your resume. It makes your resume
almost impossible to read.
9. Use italics and boldfacing to add emphasis
Use italics and boldfacing moderately to make certain sections more evident. Re-
frain from underlining text as it makes your resume lose some visual clarity.
10. Make your resume clear, concise and to the point.
HR managers spend less than 20 seconds scanning a resume and they might dis-
card your resume if they find it too vague. Make sure that your resume is concise
and pertinent. Avoid including irrelevant information. Arrange your information
in such a way that the most important points are easily visible.
Resumonk - Create A Beautiful & Professional Résumé In Minutes 10
12. 11. Use effective job titles
Since you get less than 20 seconds to showcase your qualifications and accom-
plishments to your potential employer, make sure that your titles stand out. Try
to make them as descriptive and attention-grabbing as possible.
12. Write a Focussed Profile Section
Include an effective and focussed Profile section. This section should be such that
it grabs the readers attention. Use this section to indicate what you hope to do for
the company. Using a bulleted list is preferred.
13. Proofread it at least twice
It is hard to overstate the importance of proofreading your resume. Read your re-
sume twice and look out for common spelling mistakes or grammatical errors.
Also get help from a friend if possible.
Resumonk - Create A Beautiful & Professional Résumé In Minutes 11
13. 14. Showcase accomplishments instead of responsibilities
In the Experience section, highlight your achievements and accomplishments in-
stead of listing out your duties and responsibilities. Also, whenever possible, pre-
sent your work experience as challenges or problems solved. A recruiter would al-
ready know the responsibilities of the job but would be more interested in what
you have done for your previous company.
15. Consider quantifying your achievements
Wherever possible, use numbers to quantify your achievements. Statements like -
"Increased the revenue by 20%" add more credibility to your resume.
16. Use Bulleted Lists
No recruiter has the time (and the patience) to read large paragraphs of text de-
scribing your work profile. Instead, make use of bulleted list that describe your
scholastic accomplishments, your work experiences and objectives in short sen-
tences.
Resumonk - Create A Beautiful & Professional Résumé In Minutes 12
14. 17. Include a professional profile
Including professional goals can help you by giving employers an idea of where
you are going, and how you want to arrive there. You don’t need to have a special
section devoted to your professional objectives, but overall the resume must com-
municate it. The question of whether or not to highlight your career objectives on
the resume is a polemic one among HR managers, so go with your feeling. If you
decide to list them, make sure they are not generic.
18. Prioritize your resume content
When ordering your resume sections and the items inside each section, make
sure that the important section is presented first. Also prioritize your statements
by the order of their importance, relevance and impressiveness.
19. Use appropriate font sizes
Make sure that that your fonts are big enough and are clearly readable. Preferably
use 12pt - 14pt font for the body and 24pt - 30pt font for headings.
Resumonk - Create A Beautiful & Professional Résumé In Minutes 13
15. 20. Avoid extraneous information
Information such as ethnicity, marital status and religious beliefs should not be
included in your resume. Avoid fluffy statements like - "I am well organized and
detail oriented". Also refrain from using statements like "References available
upon request.
21. Only include relevant skills
Only include those skills that are relevant to the job you are applying for. Merely
stating all your skills will not catch the attention of a recruiter, also make sure to
explain how your skills make you a good match for the job.
22. Do not include picture/photo
A potential employer is more interested in your scholastic accomplishments and
your work experience than looking at your picture. Avoid attaching a photo/
picture with your resume unless the recruiter has specifically asked for it.
Resumonk - Create A Beautiful & Professional Résumé In Minutes 14
16. 23. Customize your resume for each job
The most common mistake made by job seekers is to create one generic resume
and send it out to all job openings. Customize your resume for each job applica-
tion. Make sure that your resume has the keywords that the recruiter is looking
for.
24. Only include relevant work experiences
Refrain from listing out unrelated work experiences in your resume. If you are ap-
plying for a software developer position then including your part-time job as a
car-mechanic does not add any value to your resume.
25. Never lie on your resume
Never, never, NEVER lie on your resume. If you don't have any relevant work ex-
perience then include your summer internships or volunteering work; if you don't
have a college degree then mention any non-credit courses that you took. What-
ever you do, just don't lie on your resume.
Resumonk - Create A Beautiful & Professional Résumé In Minutes 15
17. 26. Get someone else to review your resume
Even if you think you resume is looking kinky, it would be a good idea to get a sec-
ond and third opinion about it. We usually become blind to our own mistakes or
way of reasoning, so another people will be in a good position to evaluate the over-
all quality of your resume and make appropriate suggestions.
27. Resume length - One or two pages
It is recommended that you try to limit your resume to one page. A shorter re-
sume is generally preferred but don't remove relevant information in order to
make your resume shorter. Use as many pages as needed to highlight your accom-
plishments and qualifications but set the upper limit at three pages.
28. Don't mention your hobbies
Your potential employer is not interested in knowing that you like reading books
or that you enjoy watching Dexter. Refrain from including hobbies in your re-
sume.
Resumonk - Create A Beautiful & Professional Résumé In Minutes 16
18. 29. Use action verbs
Action verbs can add emphasis to your resume and can help you catch the atten-
tion of a potential employer. Here is a list of some common action verbs:
30. Keep your resume up to date
Ensure that your resume is kept up to date. Keep adding any courses, certifica-
tions or volunteering work on a regular basis. This can save you from having to
send an obsolete resume to an employer.
31. Don't blindly copy sample resume templates
There are a lot of sample resumes available online. If you are using a sample re-
sume, ensure that you customize and personalize it.
Resumonk - Create A Beautiful & Professional Résumé In Minutes 17
administered analyzed appointed contacted
conveyed convinced standardized studied
upgraded utilized Transcended Transformed
19. 32. No jargon or slang
Your resume should sound professional. Refrain from using slang. As far as tech-
nical jargon is concerned, the HR manager or employer who does an initial re-
view of a resume might not be aware of what you are talking about. A recruiter
would also not want to spend time researching about the words you that used.
For this reason, avoid using tech jargon in your resume.
33. Don't use pronouns
Your resume, by default, talks about you, your qualifications and your achieve-
ments. Therefore, pronouns like "I" or "Me" are redundant and should not be
used in your resume.
34. Highlight your contact information
Your name should be at the very top of your resume. It should be in a large font
and preferably boldfaced. Ensure that your contact details, especially your email
address and phone number are correct and clearly listed.
Resumonk - Create A Beautiful & Professional Résumé In Minutes 18
20. 35. Use A Design That Grabs Attention But don't go overboard
It is vital that your resume is well formatted and visually appealing. Large blocks
of misaligned text with varied font sizes can ruin your resume. Ensure that your
resume is organized into relevant sections and that each section title stand out.
Use some colors (set the limit at two) to add more emphasis but don't go over-
board with the design. Refrain from using unreadable fonts and fancy back-
ground images.
36. Spend time on your resume, do some research
Crafting a solid resume can be a tedious and time-taking process. Take your time
in coming up with a resume. Prepare rough drafts and ask your friends/
colleagues for suggestions.
While checking your drafts, focus on the content as well as the formatting.
There are lots of books, websites and tools that provide sample resumes. Use
those sample resumes as a starting point for crafting your own resume
Resumonk - Create A Beautiful & Professional Résumé In Minutes 19
21. 37. Know your potential employer.
Before sending in your resume, do a bit of research about the position you are ap-
plying for. This will help you assess whether you are qualified for the position or
not. Also gather as much information as you can about the company that you
want to work for. Read about the employer's (company's) mission, vision state-
ments, goals and approach. Also try to assess the working environment of the
company.
38. Use a good printer and good quality paper
If you are sending out a hard copy of your resume, make sure that you use a good
quality printer and good quality paper.
39. Mention people you have worked for
If you have had the experience of working with top executives in your industry,
mentioning their names in your resume might help you gain some credibility.
Apart from mentioning them in your resume, you can also ask them for a refer-
ence.
Resumonk - Create A Beautiful & Professional Résumé In Minutes 20
22. 40. Supplement your Education with courses and certifications
Your educational qualifications is a vital part of your resume. However, simply
stating the kind of degree that you have achieved is not sufficient. It is recom-
mended that you supplement it with the important courses that you took and
how those courses would help you with the job you are applying to.
Resumonk - Create A Beautiful & Professional Résumé In Minutes 21
23. The words that you use to describe your work history, your
skills and qualifications can be the differentiating factor be-
tween an impressive and a non-impressive résumé.
Action verbs are words that are inherently eye-catching and
can attract more of your potential recruiter's attention. Ac-
tion verbs can make even the most mundane work experi-
ence and accomplishments sound valuable and important.
