  • Would you like to land a better position at your current employer, but don't have an up-to-date resume?
  • Are you missing out on job opportunities you are qualified for because your resume isn't doing an effective job of presenting your experience and accomplishments?  Are you applying for positions where 100's of applicants are competing for one opening and your resume and cover letter alone will determine whether you will be contacted for an interview?

A Quick Guide for your First Step Resume Writing

 
Why You Need a Great Resume


Your resume communicates your qualifications and your brand—who you are and what makes you different—to employers and recruiters. In a tough job market, you need a resume that helps you stand out in a sea of applicants.
A great resume:
  • Grabs the attention of employers and recruiters
  • Sells your strongest skills and accomplishments
  • Shows why you’re a potential match for a position or project
  • Communicates both your current capabilities and future potential
  • Helps you take the next step in your career
  • And most importantly, gets you the interview!
Before you get started, it's important to know that resume writing has changed considerably in recent years. Because of fierce competition for jobs and other factors, there's now a much stronger emphasis on marketing.
Writing Your Resume


Once you've completed your research and settled on a job target, it's time to put your resume together. Since your resume is organized in sections, we start by explaining what these sections are and why they're important.
  • Understand the basic elements. A resume consists of several sections, each of which delivers essential information to your readers.
  • Select the right resume format. Depending on your background or goals, you'll want to emphasize some things and de-emphasize others.
  • Write a first draft. Assemble the basic sections of your resume, highlighting your skills, accomplishments, and other aspects of your brand.
  • Edit and proofread. Your first draft should be just that—a first draft. Take the time to edit so it's complete and clear. Then proofread carefully!
  • Design for easy reading.  You don't need anything elaborate. But you do need a resume that's attractive and easy to scan for information.

Top Resume Strategies


It’s easy to create a resume that looks like everyone else’s. But to win that interview, you need to go further. Here are four strategies that take you beyond the standard, cookie-cutter resume and get you noticed.
  • Sell yourself and your brand. Make it easy for employers to pick you. Communicate who you are, what you offer, and what makes you different from other applicants.
  • Identify your transferable skills. Your transferable skills are a major selling point that sets you apart from other job seekers. Make sure you know yours.
  • Highlight your accomplishments. Anyone can list duties and responsibilities, but accomplishments give you credibility. They also help your resume come alive.
  • Use keywords effectively. The specific words you use in your resume are critical for communicating your value, both electronically and in print. 

How to Write a Great Resume for Career Change

 
Writing a resume for career change can be a daunting prospect. How do you present your past and current experience in such a way that it appeals to hiring managers in a totally different field? Would-be career changers often get discouraged and give up at this point, while others make futile applications using their old resume and never hear back.

The good news is that there are many ways to tackle this problem. As a resume writer, I work with career changers all the time – here are a few of my favourite resume secrets.
Don’t use a functional format!
Understand the employer’s needs and concerns and show how you can address them.
Communicate your passion and dedication
As you research resume writing for career change, you’ll no doubt come across various articles recommending that you use a functional resume
This is the term given to a resume that doesn’t follow the traditional chronological experience formula. Instead, experience is presented in terms of skills, with only a cursory reference to career chronology (usually placed at the end of the resume). The theory is that this resume structure will demonstrate your transferable skills without the distraction of seeing that your job titles are in another field.
The problem is that every recruiter and hiring manager in the world knows what a functional resume is and why it is used. Therefore, the trick won’t work. In fact, speaking as someone who has made hundreds of hiring decisions, I can tell you that a functional resume usually hurts you. That’s because the recruiters know you’re using it to hide something.
So please – ignore the advice to use this type of resume resume (advice which is only ever given by people who haven’t hired anyone) because it will cost you opportunities.
So if you can’t use tricks, what can you do?
Every employer has specific needs in mind when they look for a new employee. In part they’ll usually want experience and, if you’re changing careers, you may not have this. But they’ll also have specific requirements about personality, ethics, work style, level of commitment, and soft skills such as communication or teambuilding.
To understand what these might be, study your target profession to understand that drivers of success. And when you’re applying to a specific company, get to know that company inside and out, so you know what personality traits and soft skills matter most. This will help you write a resume that appeals to hiring managers and HR folks at that company, even when your experience is less than ideal.
Present freelance and unpaid work as if it were a full-time position. If you want to be a web designer but the only design work you’ve done has been for friends and family, it still counts as experience. It doesn’t matter whether they paid you or not. The point is you did the work and you need to show that on your resume just as if you had been compensated. (And if you don’t have any unpaid experience in your chosen field, now’s the time to get some!)
Your resume needs to show employers why they should take a chance on you. Too often, people want to change careers without having thought it through fully. Employers will worry you might be doing the same.
Emphasizing any and all experience will help, but also it’s important to make sure that your resume clearly communicates your passion for, and commitment to, this career change. That will go a long way towards convincing employers that you will stick with it over the long haul.
