Your résumé is entrusted with the responsibility for generating that all-important first impression.
Whether you are actively engaged in your job search or you are contemplating your next career move, it is always a good idea to have a current resume.
You would be surprised how many professionals do not have an impressive resume to go with their impressive career.
Spending just a little time reviewing the current trends can really make the difference in getting your resume noticed. This is your chance to sell yourself and highlight your accomplishments.
“Accomplishments” – this is the current buzz word. Your résumé should focus on what you have achieved and how you have benefited your organization. Employers are not interested in reading a list of job tasks. Use action verbs to describe what you do and add some meaning to this by describing the results. Including significant numerical figures can really help demonstrate your achievements.
