- Good design will interrupt your recruiter’s systematic mental pattern when evaluating your resume. Good design will force your recruiter to stop in their tracks, admire what’s in front of them, and carefully consider the words on the page. Your chances of getting into the ‘maybe’ pile improve – along with your chances of getting a callback, an interview, & hopefully a job.
- 1. A photo with a four-legged friend. Unless you’re a veterinarian, don’t post a photo with your pet – as cute as (s)he might be. 2. A group shot. You need to post a solo shot. Otherwise how will people know who you are? Also, are your sure your friends want to be represented on your professional profile? 3. An unprofessional photo. Are you at the beach, a night club or running a marathon? While you don’t need to be in your "Sunday’s best," you do need to keep it professional. No bikinis, sports jerseys or cleavage. 4. A pixelated one. Are you copy and pasting from a friend’s photo that comes out too pixelated or stretched out? You don’t want to resemble a fun house mirror. The whole idea of posting a photo is to put your best face forward. Have a friend take a few snapshots of you as opposed to resorting to a distorted photo. 5. Not having a photo. The worst photo faux pas you could do is get stuck without a photo. People with a photo are seven times more likely to get viewed. Don’t lose out because you’re too shy to show your face. What if you were buying a home? Would you make a bid without seeing a photo? Same goes for choosing a new client or connection.

- This is the section of your resume where you highlight your skills and accomplishments related to relevant positions you have held in the past or you currently hold. When you are marketing your various skills and abilities there are a number of resume norms you need to consider. There are ways to market your skills and hiring managers expect to see accomplishment statements and action verbs in a resume. Works experience is one of the most meaningful sections of your resume. This section must show that you actually did what you said that you did. In this section, describe what you did when you had a specific job title- emphasizing your skills and achievements. Be sure to mention how your skills made a difference. For each entry give the job title, name and location of the organization, dates of employment and a brief description of your accomplishments. You can use accomplishment statements to help detail your skills and accomplishments.
- In the professional work experience of your resume you will want to craft statements that reflect your knowledge, skills, tasks and accomplishments for each position you have held. One way to do so is to use the PAR or A+B=R structure. PAR stands for Problem, Action & Result and A+B=R stands for Action + Benefit = Result. These are both sometimes called accomplishment statements. These type of statements demonstrate your ability or qualifications and validate your experience and ability in solving particular problems or addressing challenges. These statements ultimately help the hiring manager see how your contributions can benefit their organization. For example: Resolved employee grievances by introducing dispute resolution process, lowering grievance rates by 50% in the first year. Reduced overall purchasing costs by 10% in 2001 by implementing product locator, and cost comparison software programs. Recruited, screened and hired 20 technical and sales positions for start-up company. Successfully organized team in 3 months, exceeding expectations and allowing company to launch new product line 6 months earlier than expected. Facilitator should get work experience resume statements from attendees and demonstrate the PAR or A+B=R model and how basic statements can be transformed into resume accomplishment statements. Facilitator can use the two optional activity handouts (Handout # 5)-Structuring your PAR Statements and (Handout #6)-How to Write Action-Benefit Statements as well.
- A skills section should include specific and accurate words that match the skills sought by the potential employer. You should only list the skills that you can actually perform. Avoid listing every skill you have – especially if the skill is not relevant to the targeted employer or position. You can break up the skills section with sub-headings to organize the types of skills and make it easier for the potential employer to make effective candidate selections. For example, Technology, Management and Interpersonal can be skill subheadings. Skills listed in this section should enhance but not duplicate the job duties that are described by action words/phrases within the job duties written in the Experience Section. Words such as knowledge of, assisted, dealt with, worked with and handled should be avoided in both the Skills and Experience type sections. While many people recommend the skills section be placed at the bottom of a resume, if written and formatted well, the Skills Section can be placed in the upper portion of the resume, beneath the summary section. The location of the skills section will vary depending on your desire to highlight your skills over work experience or vice versa. Regardless of the location of the Skills Section on your resume, a well written Skills Section includes keywords sought by potential employers.
- We’ve all been asked that old interview question: Why should I hire you? Knowing the answer to this question is vital to succeeding with writing your resume and your job search.” Once you know what employers are looking for, you now have to know your skills and what you have to offer them. By understanding your skills and knowing how to write the value of your skills, you can write a resume that highlights how your skills fit the position you are applying for. For example: Look for common themes running through your career (are you the person who always comes in to clean up a mess? Or maybe you’re the person who always sees a better way to do things.) Ask co-workers or former managers how they would describe you. Look back over old performance reviews or reference letters and look for common themes.
