A resume writing guide

When you are preparing for a new career step, you need to either create a resume or update the one you already have. Some people use the words resume and CV interchangeably; however, it is not right. CV is a short form for Curriculum Vitae, which is translated from Latin as “Course of (one’s) life.” In the USA, you need a CV when you are applying for a higher position in such fields as science, medicine or academia. As you can guess from the meaning of this word it should indicate a detailed educational background, all of your work history including training and internships and everything else that can demonstrate your credibility. That is why it sometimes can be 3 or 4 pages long. On the other hand, the goal of your resume is to quickly communicate your professional story and key skills. It should be a summary of your experience, accomplishments, and qualifications as well as skills that are attractive to your potential future employer. We see how it can be confusing and that’s why it is recommended to delegate this important part of the job seeking process to a professional resume writer. The certified writers know all the ins and outs of writing a great resume or CV, and will surely be able to help you.

Formats for your Resume

To get started, you need to choose a proper format for your resume. There are three most widespread.

Chronological Resume

Lists your work experience in reverse-chronological order.

This format is the best if you have great employment history and want to show how you’ve advanced in your career

The following is a list of the most common fonts used for resume writing:

Arial
Calibri
Cambria
Constantia
Corbel
Franklin Gothic
Garamond
Georgia
Gill Sans
Helvetica

A recommended font size is 10-12. It’s always better to double-check and make sure that the text is not too big or too small.

Here is an example of a well-written resume. Let’s look at it and see what information we need to provide in every section.

Contact Information

The first section of any resume is your name and your contact information. You don’t need to include your full physical address. Today, since most communication during hiring process takes place online it’s not necessary to include it. All you need at the top is your name, email address, and your phone number.

Summary

A summary is a good way to sum up your professional background and aspirations. Imagine that you need to answer the question of how you would describe your work experience in one sentence and why you are a good fit for this position.

Education

You can keep this section at the top or at the bottom. It’s recommended to keep it at the top if you are early on in your career or if your degree is an absolute requirement for the job. Otherwise, move it to the bottom if you have more work experience. The general rule with the education section is that you should only include the highest level of education as well as any licenses and certifications that are relevant to the job you are seeking. It’s optional to include your GPA if it’s higher than 3.5, but it’s only necessary to include this for jobs where the employer has specifically asked for it, or if this is your first job out of college.

Work Experience

The next section is your work experience. It is typically the longest section of your resume and should demonstrate that your past employment has qualified you for your next job. Here, beginning with your most recent job, you should list your most relevant work experience from the last ten to fifteen years. Include the name of the employer, your job title, years of employment and a few bullet points with your strong and most relevant accomplishments. Use strong action verbs and list accomplishments rather than tasks because employers are more interested in your achievements and not just the tasks you’ve done. When possible, also use numbers to measure your success. There are at least three different ways to measure your work:

1. People. Did you lead a team of people or make it possible for a task to be accomplished by fewer people?

2. Time. Did you speed up a process to get to a result more quickly?

3. Money. Did your work lead to sales, revenue or cost savings?

If you don’t have much work experience or if you are aiming at transition careers you might want to include your volunteer positions in this section.

Skills

Next, it is important to add skills to your resume because that’s where you can highlight your profile by keywords that employers are looking for. Depending on how relevant certain skills are to a job description, you can place skills above or below work experience. In general, there are two types of skills: hard skills and soft skills. Hard skills are abilities that are specific to your job (such as using specific software, speaking a foreign language, etc.). Soft skills, also known as ‘people’ or social skills are the abilities that can be applied in any job. They include proficiency in communication or customer service. You need to carefully analyze the job description to find out which skills the employer values most.

Soft Skills Examples

Communication

Listening
Negotiation
Writing reports and proposals, etc.

Critical thinking

Adaptability
Critical observation
Flexibility, etc.

Leadership

Conflict management
Decision making
Motivating, etc.

Positive attitude

Confidence
Enthusiasm
Respectfulness, etc.

Teamwork

Collaboration
Emotional intelligence
Interpersonal skills, etc.

Work ethic

Business ethics
Competitiveness
Working well under pressure, etc.

The final step of resume writing is to carefully proofread to catch any mistakes. We also encourage you to ask more people to look at your resume, because they will most likely catch anything you might have missed. But of course, the best option would be to ask a professional to check and evaluate your resume. It’s their job to make it perfect and to know all those little details about the resume writing process. We recommend you take advantage of their expertise.

In conclusion, let’s bullet point some of the tips that have been given above.

Since the goal of any resume is to quickly show that you are a great candidate for a position, include only the relevant level of education, work experience and skills.
Don’t be too wordy, because employers should quickly understand all the necessary information about you.
Use numbers and action verbs so that your potential employer could evaluate your importance for the company.
Use keywords from the job posting in your resume.
Proofread your resume several times and ask someone else to look at it for you.
