Question

how to make resume for job?

Answer 1

Unless you have an extensive job history with 20 jobs, the best resume is like a letter to an old friend. Tell what you have been doing with your life: your interests, your family, your pets, any jobs, your school. Then put your contact info at the bottom and turn it in.

Put a note at the bottom " I will show up on-time and i will work hard." That is all a boss cares about.

Answer 2

Resumes are a very important part in getting a job. And each resume is different to each job you are applying for. You need to fix and change your resume to the type of job you are doing and the company you are working with. There is no point in saying you can use a forklift if you are going to be an accountant right? Read the job description and get an idea from there.



Make sure in your resume you have your contact info with your name, address, phone number and email. Make sure your email is a professional one. something like [e-mail] is not acceptable. try an email that has your name in it (if its a popular name include your birthday year) example [e-mail]



Once your contact info is complete make sure you have an objective. The objective is basically the position you are applying for or the type of job you are looking for.



Include any skills and abilities you have that pertain to the job such as typing speed, computer programs, etc.



Include all of your education way back to high school.



Include any work experience related to the job.



Also include some references



make sure everything is all lined up and looks professional. use Microsoft Word's Resume wizard to help you out. Also a resume should be a page long so if you run out of room determine the least important stuff and omit that. Its a difficult process but once you get the hang of it is fairly easy.



Here is a copy of my resume to give you an idea of the whole thing.

Besides setting all margins to 1", the most important criteria for setting up a professional resume besides relevant text, is "scanability." Here are some helpful tips:



1. Place just below your identification header [your hame, address, phone, email address] any Conditional Warning Statement such as "Confidential Resume,"Do Not Contact Current Employer," etc.

2. Always fill-in an Objectives category [just below the Conditional Warning Statement] and make sure that he Objective will contribute to the profitability of your future employer;

3. Select a mono-type font such as Helvetica, Arial, Courier or Times Roman; do not select any cursive handwriting styles which cannot scanned;

4. Keep font sizes within a range of 10 to 12 pts.;

5. Avoid styling text with a justified alignment, keep it flushed left;

6. Instead of using tabs to set up blocked text entries, generate a table and use the column and row settings accordingly;

7. Do not place an i.d. picture anywhere on the resume, this is a major taboo due to discrimination issues;

8. Do not place any graphic text [saved as .gifs] onto the resume since it may be overlooked during the scanning phase;

9. List at the very end of the resume your interests which should include travel experiences, language skills, social interactions such as golf, team sports, tennis, etc.



In conclusion, the above helpful hints were designed to allow ease of scanning of your resume into PDF which can then be text captured for seach purposes by your potential employer. If the original resume was created in Word, WordPerfect or Mac Appleworks, it can be Saved As a PDF file which then can be saved as an email attachment. Otherwise, you can simply use a scanner and scan a hard copy of the resume and then save as a PDF file.



Failure to conform the resume to appropriate fonts and styles as outlined above will result in rejection of the resume simply due to the inability of the scanning device to properly index relevant resume entries.



Good luck!
