Writing A Winning Job Resume

Your job resume will be the first part of you that a prospective employer will ever see. In this age of depressed economy and higher unemployment, you are likely to be competing against more applicants for any job. Because of this, it is important that you understand how to make your job resume stand out. Of course, on the surface, it might seem like the only thing you can really do is list your previous jobs and hope for the best. But by taking this approach these days, you will be limiting yourself. Instead, you should write a resume that causes a prospective employer to feel like they have to call you; you can do this by learning to make your resume stand out.

One of the most important elements of your resume is its design. This might seem like an odd place to begin - after all, you are applying for a job, not applying to be a document designer - but you have to consider the prospective employer's perspective. The person reading your resume has likely been at their desk for hours, poring over a huge pile of resumes. According to studies, each resume gets about 15-20 seconds of attention the first time through the pile. If your resume has small font or very little white space, it will not make tired eyes feel very happy. Instead, you should aim to design your resume in such a way that it sports clear headings and lots of white space. You might even encourage the tired eyes to spend more than 15-20 seconds on their first glance at your resume if you make it inviting and relaxing for them!

The next thing to consider is the qualifications and accomplishments section, which will go a long way in setting you apart from other applicants. Do not fabricate in this section, but do make sure you dig deep, uncovering things you might not have thought of off the top of your head. Think about everything that might lead a prospective employer to pick up the phone and give you a call, and include all of it in this section!

Finally, the section of your resume where you list your qualifications will be a big selling point. Use this section to set yourself high above your competition - those faceless others who might be applying. This section should be thought of as an advertisement; you should use this section to convince the prospective employer of all the reasons why they should "buy" you.

While job searching in these uncertain times can be frightening, it can become a lot easier when you follow these steps and write a winning job resume.
