Do you want to build a resume?

In a Single Page: RESUME

The hats have been tossed, the wines have been toasted and our dear good bye's have been said. Now, it's time for us to move forward into a world we've been waiting for so long! The real life, the real world, to find a job!

Exciting at it may sound (being all that "I'm finally free" feeling inside of you), the challenge of even getting yourself that first job interview is like finding a needle in a haystack! Well at least there's always a way to everything! And I want to share some tips in building up your best ticket to find a job...

A brief, well written, clean, and concise resume.

DISCLAIMER:

I'm not saying that this would guarantee you to land on a job, but this can help you organize your resume.

WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE: RESUME VS. CV

A Resume is a brief (NOT more than one to two page) summary of your skills, experience, and education. While a Curriculum Vitae or CV includes a summary of your educational and academic backgrounds as well as teaching and research experience, publications, presentations, awards, honors, affiliations and other details. In Europe, the Middle East, Africa, or Asia, employers may expect to receive a curriculum vitae.

WHY USE A RESUME? WHY NOT A CV?

My reason is "simplicity". In today's age of technological feats, time is the most expensive and most valued resource. Therefore, as HR Managers continue to value time, it is also important that we, as applicants should adapt to such circumstances. I guarantee you that putting up your resume won't land you on a job, but it lets you take a huge leap from no one to someone whom they'd put their time on for a chance of an interview.

WHAT RELEVANT INFORMATION SHOULD I INCLUDE?

According to the inforgraph above, I listed the four major things that are needed to be highlighted for your resume.

1. BASIC INFORMATION
2. WORK EXPERIENCE
3. EDUCATION
4. SKILLS
5. REFERENCES
6. EXPECTED SALARY

Here's a version of my resume for your reference.

HR managers nowadays are looking for candidates with relevant information. Some of which receives if not thousands, at least hundreds of resumes every single day. Getting your resume noticed would not only increase your chances of being on their list but also a step closer to getting that job as well.

How about you? What's inside your resume? Do you feel it's crowded with too much information? Or is it lacking with substance?
