Title: How to get a job!


1
How to get a job!
  • Useful tips on creating an effective resume
    working for you!

2
Design
  • Keep it simple. There should be no fancy things
    like smiley faces, hearts, etc.
  • The simplest it looks, the better. It has to be
    reader-friendly, which means no overloading with
    heavy paragraphs.
  • There should be neither glitter nor perfume on
    it (if you remember Legally Blond movie). If you
    are blond, no offense.
  • Make sure there are keywords and power words.
  • It has to be easy to read but it has to show how
    intelligent you are. Knowing foreign languages,
    having a driving license, second university
    degree or being a third-class sportsman will work
    for you.

Tips on how to put information into your resume
  • Try for all the points of your resume to be
    written down in one page.
  • Even though some might say it does not matter but
    imagine yourself in the shoes of an employer.
  • They do not need novels. They need to see who
    you are and what you are capable of.
  • No photos of your friends and pets are required.
    Lately it has become important to include your
    photo but nothing fancy, just so your face was
    seen like on your identification card.
  • Focus on your skills, achievements, all the job
    experience you had from the very first job.
  • It does not mean how long you worked for this or
    that company, it is an experience.
  • Include the courses you have been through and
    certificates you got afterwards because those are
    essential skills, which make you different from
    many other people looking for a job.

Anything will do
  • Make sure there are no huge time gaps between
    your job experiences.
  • Even though there are any, try to make them
    shorter just so there was no suspicion of you to
    spend all that time home doing nothing.
  • Volunteering job is a job too. It is also a job
    experience.
  • Plus it tells a lot about you as a person and it
    speaks good of you.
  • You do not need to put in any personal
    information though except for your name and
    contact information.

5
Recommendations
  • Sometimes we are asked whether there are any
    authorities, people who could recommend us so we
    got the position.
  • Those authorities might be your onetime bosses.
    See, it is another reason why you need to stay in
    good relationships with them.
  • Be sure there are no typos in your resume
    otherwise it will look unprofessional.
  • In addition, you need to have a few copies of it
    printed.
  • In spite of sending it through E-mail, you have
    to have it with you going for a job interview so
    it was in front of employers eyes.

6
One more thing
  • Avoid age, race or religion discrimination in
    your resume.
  • The information you include needs to be relevant
    otherwise it will go to no pile.
  • Do not lie in the resume.
  • The truth will be revealed anyway unless you are
    genius capable of learning new things you put
    into your resume within short period of time.

Good luck to you on the way to the job of your
dream!
