Resume – A Human Interface!!



  “First impression is your last impression” we are all aware of it. Isn’t it?
Yes, and it applies to your resume. How? A resume is a mirror of every person; it advertises the individual’s skills and ability. A document designed and utilized by an individual to showcase their background and skills to secure their employment. Thus, when an individual creates their resume, it presents a comprehensive picture of marketability. Everyone is not aware about it and you can say not much concerned about their resume. This is the reason why an individual fails to find a proper job, whereas the job of the recruiter becomes tedious.

I would suggest following things to make your resume effective and valuable.

  • Keep it simple, formal & concise; Avoid designing, colors, Excessive bold typeface.
  • Mention your relevant contact information on the top of resume.
  • Put career summary in place of objective; it will give your brief overview about what you do? Who are you? What is your career goal & How effective and efficient you work?
  • Don’t mention excessive information about your organization. A few lines mentioning the company name, website and basic information is sufficient.
  • Highlight your accomplishment with job description- A hiring manager needs to know how successfully and effectively performed your occupation and attained your target. Thus, be exact and clear.
  • Specify your key skills and technologies you are well versed with. Don’t bloat your resume with things which you are not well-off.
  • Many organizations give a lot of preferences to education detail so, it’s very important to tell about your academic background with other certifications. Always put your recent degree/certification first.
  • Do not describe your family information no one is probably interested in it, if hiring manager wants to know much about it he will ask at the time of interview.
  • Last but not the least put your resume file name short and simple e.g. Name-2014.docx

Generally a resume get scanned in 25 seconds and it is difficult to scan if it is too lengthy with heavy design. Remember these points and implement in your resume.
