Tips to Update Resume
Match Your Skills With Your Dream Company"s Requirements: Conduct a research about the company, organization, job assignments, position description, and job announcement. Ensure to highlight your knowledge, skills, and abilities with an organizationò€™s need, mission, purpose, and goals. Make it as ò€œto the pointò€ and relevant as you can. Remember, the HR executive will not spend more than a minute reading all that!Add Your Current Achievements: Workshops, professional training, new courses, distance learning, accomplished projects or awards- anything that is new to you- enhancement to your existing skills.
Delete What"s Not Relevant: Do your first job still stands relevant? If not delete it. If, however, you see that they are still somewhat relevant then edit that portion. There"s no harm if your first position gets the least attention.
Update Personal Contact: Don"t forget to change your e-mail and cell phone number, if they need to be. If anyhow, in the past year, you have developed your own URL- add it. Personal blog? Add it only if it helps in evaluating you in relation to your job profile. Emotional write ups, film reviews and the like are not meant to help you professionally (of course if you are not in film or such other related jobs)
Give Your Resume Many Avatars: Your resume should be available in several formats -- e-resume, traditional format, text only, Microsoft Word, and a PDF. Each of these formats have their own use. They also reveal your technical savvy part to some extent.
Proofread Till You Exhaust: However confident you might be, proofread your updated resume time and again. Entering even a word means there"s a chance of error, if only in a word or a sentence. Get your friends and family to proof read it for you.
