Here are a few tips you should consider when writing a resume
- Use plenty of space in the resume - remember you don't HAVE to put in every single detail
- Unless your hobbies/interests are directly relevant to the job, remove them
- Positivity needs to gush out of your resume, and out of you to ensure success at interview
- Putting your photo on a resume is generally discouraged, and is not practically needed either
- If you are job-seeking, Keep a backup/ soft copy of your resume at all times. Perhaps even in your phone
- Your resume is a personal brand statement. It needs to have all that the interviewer is looking for
- Using gradients in the top of the resume for important points (like your name) is a quick way to look good
- Showing anger is not the same as getting angry. The former is required, the latter is not in corporate life
- A great resume has 2 clear objectives - to get you an interview call, to help you negotiate higher salary
- Too much information is not required in a resume. Avoid that temptation, and simply focus on the essentials
- A great resume is one that immediately stands out from the crowd and demands the reviewer's attention
- If you are not getting calls for at least 80% of the resumes you send out, it's time to upgrade that resume
- The font choices subconsciously create a particular impact in the mind - use this to your advantage
- Use industry specific logos liberally but intelligently in your resume
