Affordable Resume Experts Explain How To Write an Effective Resume

SAN FRANCISCO - Nov. 13, 2014 - PRLog -- California November 13, 2014/Affordable Resume Experts/- Have you had problems writing your resume and just don't know where to start? Well you are not alone! So many job seekers try to do this on their own and continue to fail in making that impression that is so badly needed to do a successful job search. The best way to start your resume is to determine how you want your resume to represent you for a specific type of job that you are searching for. In other words, focus on your chosen career path and your skills. Ask yourself what is this company really looking for in a resume/employee. Well, they are looking for what you have accomplished at other companies and what you have achieved in your past. They are searching for these particular details because they want to know what you have to offer to their company. Doesn't that make sense to you? They are not looking for a resume that looks like a text message or a ten pager that is solid bullet points either.

Somehow and somewhere there became this new rule on resumes that you needed bullet points - well you do, but not every line of your resume. They are supposed to point out something significant and to bring attention to some very important information. But, the average person has become so accustom to writing a resume with their name on top followed by that same old one-line objective on how they want to utilize their skills and grow with the company and then... This is followed by two - five pages of one-line bullet points. What ever happened to having value? The bullet is supposed to give significance to a few brief statements, you want to bring the employers attention to something special and to what you have to offer to them.

The smartest and most effective direction on how to do a resume a job search would be to first create a strong presence and presentation. Start with a professional header with your contact info that stands out and impresses the reader; next you should provide a title in large bold font. If you are applying for a Customer Service/Sales position then make sure that they understand that, and have no question about which position that you are applying for. Next create a strong and powerful summary showing what you have to offer and what you have accomplished. Give a company no doubt on what you are applying for, make them want you, make them want to read more! Provide a statement of what you have to offer a company and what you have to put on the table. Follow this by an effective skill-set.

Now you have created the top have of your first page with some very strong information and you have now sold yourself with a great product (YOU)... What is next? Your work history is next on the list; give the basic information and follow each company by a brief job description, at least three to five sentences long. Then you can follow this by four to six bullets of some very strong accomplishments at this position. Do this with each company but try not to add to many jobs (this gives a negative effect). Try not to exceed three to five jobs on you resume, it gives the impression of job jumping. You may create a next section for education and then another for certificates and licenses; do not put your education in the first part of your resume!
