Resume Writing To Get That Job by mtzion: 6:22pm On Aug 23, 2012
There are a number of guides that go into the mechanics of resume writing so it is unnecessary to go through them here. However, very few of them go into the psychology of resume writing, and why it is sometimes so difficult to write the resume.

One key trick is this….

The resume is a 30 second commercial about you. It is not an autobiography.

If you think of the resume as an autobiography, then writing it becomes difficult because adding and removing things means making a commentary about your life. If it is a 30 second commercial, then it becomes much easier. You are coming up with a jingle, and the resume is a piece of promotional literature.

When you write your resume, think about it as your marketing tool and not only your personal document. Below are some tips and suggestions on how to write an attractive resume. Some of the main tips for writing a good resume are:

Use Titles/Headings that match the jobs you are applying for
Use an attractive design
Mention your skills, knowledge, and experience
Make a list of your training and education
Describe your accomplishment
Quantify and use power words
Analyze the job description to Identify key words
Tweak and target your resumes
