A resume is a first impression that a company gets of you. But how do we make an effective resume which can describe us in the best way possible.

1. Focus on position you apply for. For example: if position needed is a creative one, you can show your skill and creativity in your resume. However, if position needed is a secretary, you can show in your resume that you are neat and letter perfect.

2. Keep it short, clean and simple, so a reader is willing to continue reading and get a good picture of you from your resume.

3. Whatever happens, do not make any silly mistake such as misspelling, wrong name. It will give a bad impression of you and put you below standard. Check and recheck.

4. Put your valid and reachable contact number. Sometimes, human resources department only want to make one phone call. Therefore, put your valid and reachable contact number so you will not miss any important interview calls.

5. It should be an honest resume but mention the contributions that you can make to the company.

6. Avoid using jargons, complex words or phrases. Remember that the person who reads your resume may not understand what you are talking about.

7. Remember resume is a tool kit to sell you. So, prepare your resume seriously.

A resume is not just the history of your past and present. A great resume is your ticket to get closer to your dreams. So, What are you waiting for?
