The resume is primarily a means to sell your
capabilities and services. It is quite unlike a
Curriculum Vitae, the chronological list of work
and education experiences preferred in Europe and the Far
East. The Resume provides details of your skills
and experiences to a potential employer so that
he can see, in a short summary, how your skills
are relevant to the potential job and how you could
contribute something of value in your future
workplace.
A resume is your advertising and
selling tool.You might fulfill all the
requirements for a specific position, but your resume
fails if the employer does not, on the basis of what he
sees on it, immediately conclude that you are the person
for the job. Remember, your first priority is to create a
resume that attracts the readers immediate attention. The initial
twenty seconds will decide whether it ends up in the
"under consideration" or the
"rejected" file.
The
most effective resumes are focused specifically
on a job and address the potential employer's
stated requirements for the position.
The more you know about the duties and skills the
job demands the better you can organize your
resume around these requirements and the more
effective the resume will be. Hence, the
primary requirement for writing a good resume is
information about the job on offer. It
is not enough to regurgitate what you have done
in the past, since that information, with all its
accomplishments, skills and experiences is only
relevant within the requirements of the position
for which you want to be considered. |
|
The more you know about the
job and the employer the more likely you can "cut
the cloth to the right size" and create a resume
that explains how you will be an asset for your future
employer with the job he offers.

The cover letter is your introduction to a
potential employer. What you write in it is the first
impression the person gains about your, your capabilities
and your personality. Therefore everyone who sends out a
resume needs a cover letter. Whether you send it by mail,
e-mail, fax or delivered by hand, is immaterial.
Every job offered has different requirements
and it is therefore essential that you write a specific
cover letter for every job application. There is no such
thing as a "general cover letter".
Most potential employers see a general cover letter as a
sign of a lack of genuine interest in the job and, your
chances of being considered for the offered position will
be significantly hurt. Therefore, take the time and make
the effort to send a cover letter that is tailored to the
specific job and to the company you are applying
to.
Although, it creates additional work, the
positive side of the cover letter is that it provides you
with an additional chance to emphasize what you have to
contribute to the job, the company or organization.
Remember, the person looking at your submission will ask
himself: "How can this person help
us?" Your cover letter has to answer
that question in your own words. Your resume will provide
the detailed support of the answer.
The
Essential Rules for creating an effective Cover Letter
The cover
letter is one of the most important documents in an
application, because it is the first contact you
make with your prospective employer. Therefore,
spend some time on its design and wording. Below are some
basic rules that you should follow!
![](images/BA61.gif) |
Is
is important to get the hiring manager's name so
that you can address your application to a
specific person. If you send your
resumes uninvited to the personnel department,
make every attempt to find his details .
Sometimes a phone call will give you the
information about who makes the hiring decisions.
Be sure the person's name is spelled
correctly and that you have his or her correct
title. Address the person with his or
her proper social title, e.g. "Mr.,"
"Ms.," "Mrs.,"
"Miss," "Dr.," or
"Professor." Keep the Cover Letter
formal and to the point. |
![](images/BA61.gif) |
Write
the Cover Letter in your own words and
do not use a standardized "copied format
letter". Do not be chatty or too personal:
Keep it formal! In order to be effective, the
Cover Letter should transmit and highlight your
relevant experience, knowledge, enthusiasm, and
focus on the potential job in a logical and
systematic manner. Group the items you
specifically want to address and be concise
within each paragraph. |
![](images/BA61.gif) |
Indicate
in your Cover Letter that you have acquired some
knowledge about the company and/or the industry.
Do some research before you write the resume and
the cover letter. But keep the communication of
this knowledge within clearly defined limits. The
purpose of showing your potential employer that
you know something about them, is to make it
clear, that you did not pick the company at
random. You want to show the hiring manager, that
you know who they are and that you have
deliberately chosen them! |
![](images/BA61.gif) |
Use
language that is appropriate and relevant to the
employer. If you are applying for an
advertised position, use the advertised
requirements and work them into your resume or
cover letter, if necessary emphasize them in bold
script. Be sure to address the specific
requirements and shortly indicate how you can
fulfill them. |
![](images/BA61.gif) |
Do
not use slang, "Internet jargon ", or
other expressions which some people consider
"natural" (as opposed to
academic or formal!). Today, many
employers are seriously concerned about the
"sloppy" and inappropriate use of
language. They may deduce, once you
become an employee, you will communicate using
inappropriate language. On the other hand, do not
use words you picked from the Thesaurus without
being absolutely sure that you understand their
proper meaning and the context in which a word or
expression is used. If you are not sure about
your grammar, there are books you can purchase.
If you submit an application for an international
job, remember that writing styles and grammar
differs from one English speaking country to
another. |
![](images/BA61.gif) |
The
Cover letter must not have
any spelling or typing errors.
Have it read by someone else and checked before
you send it. |
In addition to the wording, pay attention to
layout and the format of the cover letter. An experienced
human resources manager or recruiter, will be able to
deduce from the format and the layout of the cover
letter, whether you are a well, or poorly, organized
person!
We thought long and hard about this
question! After all, "everyone can write a
resume", so, why use someone else who is not
familiar with your particular circumstances and who does
not know your ambitions job wise? Maybe, the answer is in
this very sentence: In your own eagerness to present
yourself in the best possible light to a future employer,
you overlook what the employer sees or wants to see from
you! You present in your resume what you want, rather
than what the employer requires or what he is looking
for.
![Alibaba](http://www.tqlkg.com/1i103fz2rxvGIOIOMNLGIJMMPOQP) |
A professional
resume writer is not the prisoner of
his own representation. He or she looks at
the task of writing a resume in a neutral
fashion, dispassionate and with distance to your
own past. As a consequence, that resume writer
might see strengths and weaknesses that are not
seen as important by you. The distance creates a
balanced picture of yourself.
Most people argue that each resume
has to be written as a response to a specific
job, because only some of the things, you might
offer, will be useful in that job. Therefore, the
resume as a response to a job vacancy, has to be
tailor-made. That is absolutely correct! However,
if you start off with a well written generic
resume that projects your abilities and your
strengths, while it puts your weaknesses somewhat
in the background, you are starting out with an
advantage.

A Resume Appraiser,
as opposed to a writer, will look at you resume and
recommend, if required, changes. There are numerous free
sites for that, but you have to remember that the
business of the appraiser comes from resume writing and
the free appraisal is one way to get clients. That does
not reduce their usefulness in creating a good resume,
but you have to be aware of it.
There are a number of sites offering Resume
Writing Services. JobLine
International also has a team of highly
experienced resume writers that offer resume and Cover
letter writing. Below is a comparative analysis of some
of the services offered on the net. Click on the names on
the far left, if you want to know more. Prices may vary
from time to time.

Resume or
Curriculum Vitae Editing
If you do not want to spend the money for
a rewrite of your resume or CV you can always have it
edited. Remember, other people, especially those who deal
with resumes every day see other things than you, the
writer. Maybe what to you looks like some clever
statement is not so great when read by an outsider.
Resume editing is an effective way to have an "uninterested
third party" look at the impact of your resume.
And for US$ 49.00, you are certainly not losing a lot!
