I know it's been a while since i posted something here. So here are some resume tips for all you job seekers out there. These are lessons i learnt through research and personal experience.
- Do not include a photo of yourself in your resume. The recruiters wouldn't shortlist you based on your appearance. Besides that is valuable space in your resume which you can use for highlighting more about your work or education.
- Do not include your address in the resume. We live in a time where all communications happen over emails. The recruiters wouldn't need that information. Besides putting your address in the resume puts you at risk because anybody can find where you live with a google search.
- Do not skip short internships which you feel are insignificant. Internships are those short term stints where learning is at the highest. It may also give the recruiters/interviewers more reasons to consider you.
- Share your resume with a few of your friends and ask them to share feedback. This shows how others see your profile and evaluate them. Ask them for reason why they would hire you and why they won't based on your resume.
- Ensure your resume is free of typos, get it reviewed for grammar and context while you are at it. This ensure that you are presenting yourself in the best light possible.
- Highlight your achievements and quantify them. This way the interviewer will make sense of the scale of your achievements.
Good luck!
