Is Your Resume Trash or Treasure?
Your resume will be considered a Treasure, if an employer realizes your value in the first, one-third of the page; or first, ten to fifteen seconds. If the employer is unable to discover enough value, your resume could end up in their Trash. I have some resume basics I believe are crucial:
An Objective provides no value if you:
- State that your goal is the position for which you are applying – this is obvious
- State that your goal is to find new challenges, utilize your knowledge and skills, contribute to the company, etc. – these are hollow words that provide no proof of your value
A Professional Statement is best and presented just after your contact information (no heading). Ease of reading can be achieved in paragraph or bulleted formats; however, they must both be:
- Rich in keywords and facts that can be verified in the balance of your resume.
- Limited in fill words, such as: the, that, and, a, etc.
- Short and to the point, with details in the content of the resume.
- No personal pronouns, such as: I, me, my (as with the entire document).
If you are applying for positions in more than one job type or industry, multiple resumes with varied Professional Statements should be created. I recommend study of the job description to draw key words and phrases from your resume and create your Professional Statement.
Showcase accomplishments and quantify as much as possible, rather than list duties and responsibilities. Employers are looking for results you can bring to their company.
Keep the employer’s focus on text that spotlights You – not the formatting tools. Use lines of separation, bold and underlined text, and bullets to compliment your content – not overpower it. Hold your resume at arm’s length; if you see lines, headings, or bullets that jump out, pull and detain your eyes from the rest of the content, revisit your formatting options. For example, a heading should not be capitalized and underlined and bolded, since using one or two of those options would draw the eye and make your point. If your headings are clear, separation lines are not needed; your readers will understand the section has changed.
Education placement is controversial, but I consult the job description for my guideline. If specific education is required, the degree(s) you earned should be near the top of your resume, or noted in the Professional Statement. If the hiring manager or company have ties to the school/university, prominent placement of education could be beneficial. If you have earned college credit, do not list high school, unless the name of the school or recent accomplishments could be beneficial.
Stating “References provided upon request” is a waste of ink – it is a given that you will provide them if asked. If you are asked to include references with your cover letter and resume, provide them in a separate document. This allows you to send references only when needed, and your two-page (max) resume can accommodate valid accomplishments, education, and experience.
