A professional resume is completely different from the one used to land an entry-level role, and most people don't know how to bring themselves up to that level. ResumeTarget.com has worked with professionals across North America for the last 14 years, to help them land their next role. They have now created an infographic to outline the DO'S and DON'TS for writing a resume for an $80,000+ role.
Infographic Fact Points:
- Do not use an objective statement because it is outdated and ineffective - use a branding statement instead
- Branding statements show the unique value that you have to offer the organization
- Recruiters spend only 6 seconds reviewing an applicant's resume before deciding to read further or to trash it
- The likelihood of a person screening your resume goes up in proportion with the importance of the position
- Don't go back further than 10 years in your career history - the world has changed drastically in the last decade so what you did 10 years ago has no bearing on your role today
- Outline your achievements, not your duties and responsibilities - ask yourself these questions:
- Have you introduced a new system?
- Cut Costs?
- Managed during a time of cutbacks?
- Did your company's market share increase while you were in the position?
- Include relevant community involvement that reflects skills from your career
- Karate master? Shows dedication and follow-through
- Big Brother? Shows you're a good mentor
- Competed in high level of sports? Shows you can overcome adversity and compete
- Don't discuss irrelevant hobbies like your pet dog
