Learn to Write A Resume Better

by Olive Murtaugh on July 1, 2009

If you need help in learning how to write a resume, there is a good chance that you are not the only person to need such help. Considering the fact that there are so many people today looking for a job it can certainly be a good idea to get some help in learning how to write a resume that is effective. Even if you currently have a job and are not looking for one, it still will not hurt anything to make sure that you know how to write a resume just in case.

The most important thing that you need to know about how to write a resume is that you need to have all of your career information together when writing a resume. This is a critical mistake that many people make. They are not sure of dates and other information so they decide to just leave it out and leave those areas blank. Keep in mind that when you write a resume and you leave important areas blank, it causes employers to wonder why those areas are not filled in. In almost all cases you will be competing with many, many other people for the same job position. If the other resumes that are submitted have been appropriately completed then your chances of getting a call for an interview will be slim.

You also need to make good use of action words and keywords when you write a resume. Take care to focus your resume on your acheivements rather than your responsibilities and duty list. Match the keywords on your resume to the keywords on the job listing when appropriate. This will help to show that you are a great person to fill the job position.

Another thing to keep in mind is to make sure you are not too repetitive when writing your resume. When you repeat phrases and words too often in your resume it causes your resume to be boring. Any resume that is boring or plain will get tossed in the trash and will not result in an interview. Always review your resume to be certain that you have not overly used any phrases or words.

Finally, make sure that your resume is customized to the field or the position that you are applying for. You should never write a resume that is generic and send it in, not if you really want to land the job. Writing a customized resume specifically for the job that you hope to be hired for will give you the best opportunity for getting an interview and being hired.
