2. Résumé Content
iv. Eliminate
unnecessary information from your résumé. For
example, a student enrolled in an undergraduate degree programme need not detail
his/her CXC passes. The employer would be more interested in core modules
covered in the degree programme which would bare great relevance to the job.
v.
Do not
clutter your résumé
with excess words. Résumés are not generally written in sentence form
but rather in concise phrases. Please consider these examples that would fall
under “Work Experience”:
Instead of writing:
·
I was hired
to develop the company’s website and database
It is completely
acceptable to write:
·
Developed the company’s website
and database
vi. Avoid acronyms and jargons.
v. Use résumé power verbs to emphasize your achievements. These words
include managed, collaborated, implemented,
advanced, engineered,
formulated conceptualized and strengthened etc.
vi. Whatever
you place on your résumé should represent you greatly. Write with
confidence and ensure that your résumé is
error free. Where possible, seek professional help to review your résumé. Let the employer know that you are a confident prospective employee!
