bodeoni:
Its not a bad idea if you are applying for a position in advertising, graphics designing or the likes. Otherwise, all this colour on a CV might just give the wrong impression. Its definately a bad idea if the resume is to be submitted to an Applicant Tracking System.

From the experts angle, each job requires its own version of cv which may be unique in format and structure.
For example. Seven up and Cocacola are of the same market. But it is not the best to write a cv, duplicate it exactly and submit to both companies.

Their objective, mission, vision, structuring are not the same

Have you ever applied for a job which you thought you were perfect for, only to find you've not been called for an interview? Perhaps you dealt with your disappointment by rationalising that the competition was simply too great, or by fuming at the employer's failure to recognise your capabilities.

It's certainly true that it's an exceptionally tough recruitment market and that recruitment processes are rarely faultless. However, when I talk to individuals in this situation, I usually find that there are two other reasons which explain why they have been rejected.

Either their application simply failed to demonstrate sufficiently why they were such a great candidate. Or they misunderstood the job, and they weren't as good a fit as they thought they were.

Here are some tips on how to avoid this by uncovering what an employer is really looking for when they post that vacancy — and how to prove you are their ideal candidate.

Matching the job requirements

First, print off the advert and use a highlighter pen to underline all the candidate selection criteria. This forces you to consider whether you meet every requirement rather than ignoring any gaps.

Once you are sure you meet the main criteria, drill down into the detail of the job. Most employers will supply a job description and a list of essential skills and competences for the role. Go through each selection criteria to check if you have good examples to show how you match their requirements. For instance, if they are looking for someone with people management experience, you will need to be able to show how many staff you have line-managed in different roles, the different teams you have worked with, performance management activities, and other issues.

Your examples should detail not simply that you did these things, but that as a result of doing them there were benefits for the organisation. It's not enough to assume that just because your job title has the word manager in it that this will be considered sufficient evidence of your people management skills.

Uncovering the hidden requirements

Occasionally, employers offer a named contact you can talk to in order to find out more about the job before you apply. Always take this opportunity if it is offered. If it's not, try to find someone you know who works in your target organisation, or is one of their suppliers or competitors. You need to find out more about what it is like to work there and how it operates.

Look closely at any information you have been sent by the company as well as their website and marketing material. How does the organisation talk about itself? Does it see itself as traditional, creative, entrepreneurial, ethical or as a centre of excellence? Is the language it uses very formal, relaxed or full of jargon?

If you can pick up clues about the culture and self-perception of the organisation, then you can use language that is reflective of this within your application, making you seem more of a natural fit. For instance, if the organisation seems very dynamic and fast-paced, then describing achievements that talk about multi-tasking against tight deadlines or which showcase your initiative and energy may be particularly helpful.

What if you don’t meet all criteria?

If you meet the majority of the criteria but not all - but you're convinced you could do a great job for them, then it may still be worth sending an application in. However, don't try to ignore any obvious gaps. You could try some of the following strategies instead.

• Identify ways in which you could easily bridge any gaps: "Although I do not currently have Sage experience, I have extensive payroll database experience and have enrolled on a Sage course for next month."

• Highlight transferable skills: "Although I have not worked in account management before, I have always worked in customer-facing environments where relationship management was essential."

• Use extracurricular experience and show your keen interest: "Although I do not have direct experience of working for a charity, I am actively involved in volunteering for a large environmental charity."

Interview takes care of that sir

Basildvalour:
How about after all the resume writing and submission for employment and all you still keep hearing is: "wow! What a wonderful resume you've got, we will get back to you in due time" but you are never called back?

Well, we'll have to fulfil all righteousness and wait for it to really be seen as a filthy rag before God.

Be postive! come to think of it, as a business man, will you prefer to hire some one who will likely kill your business?

Q: How is a resume read?
Employers scan your resume for about 30 seconds on average, and ask themselves the following questions. Does this candidate possess the necessary skills to succeed at this position? Does this candidate demonstrate characteristics that fit this role and this company? Does this resume provide proof that the candidate can produce positive results and achieve success? Should I invite this candidate in for an interview to find out more? Employers want to find evidence in your resume that you will be successful on the job.

Q: A resume is a work history, right?
Some people make the mistake of thinking that a resume is just a work history. More importantly, it's a presentation of the "professional you" on paper. The importance of the work experience component on the resume is to put your skills and characteristics in a context that is understandable and believable to the employer and to demonstrate your qualifications for the position.

Q: How can I make my resume stand out against the competition?
The best way to make your resume stand out is by tailoring your resume to the exact requirements of the position you are applying for and by describing your accomplishments and experience using Action-Benefit statements that illustrate how your actions produced a measurable benefit to your previous employer. By doing these two things, you will create a resume that demonstrates you have the skills, abilities, and experience required for success in the position, and that you have the proven ability to apply those skills and abilities to achieve a positive result and add value to the company.

Q: What type of resume will be best for me?

Many people wonder what would be the best type of resume for a given situation. Should it be chronological? Should it be functional? Most importantly, your resume should be logical. You want to include the most interesting and compelling facts about you first on your resume. If those facts are shown in your current job, you probably want to use a Chronological format. If not, you may want to use a Functional format that highlights your skills, capabilities, and accomplishments up front.

Q: What are the biggest blunders people make on resumes?

Avoid these resume blunders that you might find on the resumes of inexperienced job seekers:

Lack of Focus: Be sure to start your resume with a clear objective or a summary statement. This gives you a roadmap for writing the resume and the employer a roadmap for reading it.
Poor Organization: Define a logical principle that supports the structure of your resume and carry this theme throughout. Be consistent with use of highlighting such as bolding, italicizing, and underlining.
Dull Responsibilities: Would you be interested in somebody's basic job descriptions if you had 100 resumes in a pile? Probably not. You can avoid this blunder by listing accomplishments and developing measurable Action-Benefit statements that demonstrate your ability to achieve results.
Spelling and Grammatical Errors: Even one error could land your resume in the reject pile. Make sure you proofread. Proofread and have someone else proofread your resume before you submit it to an employer.
Unconventional Formats or Styles: In an attempt to be different, variations from conventional format can be construed as too creative or abnormal. Instead, ensure that your accomplishments and unique talents make you stand out. You're better off using a conventional format and addressing your skill set to the business needs of your prospective employer.

Q: What can I do if my resume doesn't seem to be working?
If you have put a great deal of energy and thought into your resume but are still not getting the results you expected, ask yourself these questions. "Am I sending it to the right people? Are they hiring managers? Am I being realistic about the kind of job I should be looking for?" Secondly, look at the message of your resume. If someone who didn't know you read your resume, what would they say about you after a 30-second glance? One way you can test that is to have a stranger read your resume and ask that person, "Just based on what you've read about me, what can you determine about my ability to achieve results or make a positive impact?"

Q: How much time does a hiring manager spend looking at the average resume?
The average hiring manager looks at a resume for about 15 to 30 seconds, so be sure to put the most important information, such as your accomplishments and qualifications, at the top of your resume.

Q: If applying for a part-time job, do I need a resume?
Though many part-time or entry-level jobs do not require a resume, presenting a resume along with your application form may serve to separate you from the rest of the candidates. Also, since writing a resume is a life-long endeavor, it is never too early to start creating a list of your skills and experience in the form of a resume.

Q: What format should I use if I am just leaving the military?
Unless your career in the military is identical to the career field you are seeking outside the military, the best format for someone just leaving the military is a functional resume. It may be difficult for a civilian employer to understand your military accomplishments and level of experience in civilian terms. Before creating your resume, define what type of job you are looking for and the skills and abilities needed for that job. Then extract from your military experience those items that demonstrate these skills and abilities. It is probably more important to describe the skills and abilities you've gained from your experience than list the positions you've held in the military.

Q: Why are keywords important to include in a resume?
Keywords are used by computer search engines to locate candidates in a resume database based on the skills and experience described in their resume. Keywords may include industry-specific jargon, career-related skills, computer programs you have an expertise in, machines you use, and any nouns and terms that describe the tasks you perform and the requirements of your position. When you have generated a comprehensive list of these keywords and terms, add them in a Skills section of your resume, or include them throughout your resume in the descriptions of your capabilities, accomplishments, and job experience.

Q: What information should not be included in my resume?
Providing a picture, or any information about race, religion, political affiliation, gender, marital status, number of children, sexual preference, health, or weight is not appropriate for a resume, unless it is relevant to the position you are seeking. Also, do not include information about salary or any negative information about previous employers. Also, avoid including personal information such as hobbies or interests unless they demonstrate skills relevant to your next job.

Q: Should I exaggerate my experience to make myself more attractive?
You should always market yourself in the best possible light, but it is never a good idea to exaggerate your qualifications on a resume beyond the truth. If you are selected as a potential candidate, companies will verify the information in your resume. Additionally, they may ask specific questions about your experience and education, and you will need to feel comfortable and confident in your response.

Q: If I e-mail my resume, should I also mail a hard copy?
It is always a good idea to mail your resume in addition to sending it by e-mail. A resume presented on quality paper and correctly formatted will make the best impression.

Q: How long should my resume be?
A resume should consist of as many pages as necessary to present the skills, abilities, experience, accomplishments, and education that qualify you for the career field you are seeking. A general rule of thumb is one page if you are a recent graduate or new to your career path and more than one page if you have sufficient experience in your career path to merit an extra page.

Q: Can I use the same resume for several different job types?
You will get the best results if you create an individual resume targeted to each job you apply for. That doesn't mean, however, you have to start from scratch each time. Create a base resume that contains all the skills, accomplishments, and experience you have developed over your career. Then rearrange and refocus the critical information to position you in the best possible light for each job.

Q: Is the layout and appearance of my resume important?
Layout and appearance is very important, as it can convey to a potential employer your ability to communicate and present information. Make sure your resume is easy to read and contains plenty of white space. Use bold fonts to emphasize section headings, and bullet points to separate important pieces of information.

Q: Should I have someone review my resume?
You should always have someone check your resume for spelling and grammatical errors. Others may also have suggestions on improving your resume in ways you have not considered.

Q: How are scan-able or electronic resumes different from regular resumes?
If you anticipate that your resume will be added to a resume database you will want to prepare your resume accordingly. Scan-able and electronic resumes should be plain, readable fonts with minimal additional formatting, so they can be scanned into a computer with the fewest errors. Employers will look for potential candidates by searching for keywords that best describe the skill set required, so be sure to include the keyword nouns when describing your experience, skills, and abilities.

Q: Is there a special format for e-mailing resumes?
When an employer requests an e-mailed resume, they will often have instructions on the format and delivery method they prefer. If no instructions are available, your best choices are ASCII or text only (.txt) or Rich Text Format (.rtf). These formats can be opened in most word processing applications and operating systems, and can be copied into the body of an e-mail with minimal reformatting. Using ResumeMaker to e-mail your resume will automatically ensure your resume has the proper e-mail formatting.

Q: Should I include a list of references on my resume?
You do not have to include references on your resume. Most employers will assume you can provide references if they are requested.

Q: Should I send a letter of recommendation along with my resume?
You should only send a cover letter with your resume. Any additional materials, such as references, letters of recommendation, or examples of your work should be introduced at the interview.

Q: What's the best way to send a resume?
There are several ways to send your resume to an employer: fax, e-mail, regular mail, and express mail. When deciding which way to send your resume, it is always best to ask your potential employer which format they prefer, and then follow their instructions. If you are unsure of the company's preference, here are some things to consider: The advantage of postal mail is that you can ensure your resume will be seen in its best form, properly formatted and printed on quality paper. The advantage of e-mail and fax is that your resume can be seen immediately, usually the same day. Express or overnight mail is probably unnecessary since most resumes are removed from their envelopes before landing on the employer's desk so they won't be impressed by your extra effort.

Q: Where on my resume do I place professional titles?
There are several places where it would be appropriate to put your professional title. You can place your title next to your name in the format "John Stevens, CPA." You can include it in your Summary, Education, or Licenses/Certifications sections. If your title is an important qualification in your job search, be sure it appears at the top of your resume.

Q: I have several resumes. Which resume should I post for public view?
When posting a resume to a public resume database, you should try to identify as closely as possible the type of position you are most interested in, and then tailor your resume to that position. If there is more than one position, consider posting several different resumes, but keep in mind that a potential employer may end up seeing both resumes which would make you appear less focused than other candidates.

Q: The job I'm applying asks for desired salary. What should I do?
The most favorable salary strategy is to negotiate in person, later in the hiring process, after you have demonstrated your abilities. Do not include salary information in your resume or cover letter. If a job ad requests your salary requirements or salary history, you can either overlook it and not address the issue of salary at all, or state in your cover letter that you are confident their salary range is fair and competitive, and you would prefer to discuss salary during your interview.

Q: Should I always send a cover letter with a resume?
A cover letter is your personal introductory statement, and should always be sent along with your resume. Use your cover letter to explain why you are particularly interested in the position and draw attention to the experience on your resume that best qualifies you for the job. Also, use your cover letter to initiate the next step, a telephone call to answer questions about your resume or to request an interview.

Q: What tense should my resume be written in?
Generally, your Experience, Skills and Accomplishments, and most other sections should be written in the past tense and in the third person. Your Objective section should be written in the present tense.

Are you suffering from resume-writer's block? Does everyone else's resume seem more professional and better worded than yours? The following are some guidelines to help you create a better resume:

1. Be neat and error free.
Catch all typo's and grammar errors. Make sure someone proofreads your resume, preferably someone attentive to details. Even the smallest error could land your resume in the reject pile.

2. Write a powerful opening statement.
Form a solid, clear opening statement that will help you carry a focused message throughout the resume. The best opening statements summarize your skills and emphasize your strengths.

3. Focus on your benefit to employers.
Focus on highlighting accomplishments that will arouse the interest of employers who read your resume. Answer the question: "How can this candidate fulfill the role and make a positive impact?" Remember that the goal is to get the interview.

4. Make a good first impression.
On average, employers spend less than 30 seconds scanning each resume. Most employers are more concerned about career achievements than education. Place the most interesting and compelling facts about yourself at the beginning, such as a list of accomplishments in order of relevance.

5. Emphasize your skills.
Use a skills or capabilities section in your resume that is organized around the main talents you have to offer. Prioritize everything.


6. Use keywords.
Include specific keywords and phrases that describe your skills and experience, such as Product Launch, Income Statement, Balance Sheet, Sales, Account Management, C++, Visual Basic, Word Processing, MS Excel, Adobe Illustrator, Graphic Design, and Advertising.

7. Use industry jargon.
Use industry jargon and acronyms to reflect your familiarity with the employer's business, but not to the point where it makes your resume hard to read or understand. Spell out acronyms in parentheses if they are not obvious, such as TQM (Total Quality Management).

8. Use action verbs.
Portray yourself as active, accomplished, intelligent, and capable of contributing. Examples: Managed, Launched, Created, Directed, Established, Organized, and Supervised.

9. Avoid personal pronouns.
Never use personal pronouns such as I or me in your resume. Instead of complete sentences, use short Action-Benefit statements, like: Coordinated and published a weekly newsletter that raised awareness for local community events.

10. Highlight key points.
Use bold, italics, and underlining to highlight the most relevant information on your resume. For ASCII text-only resumes, you may use capital letters, quotation marks, even asterisks, to emphasize important words or section titles.

11. Summarize information.
In your resume, use only the amount of space required to demonstrate your qualifications for the position clearly and succinctly.

12. List only recent information.
The general rule of thumb is to show your work experience only for the last 10 to 15 years, unless there is specific prior experience that is especially relevant to the position you are seeking.

13. Quantify or qualify experience.
Numbers are a powerful tool, and should be included in your Action-Benefit statements. Instead of writing "Responsible for increasing sales in my territory," use "Increased sales in my territory 150% over 6 months. Managed 30 accounts increasing revenues from $1.5M to $2M annually."

14. Be organized, logical, and concise.
In addition to reviewing your experience, employers also use the resume to sense whether you are organized, logical, and concise. Make sure your resume is balanced, neat, visually appealing, and flows consistently. Clearly separate sections and emphasize section titles. Leave sufficient blank space between sections for easy reading.

15. Just communicate.
Abandon the use of exorbitant, exquisite vocabulary. In other words, don't try to impress employers with the depth of your vocabulary. Use words everyone can understand.

16. Omit salary information.
Never refer to salary in your resume. Save this information for the interview.

17. Avoid questionable subjects.
Never refer to personal information such as race, religion, marital status, age, political party, or even personal views. In all but a few instances, it would be illegal for the employer to consider such issues. Also, avoid the use of humor and clichés in most resumes.

18. Be honest.
Lying or exaggerating your abilities will always come back to haunt you. Since employers usually check into serious candidates, you will want every detail to check out.

19. Sell your strengths.
Do not under-emphasize your strengths and experience. Portray yourself in the best possible light. Skills that seem natural to you, others may never grasp.

20. Write your own resume.
Be personal, yet professional. Create a resume that reflects your best personal characteristics and positive traits.

21. Personal traits.
If you want to include personal traits in your resume, such as "Dependable, Highly-Organized, Self-Motivated, and Responsible," rather than just listing these traits, try demonstrating these characteristics using examples from your experience. For example, instead of writing "Dependable," write "Never missed an important deadline in five years as a project manager."

22. Position yourself in the best possible light.
To de-emphasize glaring gaps in your work history, consider using a Functional resume, which focuses on your skills and accomplishments rather than a Chronological format, which emphasizes the progression of your experience.

23. Combine sections when possible.
Try to combine any short sections together to make your resume more compact. For example, if you only have one entry under training, consider placing it under your education instead and change the section title to "Education and Training."

24. Use common section headings.
Use common section headings. Examples: Objective, Experience, Employment, Work History, Skills, Summary, Summary of Qualifications, Accomplishments, Achievements, Capabilities, Education, Professional Affiliations, Publications, Licenses and Certifications, and Honors.

25. Be positive.
Remove any negative comments or feelings conveyed in your resume, especially when it comes to previous employment experiences. Emphasize a positive, can-do attitude.

Mistakes are visible part of life, however, there are errors so crazy they simply create no sense. Here are some real resume and cover letter blunders recruiters have seen over the years.

Asking the Employer to Interview with You

Ask what you'll do for your leader -- not what they will do for you, says YESShr senior advisor Mic Fleming. He once saw associate email with a resume that said: “Due to time constraints, I need a phone interview with a representative of the corporate United Nations agency is knowledgeable within the position being offered and its needs, before fitting a proper interview to confirm there's a correct suited the potential company and myself.”

Mistaking Your Resume for Your try at the nice yank Novel

No recruiter or manager needs to take a seat all the way down to a resume that feels as long as “War and Peace,” says Lora B. Poepping, founding father of Plum Job Search methods. “Typically, a resume is scan for a complete of half-dozen seconds. meaning a three- or four-page resume is probably going to lose impact because the reader's eyes glaze over while reading your novelette.”

Think leaflet, not narrative, once you’re writing your resume. “Use bullets, tell stories of success and keep it simple to scan,” Poepping recommends.


Listing Alcohol Tolerance as a talent

Interests and private hobbies that in no way related to your skilled goals need not appear on a resume.

Your victories in your personal life ar important, however to not your leader. In another resume Bowitz reviewed once, the “applicant enclosed winning his Fantasy conference as a significant accomplishment beneath his achievements section. Unless applying for employment at ESPN this is often a reasonably ridiculous inclusion.”

Making a Bomb Threat

There’s nothing worse than creating your prospective boss and colleagues concern for his or her lives. “The most outlandish resume blunder I've ever encountered truly came on the quilt letter, definitely one amongst the strangest cowl letters of all time,” says author and speaker Barry Maher.
