Schmegley's Resume Tips
I had to learn how to write a resume the hard way. By writing a zillion of 'rm. I mean, where do you learn a skill like this? For sure not in high school. I've had to talk to people, go to employment offices, and cruise the Net just to figure out what employers are looking for. Geez, I didn't know how important a resume was! Take it from a kluk who has lost a lot of jobs - avoid those generic online templates. They look cheap and boring. Everyone uses them. Don't be everyone. Stand out above the crowd; design a resume with fresh and cool fomatting. And use great verbs to explain WHAT you did during your teamwork, leadership, computer and whatever experiences. Download the POWER VERBS to see great verbs. Try to use most or all of these headings in your own resume:
1. Your name (followed by relevant contact info and your social media (they check -- best to clean up these and include one or two of them)
2. Job Target or Job Objective (may be excluded)
3. Highlights of Qualifications or Profile or Summary
4. Relevant Skills and Experiences
5. Employment Experience or Work History (this one combines paid and non-paid work)
6. Education and Training
Okay, you're probably wondering if I know so much about resumes, then why am I still unemployed? Great question. Truth is, I'm kinda lazy. I read a lot and see great resume samples in books and web sites. In fact, just for you, I finally got off my butt and made a decent resume that you can download. Go ahead, click it.
