Writing Resumes And Knowing The Basics
By Christine Wales
In today’s workplace, it is common for people to desire
better positions and a higher pay rate per hour or a higher salary.
The cost of living has risen considerably and yet not all wages
have risen accordingly.
The reasons why many people leave one job for another can be
different, but most have one thing in common. When it comes time
to search for a new job, a resume is needed to let the potential
employer know about your job experiences and education. Writing
resumes is not really difficult, but you need to know the basics
and review your options.
Experiencing Anxiety With The First Resume
With the right resume resources, writing a great resume is not
that difficult. Many people tend to experience anxiety when it
comes time to write anything. If you are one of these people,
then calm down and take a deep breath.
There are plenty of professional resume writers who can give
you great tips and advice for writing effective documents. However,
there are a few steps you can take to make the job easier.
Write Down All Your Jobs And Duties
The first thing you need to do is write down all of the jobs
you have had for the last five years. You then need to write down
your job duties, in detail, at each place of employment.
Most executive and professional careers want to know about your
salary history. Some will base their offer or even not offer the
job at all depending on your salary expectations.
Do Not Lie Or Exaggerate
You may be overqualified for the job and as a result the employer
may not hire you, believing that you will continue to research
careers and leave if a better opportunity comes along down the
line.
Writing resumes has only one cardinal rule. Do not, absolutely
do not, lie or embellish the facts. Most employers are now wise
to this practice. If they think the information on your resume
sounds too good to be true, then they will usually do an extensive
background search and dig to find out whether or not the facts
are correct.
Do Not Risk Your Reputation
If you are hired and they later find out the truth, then you
will no doubt be terminated. Liars never prosper and it is not
worth risking your professional reputation to fudge a few facts.
You do not have to be a professional writer to go about writing
resumes for yourself. Once you have the basics down, it is quite
easy to write an effective document. You will need to sit down
and remember some past details, but it should not be difficult.
If you find that you cannot write it, no matter how hard you
have tried or what tips you have read, then you can always hire
a professional to write one for you.

Give Me Just Resume Facts.....
Do I have to send a resume if I had to fill out an application?
Most applications are long and tedious. They
also cover the same information that is on your resume but most
companies require an application along with a resume. Why is this?
Perhaps it is for the human resources to
keep on file. Some companies only require an application once
you have been hired to keep with your personal information. You
should always turn in a resume regardless because it shows a level
of professionalism. You should also make sure and send a cover
letter.
