How to write a resume

To get a job for yourself, your resume is your most important tool. You may have lots of potential and the exact qualities to get the job, but if those are not presented well, chances are that you'll be turned down the opportunity. For a lack of this sort you may even be denied to a chance of an interview. So taking time and carefully putting all the necessary information into a systematic order is a MUST for you. Today we will discuss about the most common confusions while preparing a resume for a job.

Resume; what's it for?

A resume is simply your marketing tool. It will demonstrate why you are eligible for the post, that you meet all the job requirements, that you have the right qualifications and education for the

Now let us talk about the content of your resume.

What to include?

Contact details:

Start your resume with your name and contact details on it. Contact details include your phone number, both home and personal, your email ID, your other contact details like Skype or hangout. Generally it is preferable to avoid giving your home address on your resume but exceptions can be made for special situations.

You can also put these details in the bottom portion of your resume but if you do so, never forget to keep it in the body of your resume and not in the footer.

Skills and strengths:

Your resume should include a list of 10 to 15 skills that will link yourself to the

These attributes will prove why you are the right person for the job. You can put four to five attributes but be sure that you don't put them instead of your key skills.

Education:

Always put only the highest level of education in your resume. Your interviewer is probably not interested in all your academic life. Try to point out some academic achievements under bullets.

Experience:

Now this is the most important part. If you have worked in several organizations, start off with the most recent one. And then go backwards. Carefully point out all the information about each employment including your role there.

References:

You resume should include two references who will testify for you that you were a good employee to work with. It is better to put the names with or under whom you worked before. Provide their names, designations and contact numbers in this section.

Testimonial:

It is another good way to prove your worth to your "would be" employer. It's easy to ask for a testimonial from your former boss or colleagues. It will save your employer the hassle of contacting them to know about you. But be careful to attach the testimonials with your resume. Do not attach more than
