A résumé is a
self-advertisement that, when done properly, shows how your skills, experience,
and achievements match the requirements of the job you want. In order to make a resume it is a good idea to choose this kind of resume and then train yourself for your job interview....
Chronological Résumé
List your employment history. Your jobs should be listed in order with the most recent one first.
o
Include the name of the
company, the city in which the company is located, your title, your duties and
responsibilities, and dates of employment for each employer.
o
Under each job description
include a bold heading, which reads “major accomplishment” or “achievements”,
and list two or three achievements or a major accomplishment for that position.
For example, you could list ways you saved the company money, made the office
run more efficiently, or brought in new clients or customers. For example, you
could include information on how you “implemented a new filing system that
saved $1.50 per client in supply and labor costs.”
Provide information on your education.
o
If you attended more than one
college, university, or training program, list the most recent one first.
o
For each institution, include
the name, city and state, and the degree or certificate you received.
o
If you had a cumulative grade
point average or better, list it as well.
o
If you did not attend college
or trade school, do not include your high school education; including high
school information on your résumé doesn’t look professional.
Add additional sections as needed. Because a résumé is
unique to each person, you may want to add additional sections in order to
highlight something that makes you stand out as the right candidate for the
particular job. For example:
o
If you have job specific
skills, list them in a section titled ‘Special Skills.’
o
If you are bi-lingual and the
job favors those who speak more than one language, list the languages in which
you are fluent under “Other Languages”.
o
If being computer literate is
important to perform the job well, create a ‘Computer Skills’ section and list
all of the programs, applications, and programming languages you know how to
use.
A Job Interview
You have just landed an interview for a
seemingly wonderful job! Now what? Successful interviewing will be essential in
order for you to lock in an offer. Here's how to interview, including tips and
strategies for effective interviewing from preparation through follow up.
Practice Makes Perfect
Practice makes perfect (or
at least leads to improvement). Practice with a friend and record or videotape
your responses so you can replay the interview and see how well you did.
Prepare answers to commonly asked interview questions. Doing
so will help you analyze your background and qualifications for the position.
Behavioral Interviews
Behavior based interviewing
is becoming more common. It is based on the premise that a candidate's past
performance is the best predictor of future performance. Rather than the
typical interview questions on your background and experience, you will you
need to be prepared to provide detailed responses
including specific examples of your work experiences.
The best way to prepare is
to think of examples where you have successfully used the skills you've
acquired. Take the time to compile a list of responses to both types of
questions and to itemize your skills, values, and interests as well as your
strengths and weaknesses. Emphasize what you can do to benefit the company
rather than just what you are interested in. Also prepare a list of questions
you want to ask the interviewer. Remember, you aren't simply trying to get the
job - you are also interviewing the employer to assess whether this company and
the position are a good fit for you.
Prepare For the Interview
It is very important to be
on time for the interview. On time means ten to fifteen minutes early. If need
be, take some time to drive to the office ahead of time so you know exactly
where you are going. Know the interviewer's name and use it during the
interview. If you're not sure of the name, call and ask prior to the interview.
Remember to bring an extra copy of your resume and a list of references.
Stay Calm
During the interview try to
remain as calm as possible. Ask for clarification if you're not sure what's
been asked and remember that it is perfectly acceptable to take a moment or two
to frame your responses so you can be sure to fully answer the question.
End the interview with a
thank you to the interviewer and reiterate your interest in the position. Then
follow-up with a personal Thank You note
restating your interest.
More Interview Tips:
What shouldn't you do when
interviewing? Here are the most common job interview mistakes, blunders, and
errors a candidate for employment can make. Take the time to review these
mistakes before your interview, so you don't have to stress out about blunders
after it.
The key to successful
interviewing is to review these typical interview questions and prepare your
answers. Also be ready with questions for the interviewer - here's a list.
Tips for phone interviews, second interviews, lunch and dinner interviews, behavioral interviews, interviewing in public, and more advice for interview success.
