7.1 How to Prepare an Effective Resume
If you are seeking a new job, you cannot afford to be without a well prepared resume. The objective of a resume is to sell you to a prospective employer, or at least generate enough interest to enable you to obtain an interview. Ask yourself: “What are the main attributes that I have to offer an employer?” Then make sure that these are covered in your resume. Stick to the facts and avoid over-embellishment; but don’t be afraid to include all relevant factors which indicate that you have the capability to do the job. Keep the resume concise; it should rarely exceed three letter-sized sheets. Avoid the temptation to ramble on – a busy employer does not have time to extract the pertinent details from a mass of verbiage. Use clear, precise language and ensure that all spelling is accurate and there are no grammatical errors. It is a wise idea to have someone with good language skills proof-read the copy before it is typed. Always have the resume well typed or word processed, and once again check carefully to make sure that there are no typographical errors. You can have a number of copies run off a laser printer or at an instant print shop. Avoid the temptation to enclose copies of the resume in fancy binders. This rarely impresses people and is a waste of money. Always strive for the clear uncluttered look. The resume should generally contain information under the following captions:
. Personal Information

. Career Objective

. Overview/Skills Summary

. Education

. Employment History

. Other Information

. Hobbies and Outside Interests

. References When forwarding the resume to a prospective employer, consulting firm, or agency, ensure that you write a brief covering letter referring to a specific advertisement or stating that you are making a general inquiry concerning possible employment.
.  
Personal Information. List your full name, address and home telephone number. If it is appropriate for people to contact you at your present office, provide your business number together with local, if any. It is also a good idea to provide a number where messages can be left if it is difficult to contact you. Also provide a fax number and/or e-mail address if available.

.  
Career Objective (Optional). The objective gives focus to your resume. If you are seeking a challenging middle-management position, an entry-level position, or a career change, then say so. Do not leave the employers to guess what you are looking for. This is not the time to talk about advancement potential or your long term plan.

.  
Overview/Skills Summary. It may be beneficial for you to highlight your skills early in your resume. Depending upon your field, you could list the specific computer software, the types of accounting systems in which you have experience, size of budget controlled, supervisory experience, foreign languages, sales awards received, etc.

.  
Education. List all formal post-secondary education, giving emphasis only on that which is relevant. If you have attended a university, community college, etc., note the dates attended, degrees or diplomas granted, and the major subjects taken. If you are currently enrolled in a program of studies, indicate what level and/or mention the course completed to date. If you hold a professional designation, note the date of qualification or admission.

Other relevant courses include computer software, management training, sales and marketing, etc (Be careful about listing self-help or personal development courses, not all employers see these as positive.).
.  Employment History (Experience). List each of your full-time positions since graduating from high school or university in reverse chronological order, that is, put the most recent first. If you have had a long career, it is appropriate to omit earlier jobs (Ten years is an easy rule of thumb.).
For each position held, state the name of the company, location, nature of business, your title and dates employed. List your duties and responsibilities as well as the number of people supervised, if any.
