Crisp Writers : All About Resumes, Cover Letters and Linkedin Profiles.

A Startup That Transforms, How Online Resumes are Made to Search Job. 

You are about to embark on the single most important aspect of your job-hunting campaign - the presentation of your resume and professional profile.  At first blush, this may sound like a dramatic overstatement, but if you bear with us for a few minutes, we are sure we can convince you.  

Managers of most companies are extremely busy people, who cannot afford to waste time.  They will almost always insist on reviewing a complete employment resume before agreeing to grant an employment interview.  They simply refuse to waste time interviewing candidates whose backgrounds are totally unrelated to their employment needs, or who are so poorly qualified that it is obvious in advance that no employment offer will result.  Authorities in the employment field estimate that approximately 95% of all employment interviews are granted only after the company has received and read the candidate's profile or resumes. 

Here is a deal!   

Many resume writers compile sample resumes that you can review and attempt to emulate.  But just as viewing masterpieces by Renoir or Picasso may inspire you, the painting alone won't equip you with the skills to become a great artist.  Likewise, combing through a resume sampler may give you good ideas, but the examples alone won't give you the skills to create a  stand-out resume. 

Here we give you both great samples and solid strategies.   The whys, what(s) and how(s) of resumes are explained in detail.

Why do I need a Resume ? 

What personal information should I include? 

We suggest that do not provide any personal information w.r.t. your date of birth, height or weight, marital status, number of children, or attach photos to your resume.   There is a law prohibition in some countries like the USA to ask for personal information from jobseekers.

A resume is the first step towards landing a suitable job.  A resume is required in a passive job search as well as in an active job search.  

Passive Job Search:  An eye-catching resume that stands out above all the others may be your best shot at getting noticed by a prospective employer. If you want to be singled out because of your resume, it should be spectacular.

Active Job Search:  Your resume compliment your efforts at being known to a prospective employer before that person receives it.  That being the case, you can count less  on your resume for getting someone's attention. Nevertheless, your resume plays a key role to realize your set objective in an active job search.

Should I include references?

As far as possible, references should not be provided until it is asked for.  You can attach a list of references, if required, as a part of your application on a separate sheet of paper.  It should be ensured that your name at the top of the list should be mentioned along with the current contact information of the referee. 

Will a resume and cover letter get me a job? 

Resumes and cover letter do not get jobs - they advertise you for interview.  These are marketing tools designed to communicate your qualifications to an employer.  From the prospective of an employer, they use this tool to screen candidates, who are basically stranger to an employer for the purpose of interview.  A cleverly drafted resume and cover letter has some magical quality to land you a job interview. 

How can I list my work experience in a resume when I haven't had any, being a recent graduate? 

You may have some work experience without realising it; you may have undertaken an internship, been in the business of yourself or your family, caring for your residents' society or students' union, tutoring even without any payment.   In addition, you have developed skills in your extra-curricular activities at school/college.  You need to note down, and tabulate these experiences and skills. 

How many times a resume is edited? 

We believe that a resume should be edited at least three times. 

I am doing more than one job, how should I present these in my resume? 

The situation is not unusual nowadays.  People do more than one job or part-time jobs or start a combination of self-employment along with their job.

 In such a situation, we ignore one of the jobs which is a stopgap and concentrate on the relevant one. If however, both jobs are equally relevant and important, we include skill sets of both jobs in your resume and put forth these jobs in your career history. 

How much lengthy a resume should be? 

Opinion differs on this issue, but a one to two-page resume is a good range. If you are seeking a managerial position, professional position or technical position - where most people have prior experience - two pages are the norm. 

In most cases, a resume any longer than two pages is not read at all by a busy person. Shorter resumes are often harder to write but when done properly, they can pay off. 

How can I highlight the advantages of employing me in my resume?

A Resume shall include the following achievements, which can highlight the advantages of hiring you:

Improving

Reducing
