Everyday a lot of people are competing for jobs. The resume is a tool to help you get noticed by potential employers. A good resume will get you an interview while a bad one will get you ignored.
Some people just write their employment history. But there are actually two things you must remember if you want your resume to stand out.
1. What are your marketable skills? 2. Find achievements in the past that will help you prove your claims.
For example, don’t just recite the companies you worked for. Mention the positions you held in those companies and mention the activities you performed in those companies. This will help your potential employer know where they may be able to assign you.
Mention all the projects that you were involved in and what were their benefits to the company.
If you are involved in Sales, mention all the companies you sold to especially those companies that are really difficult to get.
With regards to the length of your resume, some companies don’t mind a very elaborate resume that includes all your employment history. While some companies prefer only two page resumes. If this is the case, you should only mention your best companies and accomplishments.
