THE ART OF THE RESUME

By Donna Shannon, President & CEO, The Personal Touch Career Services Resumes: seems simple enough, doesn’t it? A list of experience, some top key skills, a mention of your education, and then you are good to go, right? Not so. Like poetry, resumes are deceptively simple. Within the span of a few pages, you must convey who you are, what you can do, and where you have done it while sprinkling in the relevant key words to pass the screening procedures. Add in considerations of format and style, these two pages become even more challenging. However, depending on your industry or experience level, different rules may apply. For example, an Executive’s resume is very different than the entry level college graduate. The entire career must be covered, which could easily be more than 15 or 20 years. All areas of expertise must be shown so that the hiring committee can appreciate just how much this potential employee can do for them. Often times, a summary or profile gives the employers insight into who you are as a person, an important factor when considering the importance of matching or setting company culture in the modern workplace. By comparison, the entry level resume must be key word driven to pass the screening computers that the executive probably won’t face. Personality and culture still matter, as do achievements, but it must be stated in the language that is appropriate for the job to be effective at all. That being said, there are some tactics that are universal regardless of industry. While the resume samples in this book follow a fairly standard placement of information and sections, they can easily be adjusted to highlight different key factors in different ways. Your most important information:

1. Who you are 2. What you can do 3. Where you’ve done it 4. Bonus: How does all of this apply to their needs – especially if you are transitioning from a different industry.

Additional Items to consider:

1. Whatever is most important should be listed on the first page. If you just graduated from a college or university, this may prompt placing the Education section ahead of the Experience area.

2. Keep the formatting application-friendly.

Online applications are the bane and the fact of modern job searching. While interesting things can be done with color, shading, spacing, and structure, the resume still has to work well with these online tools. Our resume designs have been tested on both sides of the application process to reduce the amount of uploading errors.

3. Keep in mind your personal branding – how do your personality and beliefs make you ideal for this industry?

“Your personal brand should represent the value you are able to consistently deliver to those whom you are serving.” – Glenn Llopis, Forbes

STYLISH BLOCKS RESUME - USE WITH CAUTION

While this particular resume has a modern and beautiful design, it is primarily built with tables and text boxes. For many application systems, this can cause problems when uploading the data, as computers interpret the data in a very different way than humans read it. This is a great option when you can send the PDF via email directly to a manager or if the target company has a more sophisticated application system.
