Introduction

Recruiters spend only six seconds reviewing an individual resume, and 80 percent of that six seconds is spent looking only at your name, current and previous title/company, current and previous position start and end dates, and education. A professionally-formatted resume is key to landing an interview.

Though technology is quickly changing the way hiring entities collect and review job search information, the resume still reigns supreme. In a 2016 survey of four hundred US advertising and marketing executives, 78 percent said they would rather receive traditional CVs in Word or PDF format from candidates applying for creative roles at their company, and that far fewer executives today favored online profiles (14 percent) and video or infographic resumes (3 percent each) as their format of choice.

If you are a successful executive, it is likely you have never had to write a resume before. Yet in todays market, job seekers at all levels are being asked to provide a resume for consideration. You must either master the craft of resume writing or hire someone who has mastered it.

I love writing resumes. I have spent many hours studying how to do it well and getting certified at the highest level in the profession, yet I am equally thrilled to see someone do a stellar job writing a resume on his or her own. Thats why I chose to write this book.

Now that you know that you have six seconds to grab the attention of your next employer, how are you going to do that? Perhaps the biggest challenge in resume writing is that there is no one right way to do it. Seven people will give you seven opinions about your resumes effectiveness. The good news is that you only have to impress one person: The person who hires you.

This book will guide you through writing and formatting each section of your resume, providing examples for you to follow every step of the way. If at any point while reading this book, you realize that you prefer to hand your project to a resume writer, please do not hesitate to contact us at theessayexpert.com. We would love to work with you!

Note on Company Guidelines and Style: If you know that a company follows specific writing guidelines, comply with those guidelines in your resume and ignore anything in this book that contradicts them. This rule of thumb applies particularly to any style guides used by the company, such as the Chicago Manual of Style or the AP Stylebook.

If you are a grammar and style geek, you might notice that this book was edited according to the Chicago Manual of Style; however, every resume in the book does not conform to those guidelines. Resume formatting decisions are sometimes forced by line length and page length considerations, which might mean breaking some rules. However, dont break rules if you know the company abides by a specific set of rules. And be sure to maintain consistency throughout your resume. In other words, if you break a rule in one spot, break it everywhere.

Note on Formatting Instructions: All instructions and images in this book are given using Microsoft Word. If you use another word processing program, please follow the overall formatting advice given here and implement it according to your programs functionality.

Context

TIP #1:
WRITE FOR THE FUTURE

It is a misconception that resumes are about your past. Resumes are about your FUTURE. In other words, your resume will work if you think about what a potential employer would want to know about how you WILL perform. What experience do you have that will enable you to make a contribution to their firm or organization?

If you are writing from the perspective of the FUTURE, heres what will happen:

1. You will write detailed bullets that demonstrate your capability to achieve measurable results. Your readers will infer that you can produce similar results for them.

2. You will think about the purpose and priority of each item on your resume, then choose and place your sections and bullets accordingly.

3. You will delete anything that is irrelevant or of minimal importance to your future.

4. You will include positions from as many years back as necessary to share information thats relevant to your next positionthere is no absolute rule about how many years to include!

Keep reading for more resume tips that will help you write a well-formatted, attention-grabbing, future-based resume!

TIP #2:
KNOW YOUR TARGET

If youre not sure what position you are aiming for, how are you possibly going to get it? Make sure you know what your ideal job is, and write your resume as if you are going 100 percent for that job. If there are two types of jobs you want, write two resumes. If there are three types of jobs you want ? You guessed it!
