A Look at Resumes, From An Employer’s Perspective
Understanding the purpose of a resume from the employers standpoint may help you develop a better one. The employer uses it for several purposes, whether it be online or in print.
a) A method to screen applicants
b) Develop Questions for the Interview
c) Judge your writing skills
d) A reference to go back to after the interview
e) Judge the amount of thought and research you did prior to the interview
A few things you should remember and concentrate on. Your main objective when developing your resume is to get an interview. You want to stand out and be assertive and creative, stating your skills and accomplishments. Don’t be afraid to be bold within the context of the truth but don’t overdo it. Make sure you only state the positive, listing a negative will most likely get you eliminated.
