Professional résumé proofreading services from Elite Editing will help you prepare the perfect résumé.
A résumé is a quick summary of the qualifications an applicant has for an open job position.
How do you write and edit a résumé?
A résumé needs to be easy to follow and understand. Your work experience should only include the most essential information. Employers will give résumés a brief skim. If the résumé is strangely formatted or confusing, they won’t bother reading the rest.
A résumé will include the following:
- Heading: Include your name and contact information in a simple, attractive format.
- Objective: Objectives aren’t always needed in a résumé but can be useful. An objective statement is a brief summary of the purpose of the résumé. That can be as simple as “To gain employment with a company I admire,” or something similar.
- Work Experience: Work experience is the meat of the résumé. It is often useful to tailor your résumé to the job. Look at the job description. Make sure your work experience shows that you are able to handle the tasks described. It is imperative to also add locations and dates to this section.
- Skills: Include a skills section to bolster the résumé. Highlight your hard skills, such as familiarity with Word, Excel, and PowerPoint; the ability to type seventy-five words per minute; or that you’re familiar with office machines (depending on the job description).
- Activities: Note skills and qualifications from outside of your professional life. This can include working as a community leader, volunteering, and having a relevant hobby.
A résumé is different from a cover letter. It is important to be mindful of the differences when completing the résumé.
