In a nut shell, you resume must be able to attract HR manager attention and thinks that you might be the one they are finding and hence invite you for an interview.Below are a few guides to construct an eye catching resume that gets you into the interview door.
1) Gather all your skills and experience: Before constructing your resume, first you should begin by listing out all your skills and experiences- work history, academic background, certificates received, seminar attended, accomplishments etc. Do not worry about organizing them into your resume yet at this point, but just make sure that you didn"t leave out any major and relevant experiences/skills in your resume.
2) Name and Contact details are clear: Please make sure that your name and your contact details are very clear and easy to spot for readers. If possible, include all your contact details (e.g. home numbers, postal address, email address, mobile numbers, fax numbers etc.) and put it at the top part of every page in your resume. This is to make sure that your potential employer can contact you by any means he prefers, by phone, email or postal mail. Please do make sure that the contact number you provide is reachable to you, as most HR will only call once or twice to contact you for an interview, and please do return call if you have received any miss call to avoid wasting of chances.
3) Provide a brief summary of all major skills and experiences: As nowadays, for every job post HR is receiving tons of email and postal application resumes. To make their selection process simple, please make sure that they are able to know all your skills and experiences in a very short time. If they think that you might be the one they are looking for, they will continue reading your resume. For those resume that are very long and not straight forward, they might just ignore as they have lots of other choices.
