Finding a Job Series – Resume Writing

There are a few easy steps you need to follow to get an effective chronological resume. First, outline your employment history, the most recent area of employment at the top. You should include information about the company, as well as your given title and required duties. To highlight your skills in a certain area, emphasize whatever you have accomplished or what you have been rewarded with. Furthermore, any emphasis on cost-cutting measures will be all the more valued. Next, put information about your education in the same format, outlining your schooling and accomplishments. If you received good grades during college or university, place some emphasis on that. If you are young, it is okay to put information pertaining to secondary school, but otherwise it is rather unprofessional. If there are any other formative experiences that you have progressively improved upon, include them too. Companies want people interested in what they do, so it does not hurt to include specific skills or topics, so long as they do not take up too much space.
