Articles
Does Your Resume Look Weathered?
Dust off your resume and make sure it reflects what employers today are
seeking. You have a lot to offer.
Has your resume grown to three or four pages over time? Is your first job
after high school graduation still listed? Are you still displaying the date you
graduated from college?
Include only the most recent 15 to 20 years of work history. The emphasis
today is on capabilities, qualifications, and achievements. Don’t tell
prospective employers that you can just use various software programs.
Give examples of how you helped the bottom line of a company in doing so.
If your relevant accomplishments are three jobs back – don’t list a
chronology of your work history on your resume. Employers may not get that
far. Lead the professional section of your resume with your list of
accomplishments.
If you have been at home raising children for several years, call attention to
your lifetime of experience – at home, in the community, and at work. Think
of accomplishments in terms of transferable skills: those in the areas of
communications, organizing information, and fixing things. You haven’t
simply been a stay-at-home mother. You have managed a budget that
saved for family vacations, college tuition funds and retirement. You
organized a fundraiser at your children’s school that raised $11,000 for new
computers. You wired all the electronics in your home including computers,
printers, and scanners, as well as set up all the software programs for such.
Focus on what your attitude is. Employers want to know that you have a deep
openness to learning new things. They want people who are willing to learn,
adapt, and be stable, who aren't looking for the next job before they start this
one.
This describes you! Just be sure to communicate these strengths in your
resume. You can do it. Get started now!
