It outlines your skills and experiences so an employer can see, at a glance, what you could bring that organization. A resume has one goal: to get your foot in the door!  \nA resume makes an instant and lasting impression. While you may have everything it takes to succeed in a particular position, your resume is only effective if an employer immediately wants to meet you in person. The first hurdle your resume has to clear—bypassing the “rejection pile” for the “consider pile”—usually takes less than 30 seconds. The more carefully you prepare your resume now, the more likelysomeone is to read it later.  \nSo how do you create a resume that captures people’s attention and gives you the best shot at an interview? First of all, an effective resume focuses on a specific job and, when possible, meets the employer’s stated requirements for that position. Your resume needs to describe more than your education level and jobs you’ve held in the past. You must also recognize what skills, interests, and experiences are needed to succeed in the occupation—and then highlight those on your resume. The more you know about the responsibilities and skills required for the job—and organize your resume around these points—the more effective your resume will be.  \nIt will be difficult to begin writing your resume until you identify the career field and types of employers that will bethe focus of your job search. America’s Job Bank offers a variety of resources to help you determine possible career paths—especially those that are in fast growing industries. There are links available from the America’s Job Bank website to America’s Career InfoNet, which is a guide to the latest job trends, employer and state profiles, and career exploration resources. The other resource link from AJB isto America’s Learning eXchange which has listings of online training and educational resources. Your school career center and library also offer resources worth checking out.  \nOnce you knowhow you will use the resume, then you will be better equipped to write an effective, targeted resume that gets results. You will likely spend a considerable amount of time developing your resume, choosing the right words and phrases to describe your marketable skills and experiences. Don’t let this discourage you. Writing the perfect resume usually requires several revisions. It’shard work, but don’t forget a well-crafted resume can be your ticket to your dream job!  \nS E R I O U S N e t W O R K I N G TM  \n2  \nHow to Start Writing  \nThe hardest part about writing a resume is startingto write the resume!  \nFirst, you need to think about what you want to do, what image you wish to project, and how your past experiences relate to your current aspirations. Once you have addressed these crucial issues, putting your thoughtson paper is much easier.  \nChoose your focus. Decide what typeof job you’ll be applying for and then write it atthe top of apiece of paper. If you need help in finding different industries and occupations, search America’s Job Bank and America’s Career InfoNet to identify hot industries and available opportunities.  \nThe job objective you list on your sheet of paper doesn’t haveto actually appear on your resume. Sometimes, it’s best to describe your job goals in the cover letter, where you can tailor your objective to each opening. Most employers do like to seean objective statement on your resume and it isan option on the AJB Resume Builder. Make sure that it is precise. For example,“A marketing management position with an innovative corporation” is much better than “A position which utilizes my education and experience.”  \nTake inventory. Start with several pieces of blank paper. Title each with the following headingsand then brainstorm:  \nEducation  \nActivities  \nInterests  \nWork experience  \nHonors and awards  \nSkills and abilities  \nIf youthinkyou do","cbCaio9AWtF3a5mZ","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaio9AWtF3a5mZ","pdf",299276,21,"English","# What’s a Resume?\n## How to Start Writing\n## Choose your focus\n## Take inventory\n## Education\n## Work experience\n## Activities","[{\"question\":\"What is the main purpose of a resume?\",\"answer\":\"A resume’s main goal is to get attention from employers and earn an interview by showing, at a glance, what you could bring to the organization.\"},{\"question\":\"How quickly does a resume need to make an impression?\",\"answer\":\"The first hurdle is bypassing the “rejection pile” for the “consider pile,” which usually takes less than 30 seconds.\"},{\"question\":\"What steps are recommended to start writing a resume?\",\"answer\":\"Start by choosing the job focus, deciding how to present your objective, and taking inventory by brainstorming under headings such as education, activities, interests, work experience, honors and awards, and skills.\"}]","What’s a Resume? - How to Start Writing | PDF",1790055190,32]
