Posted by Fred Peters | Guides & Advices | Saturday 13 September 2008 7:13 am

When it comes to resume writing, there is a lot of conflicting advice. One area that people can often improve is how they set out their work history. While resume writing does not require you to be a Shakespeare, you do need to follow some simple guidelines if you want to be successful. When including your experience whether it be full time, part time, and internship or other experience, your method of resume writing should be logical. List all of your paid and unpaid work experience that is relevant to the position. You may also include experience that relates indirectly to the job (i.e. experience which helped you to develop leadership, public speaking, organization skills etc).

In your resume writing, you should describe your responsibilities on the job, being specific and using active verbs. You should always put these verbs in the past tense even though you may currently be performing these duties. Think of yourself as an employer who is hiring and 15 qualified applicants come for the position. Each applicant has the same basic educational and work history background. So how do you choose someone? The quality of their resume writing is a start. This can show your ability to communicate ideas in written format. These resume writing skills will be imperative if report writing or other similar skills are needed for the job. Your resume writing, whether accomplished or not as experienced need to show that you contributed more than expected in your past positions. Accomplishments are one thing that can set you apart from others, but your accomplishments must be quantified. Be specific about dates, time frames and outcomes. Regardless of the fact that you may not be the most qualified person for the job, sometimes the quality of your resume writing can determine whether or not you will get an interview.
