A person has to go through several education phases in order to seek a good job. For a good job an individual has to go through several stages in order to become a certified professional. While job seeking it is expected that one should be professionally ready with its application document such as Resumes, Diploma, Certificates and education supporting documents. The one which is of prime importance out of them is Resume. It will be not wrong to say that resume is that supporting document which makes way for applicant to get job at the company. Because its resume which provide the brief background of the applicant about his skills abilities and achievements. That’s why it’s very important to write a good resume to get a good job.



The very first requirement of good resume is that the basic information about the individual should be correct like name, contact number; e-mail ID. Title of the resume should be impressive. One should try to keep the resume limited and to the point. Very long resumes do not give good impression. Resume should be up to a maximum of 3 pages. Because employer receives lots of resume for one post they usually don’t have time to go through the long resumes. And that’s why sometime long resumes are neglected. The objective mentioned in the resume should be very clear and understandable. Because objective is of key importance in CV.It is the objective of resume which gives idea about what applicant is basically looking for. Resume should be organized in proper way. If one is short of experience for the post he/she is applying but got the experience required for the post. Then the best way to hide is to place the relevant information first in order to keep the employer attention. Unnecessary information should be avoided. Formatting should be good and time saving. Bullets should be used describing the responsibilities so that it becomes easy to go through it quickly. If one had any additional achievements, honors especially if it relates to the post then it should be placed at the end of Resume. If one has taken some short courses it should also be mentioned in the resume. Because it gives the impression that one has the ability and interest in learning more. There is no need to write a sentence “References will be provided on request”. Pasting picture on the resume should be avoided until & unless it’s required.
