Avoid the Most Common Resume Writing Trap
Summary
For example, a customer service professional looking to transition into the IT profession can clump her skills into: Technology, Communication, and Collaboration.### Brooklyn, NY, July 11, 2009 --( PR.com )-- It takes an employer thirty-seconds or less to scan a resume before it hits the trash pile.For example, a customer service professional looking to transition into the IT profession can clump her skills into: Technology, Communication, and Collaboration.Then under each subfield, she would show explicit examples demonstrating that skill utilization during her work or educational experiences.If an IT hiring manager is looking for those three categories, she will definitely stop to look at this person’s resume.However, this option is the most time-consuming and is generally meant for employees who are looking for positions within the same industry.For example, an elementary school teacher trying to become a math coach or social studies cluster teacher can use the same resume and add bits and pieces to the objective, summary of qualifications, and job history to highlight her experience and expertise in each field.This resume will still look like a chronological resume and will include the work history listed in the dates of descending order, but it will highlight the skills necessary for each position.Using, Ayesha Long’s tips, your job search should be more proactive.
