There has been tons of sources on internet
regarding the composition of resume. Experience,
education, extracurricular activities and skills, blah blah blah.
However, after reviewing several others’ resumes, I found it’s actually not that hard as I
thought, it can be really easy to make the resume work for you.
I have
to say, some of the resumes are really impressive. Full of experience, high
GPA, perfectly polished writing, everything included. However, I am not sure if
the one with the perfect resume is the one we are looking for. I guess the
problem is I can’t find what I am looking for.
Tailor
Tailor
the details to the position -because it not only shows your determination and motivation
for the job, but also shows that you care enough to edit your resume.
Focus
Focus on
the strengths and keep others concise- because companies not only need to know
you are good at things, they also need to know how good you are at those
things.
Expand
Expand
on the experiences according to the job description- because companies would
prefer to find the big portion of your resume is demonstrating what you have
done in the area you are applying for, it is just easier to decide when you are
showing your knowledge about the audiences.
Resume is
basically about audience analysis. Always keep in mind about what the
recruiters are looking for, so it can save both you and the recruiters some
time.
