Outline
Resume
A Quick Checklist Guide for Gauging the Effectiveness of your Resume.
|
I. Heading |
Y |
N |
Is your personal information correct?
|
|
|
Is your email professional sounding?
|
|
|
Did you use a header? (electronic
screening programs can’t view headers and footers)
|
|
|
|
II. Professional Objective |
Did you write a professional
objective statement? (my personal bias and those of HR recruiters
I’ve surveyed is DON’T.)
You are stating the obvious. If you
are applying for the job, you obviously want it. Instead use this
precious space to write a BRIEF Professional Summary of what you are
offering. This is a form of personal branding and marketing.
|
|
|
|
III. Key Words/ Price of Admission
Competencies |
Is your resume key word rich?
|
|
|
Are your key words industry and job
specific?
|
|
|
Does your resume contain all the
relevant Price of Admission Competencies?
|
|
|
|
IV. Work Experience |
Are your key words and Price of
Admission Competencies quantified in your work experience?
|
|
|
Do you focus on the competencies most
relevant for the position you seek?
|
|
|
Is your work history primarily just a
recitation of your past work positions and responsibilities?
|
|
|
Do you quantify accomplishments in a
measurable fashion?
|
|
|
|
V. Formatting |
Is your resume formatted correctly
for the specified type of electronic submission? (IE: ASCII or Plain
Text or Word)
|
|
|
Is your resume no more than 1 page
for every 10 years of experience?
|
|
|
Does your industry have any type of
“Industry Standard” they require/prefer for resumes?
|
|
|
Is your font usage, bulleting,
indenting, tense consistent?
|
|
|
This
outline resume checklist is meant to ensure you have considered the
primary elements into what makes the most effective resume for today’s
electronic screening process. It is not rocket science, though it does
require a little “insider understanding” about how today’s electronic
screening processes and selection processes work.
For
more access to this “insider information” and how to effectively address
anything on this outline resume checklist in your resume, check out our
