Awesome article. But what if it is Curriculum Vitae or the candidate has no job experience or he is just a fresh graduate.

Aaron,

Do you have a downloadable template of your resume (including the sections, headers, etc)?

Thanks for the advise and I definitely need to update my resumes.

One thing I found as a former employer is also to make the resume job specific.
If I’m looking for a hairstylist, I don’t want to know about your years as a nanny really. Just mentioning it would be enough, not how you learned patience and tolerance! I’m mom I know what skills you learn taking care of kids.

Some resumes I got were 5 pages long and had every job they ever had and everything they did in school back to high school! No just put in the relevant jobs, courses and computer skills, not everything you ever did.

I have several resumes, one as a stylist, one in sales, one for volunteer groups and one general one that combines the best of all and puts it together for new to me jobs.

In general I have found people prefer the job specific resumes and not everything you ever did….unless they ask for a CV.

Aaron,
Thanks for a common sense approach. I like the fact that you will require multiple resumes to fit the different positions that you are applying for. Another good point is “be able to backup what you put on your resume”. You will not want to be put on the spot in an interview and look foolish.
Thanks again,
Greg

If a resume goes beyond one page, then would it be wise to put one’s contact information on the header for the following pages? I reckon this may give one’s resume a different look.

Your succinct but specific solution for the page limit will be of great use…

And last but not the least, I have just now uploaded my resume and scanned photo into Dropbox…a suggestion by you worth doing!
