How to Create a High Impact Resume

The resume must be two sheets maximum. If you have too many wonderful things to tell and it's more than two sheets, select the most important and / or recent achievements. Those other achievements that are outside the curriculum, you can comment on in the interview; They will not go unnoticed, but it is better that you do not saturate the resume so that it does not end up in the garbage can. Does it seem cruel to you? That's right, hence the importance of learning how to make a professional and effective resume.

What a good resume should carry:

Title and objective consistent with our new job skills, experience, and expectations. What specific qualities do you possess to occupy the position that interests you? In short, what do I want and what do I offer? Be as specific as possible and leave personal goals out. List of your works in chronological order from most recent to oldest, that are relevant for the purpose stated initially, not including those over six years old. Rather than including activities and achievements, with bullets we can use a continuous writing format where the responsibilities, activities and line of business are written, in order to make it more understandable for the recruiter.Achievements should be mentioned, quantifying them in percentage increment and in time, so that the information is clearer for the reader. Be sure to back up each achievement with specific and tangible amounts, include results, mention the number of employees you have supervised, the amount of money you controlled, the income and / or savings your department achieved under your command. Schooling: degree obtained, date and institution, from the most recent (doctorates and / or master's degrees) to the oldest, which would be the degree. High school, middle school, elementary and kindergarten are not included. Relevant courses supported by a diplomaand that they are coherent and related to the objective and the professional career. Cooking, ceramics and tae - kwon do courses are not included. Computer programs that you manage. It is not understood that you manage them if you do not mention them, not specifying them can close doors. Languages: Clearly quantify your command of the language. The percentages are very relative and one is usually too kind to oneself. If you can put a Toefl qualification or a degree obtained in prestigious schools, it is better. Ask yourself this question, for the purposes of the work to be done. Do you have any problem with the language, such as having a fluid conversation, understanding various accents, holding telephone conversations and knowing the technicalities of your area? So you master it 100%. If you do not understand Old English, poetry or Australian slang, it does not matter if you are fully bilingual for the purposes of the work to be done. There is also no need to be radical in this life. Additional Information: You should only include nationality, age and marital status. The date of birth, RFC, IMSS, professional license number, military, license and passport number, name and occupation of the spouse, number of children with the name of each and year they are studying are not included.

I present you a resume that fully covers the characteristics necessary to create a good impression, to make the candidate's profile clear and to get an interview, that without taking away the importance of the resume, its only mission is to open doors for you. as many interviews as possible. With the interview, the resume becomes part of the past and what will make you get the job will be your communication and negotiation skills.
