The average resume is written out of necessity. Everyone knows you have to get a job.
Your resume is like your personal movie trailer. You want your resume to capture your employer's interest, so they'll want to learn more about you.
An effective resume will quickly highlight who you are, where you can be reached, and information about your most recent educational or training experiences. To make writing your resume as painless as possible, assemble the following information before you begin:
·Personal information such as name, address, phone, and e-mail address
·Current job objective
·Education and training
·Work experience, including duties and dates of employment
·Accomplishments (particularly as they relate to work experience)
·Specific skills and abilities
·Information about software knowledge or machinery you can operate
·References if possible.
Last but not least, do remember to proofread it! We can't over-emphasize the need to proofread your resume--and better yet, have someone else proofread it for you, Give them to your English teacher or guidance counselor and have them look it over. Two sets of eyes are better than one--your proofreader may catch mistakes that you missed, but an employer won't miss. Resumes with grammar mistakes, misspellings or uneven margins often get tossed.
