Writing a great resume is considered by many people to be a true art form. Remember, you only have one chance to make a good first impression.
There is a great deal of information available, and it is important to do some preliminary research. The following are guidelines to help with writing a successful resume:
- Brevity is key. Health care professionals are extremely busy and they don't have time to read a lengthy chronicle of everything an applicant has ever studied or accomplished. The resume should be two pages or less in length.
- Use point form rather than paragraphs. Key skills may be overlooked while skimming over text. Save paragraphs and narratives for the cover letter.
- Start point form with action verbs.
- Start points with a bullet.
- Keep resume simple, clear and concise.
- Add categories to reflect all skills and include any equipment or machinery you know how to operate.
- Always make sure to include your name on the second page. It's easy to get pages mixed up.
- Once done, re-read the resume as if you were the employer. Would your resume be quickly passed over in favour of one with better presentation?
- Use good quality paper, and make sure the toner doesn't need to be replaced. Faint, hard-to-read print won't impress anyone.
