How to Write Your Resume

How to Write Your ResumeYour resume is a great tool, but how much can it help if it doesn't contain the right resume action words? That's right; your resume doesn't really need to make sense, but your job search doesn't need to be full of head games.There are thousands of different resume action words that you can use to get ahead in the job hunt. But in order to truly achieve success, you need to know where to look for them. This is what I've found to be the most important step in learning how to write your own resume.The first thing that you need to understand is that there are thousands of resume action words. Every single one of these words is designed to 'goad' a job seeker into 'engaging' with the recruiter in order to apply for the job. So the trick is to figure out which words will actually get you to apply for the job!For example, the words A.V.A. or AT&T are two words that you should avoid at all costs. These words are designed to get you to react to a recruiter and to enga ge with them in order to send you to their website and apply for the job.Remember that your 'calling' was 'hiring' a company to get your resume in front of a potential employer. Not engaging with them, therefore, is a huge turn-off to them, so they won't want to hire you.The second big mistake that you will hear about all the time is not using verbs properly. In other words, you need to have your keywords correctly and all your action words in place.You see, the way your campaign needs to work is that it has to be friendly and inviting. It has to entice people to apply for the job, instead of 'selling' them on something.This means that you need to always look for 'selling' words, like 'recruiting,' 'weeding out,' and 'potential hires.' These are terms that people are familiar with and they understand exactly what they mean.But when you don't speak directly to the employer, like you would if you were in an interview, you need to use 'action words' to get you to apply for the job. The y include 'applying,' 'asking,' 'calling,' and 'obtaining.'A great example of a good 'referral' word is 'suggested' because it is an action word. So the recruiter is giving you a list of things that you can do to get a job, and you are required to take them on a date or that you go to 'their facility,' as a way of sending you into the interview process.A third type of action word is 'address,' which is just another action word. It gets you to take an action like 'booking an appointment 'reserving a meeting 'arranging a conference call.'While all these actions will make the recruiter seem 'friendly,' they are very straightforward, and they are also the types of words that will cause the recruiter to ignore you. So you really need to pay attention to these things!
