Resume Writing Is An Art
According to the great Greek Philosopher Aristotle - ” Man is a social animal” . He has to live in a society and earn his livelihood through means of his trade of expertise. He has to learn some trade and then find a work.
But is finding a work so simple? It may have been so during earlier periods when skilled personnels were on short supply. But times has changed over generations and ages. Today, there are lots of highly qualified who are competing for the all important job that would secure their future. But it has become extremely difficult to achieve it in this competitive age. So all have to fight for it in one way or the other.
During my initial induction to the competitive industry of service, I had to go through a gruelling in-house training for six months. During the time I was taught that “The first 10 seconds are the most important seconds to win over a prospective client or customer”.
Later on I have had several encounters myself with other job seeker, but this time as an employeer myself.
whenever, our company needed to hire some-one, we advertised in local dailies. and as the in-charge of HR department of our small concern, I had to scrutinize lots of applications along with resume. What always baffled me was how poor resume those highly educated and talented people were sending to our office.
As a matter of rule, I personally like neat, tidy and professional resume samples. As I told before, first impression is a lasting impression. I believe, if some one can write a perfect resume then he is likely to be good in his other works and documentations too. Its through best resume writing that an applicant or job - seeker can have that important initial impression on his wannabe employer.
So I think writing an impressive resume is an art in itself. A resume should always be a short reflection of all your qualities. It should never be lengthy and over complicated, but only sketches of those you have achieved so far and the hints of what you can achieve if given a chance.
If the resume is too brief, it would not be enough for your employer to have sufficient idea about you before hand which might not make them too interested in you. If it is too long, that might irritate the employers. So a perfect resume should never be too short or too long- just enough to highlight your qualities.
