VIking Resume Website A Resume or C.V. is your first impression, it is a written representation of you. While a photograph provides an exterior compilation, a resume is a snapshot of your accrued skills, strengths and creative talents. To an employer, a resume IS you – and it will be what compels them to either contact you or to throw your resume into the wastebasket.
For a resume to be successful, it must do three things:
1. Convey a positive image of yourself to the employer in less than five seconds
2. Showcase how you can satisfy the employer’s needs better than any other applicant
3. Compel the employer to contact you for an interview
How can a resume do this?
1. The writer must know what skills the employer requires in an employee
2. The writer must have expertise in the written word
3. The writer must know how to produce a document that will highlight relevant skills in an informative, effective and concise manner
A poorly written resume conveys the same impression to the employer as showing up at the interview in tattered and torn clothing.
