How to write a KILLER resume objective statement

www.jobhuntersedge.com . Visit our website for how to create a great resume. Get the edge in your job search with how to create a great resume to get the interview that will get you that job you want.

So, how to start your “award-winning” CV or “killer”-resume? You want to know how to write a good CV? Easy! You just should right start, so start from the Personal Information. What is the “personal information”? Certainly, you must write a CV with your First Name and Last Name. But not only with it! Write the age (better a date of birth) and the contact information in your CV it is necessary also.

Remember: to contact with you employer has a lot of ways.

Yes, many ways, remember it! And it is necessary to specify as much as possible quantity of these ways which you must write in a CV contacts. For example, the post address.

Now many of young people mean “the post address” as an “email” (certainly it is must be in CV too), but now I spoke about “usual” mail, about the address where you can receive the PAPER letter! If you are studying and live in other place (not at home) write a CV with both addresses – it is desirable with dates when you can be there or there. For the employer reading your curriculum vitae (or resume) it should not be puzzle – he will simply look at a calendar and will know where are you now. Certainly the professional write a CV mean there should be email too (spoke about it above). And phone, and mobile, and fax numbers if they are. Internet-phone Skype has an increasing popularity – he can be mentioned in your curriculum vitae too. But I don’t recommend to write in CV your UIN of the ICQ. The employer will not want to waste time for a chat in ICQ but at the same time he can call through Skype and talk as by phone.

So, below I will write once again the list of all those data which are necessary if you know how to write a CV, sure… And now let’s talk how this personal information should be issued.

I don’t mean cv templates – the separate post will be devoted it. I speak about about strategy of writing CV. My advice is to write personal contacts given a smaller font, than all other CV part.

Thus attention of the employer don’t stop to these data – let reading of all of the rest more likely. For he(she) it is simply important to know that these data are present in header of CV.

And now employer (if he or she will be interested of the main CV content) can return to the contact information. However, this council does not concern a name and surname – here it is necessary to write them by a larger font. Let the person who reads yours CV knows whose resume or Curriculum Vitae he or she reads It will not damage of your career…

Personal Information of Your Curriculum Vitae Must Include (hope this cv writing tips can help your):
- Title (e.g. Mr, Mrs, Miss)
- First Name
- Last Name
- Contact Number
- Mobile
- Your Email
- Post Address
- City
- State
- Postcode or Zip
- Country
- Date of Birth
- Marital Status
- Dependents
- Nationality
- (optional) Eligible to work
- (optional) Driving License

CollegeGrad.com presents “Tough Interview Question – Are you a team player?” This quick video covers what you need to know for answering this tough interview question. Watch this video to find out the best approach for answering this question.

I received the following questions from a visitor to my website recently: “How should I respond to inappropriate questions such as: (1) Do you have a stable home life? (2) Tell me about your personal situation. Are these inappropriate questions? It has been so long since I interviewed for a job, your suggestions about the most helpful responses would be appreciated!”

Those are, indeed, inappropriate questions that should NOT be asked at an interview.

Various federal, state, and local laws regulate the questions a prospective employer can ask you. An employer’s questions — on the job application, in the interview, or during the testing process — must be related to the job for which you are applying.

That does not mean, however, that you will never be asked inappropriate questions. Some companies have poor HR support, some interviewers are untrained and unaware of inappropriate or illegal questions, and some even ask them knowing they should not.

You won’t have much chance of getting the job if you respond to such questions by saying, “Hey, that’s an inappropriate question. You can’t ask me that!”

So you have a few options. First, you can answer the question. Even if it’s inappropriate to ask, there’s nothing that says you can’t answer it. If you choose to do so, realize that you are giving information that is not job-related. You could harm your chances by giving the “wrong” answer.

Or you could respond with something like, “How would my answer to that question directly relate to my ability to perform in this position?” If you keep your tone non-confrontational, courteous and upbeat, they may realize they’ve goofed by asking such a question without getting upset at you for pointing out their mistake. Depending on how they respond, you may feel more comfortable answering.

The best strategy, I believe, is to figure out and address their TRUE CONCERN. When they ask something like, “Do you have a stable personal life?” they may be trying to protect themselves from a bad situation that they’ve had to deal with in the past (former employee whose personal problems interfered with his/her ability to do the job). So what they really want to know is, will YOU be a reliable employee who can be counted upon to show up and do your job effectively, regardless of any personal problems you may have.

So without directly answering their question, try to address their underlying concern. In this instance you might say, “My career is very important to me. I’m fully committed to performing at my highest level at all times, and don’t allow any kind of distractions to interfere with that. I’ll deliver the results you’re looking for.”

If you’re not sure what their true concern is, ask something like “Could you please rephrase or elaborate on your question? I want to make sure I address your concern.”

Please realize that many interviewers are untrained and therefore unaware that a question they might ask to break the ice — such as “Do you have any kids?” — is inappropriate. Yes, this question may be an attempt to determine if you have child-care issues that could interfere with your job… but it’s MORE likely that the interviewer is innocently trying to find something he/she has in common with you.

In the end, it’s basically a judgment call on your part. If you feel the interviewer has no legitimate reason to ask an inappropriate question, and you do not want to answer it, say “I’m sorry, but I don’t see how that has any relevance to my ability to do this job.” You might run the risk of losing the job, but if your gut instinct is telling you there’s something amiss, you wouldn’t want to work for that person anyway.

Here’s a list of some questions — the wrong way, and the right way, to obtain legitimate information:

Inappropriate: Are you a U.S. citizen?
OK: Are you authorized to work in the United States?

Inappropriate: How old are you?
OK: Are you over the age of 18?

Inappropriate: What’s your marital status? Do you have children?
OK: Would you be able and willing to work overtime as necessary?

Inappropriate: How much do you weigh? Do you have any disabilities?
OK: Are you able to perform the physical duties required in this job, with or without reasonable accommodations?

Inappropriate: Have you ever been arrested?
OK: Have you ever been convicted of _____? (The crime should be reasonably related to the performance of the job in question.)

A stellar resume goes above and beyond a basic resume, and when writing a stellar resume, make sure to highlight accomplishments, awards and productivity. Write a stellar resume by using specific formats and characters with the help of a management executive in this free video about writing job resumes. Expert: Gloria Dixon Campbell Bio: Gloria Dixon Campbell has an executive MBA in management from the University of South Florida, and a BA in Sociology from the University of West Florida …

Depending on where you live and the local laws, these are questions that are not considered to be legal interview questions but not actually be illegal to ask. An example of an unethical question would be one that asks you to divulge secret or confidential information about your current employer.

This might be a legal interview question but it’s one that simply shouldn’t be asked.

Another example of an unethical question would be one that asks you to do something that would benefit the company you are interviewing with and in exchange for doing it, would result in you getting the job. I’ve actually heard of companies who use a recruiter to find staff but then tell the job candidate that they will hire them under the table by cutting the recruiter out of the deal in order to not have to pay the recruiter!

Would you want to work for a company that treats people like this?

Probably not.

Another example of an unethical question would be one that isn’t actually unethical to ask but describes an unethical situation that you might face in your career and asks how you’d respond to the situation.

For example, I’ve heard the following question asked in an interview and the goal of asking the question was to gauge how the interviewee dealt with a hypothetical unethical dilemma that was posed to them:

Imagine that you have a chance to increase sales in your company by a significant amount of money by securing a very valuable contract that is worth $2 million. In order to gain this $2 million contract through, the person you are negotiating with has suggested that an under the table (ie. illegal or unethical) payment needs to be paid.

How would you respond?

In other words, would you accept the terms and make an under the table payment or would you walk away and refuse to make the payment but lose out on the $2 million contract in the process, perhaps to a major competitor?

A third way to handle the problem is probably the most effective and correct way to answer the question: keep negotiating until everything is above the table!

In other words, negotiate until everything is above-board and legal.

True, this would be an ideal result but remember this is just a hypothetical question and the interviewer would most likely be assessing your credibility and ethics to see how you deal with unscrupulous people.

The last thing a company wants to do is hire someone who does things “the wrong way!”

My friends came over for the weekend and brought two small gifts for my kids. One gift was a small stuffed animal and a book, the other a small puzzle; but what stood out was the presentation! Clear cellophane wrap around the book and beautifully tied rawhide ribbons tied in a bow that was so beautiful I didn’t even want to open it, or at least I wanted to somehow save it for re-gifting purposes. Presentation does make a difference! So I keep this in mind when I am looking at clients resumes. I like a resume printed on a good quality printer with no smudging, thick ecru paper, and if you are delivering it via email no italics and I like a little white space. If you are delivering the resume in person to a company or passing it along at a networking event, make sure you have a fresh manicure and a good haircut to boot. Clients often want to know a savvy way of combining their chaotic work history and how to package the gifts they have obtained throughout their military lifestyle. Should they go for “spouse-friendly employers” or hide the fact that they are a spouse on the run; they remember the hiring managers making comments on why they should or should not hire a candidate. Consider these tips as you go after the job of your dreams and remember that the law of attraction also applies to resumes, so regardless of my tips, if you love your resume others may love it as well!

1. Looks matter.
First impressions count so make your resume pretty! Consider limiting any bold or italic font as it often looks messy if the resume is scanned; better yet, try creating a clean PDF version of your resume as well so that it can be submitted to jobs electronically and not lose its professional appearance. Hiring managers are turned off by hard to pronounce names so if you have a difficult name put a nickname in parenthesis next to it for the job hunt-they can learn how to pronounce Vandana after you are hired. If you have an equally exquisite email address, consider changing that too. While friends may enjoying sending email to lovemymilitaryman@aol.com consider revamping the email listed on your resume to your initials or your first and last name and the internet provider; it will appear much more professional. You never know if a hiring manager is spying on MySpace or judging your personal address. In addition, make sure your home and cell phone voice mails are short, professional, and clear while you are job hunting.

2. Don’t play hard to get:
You don’t want a potential employer to call your house and be scared off by your sarcastic recording. Bottom line, make sure that you include a correct name, email, and mobile phone number that you can access at all times. Try to send resumes when you will have time to interview as well. If you are working full time, taking night classes, and about to have a baby you may not be free for potential interviews, and if a company calls you to come in and you postpone the date, another candidate may be hired on the spot just because they show up first. Perhaps postponing sending the resume until your summer holiday or three months postpartum will up your chances of being picked.

3. Making up for lost time:
Spouses often struggle with the proverbial gaps in their resume. Stop worrying about it so much and just think of what you did during that time that would still be worth listing. When you have a career gap it is ok to include those part-time extra jobs you took just to earn some money, and remember to word them as professionally as you can and include transferable skills such as customer relations or multitasking so your future employer sees some benefit to the work. You can also fill a gap with any volunteer work or schooling that may have been completed, especially if it is relevant to the job you are after. If you do have a lengthy gap in your resume try filling the gap with a few bullets rather than a lengthy explanation in a cover letter that should be focused solely on your strengths. If the gap is so big that you can’t even fill half a page, then go take an intro to computer class and volunteer at organizations associated with the type of work you want to do, join some professional organizations or attend a conference so you have something current to brag about.

4. Boldly define benefits:
Job selection experts are not mind readers so don’t assume they will understand military-spouse jargon; make sure your resume is clear and to the point. Write the resume with the company’s needs in the forefront of your mind rather than highlighting what you are seeking. Resumes are not job descriptions of what you did, but rather a personal press release that displays accomplishments in clear succinct bullets highlighting your strengths, your transferable skills, and past contributions that will cause you to stand out and pique their interest rather than a recap your entire employment history. Companies should be able to quickly see your credentials and spot highlights that make you a good match for their company.

5. Size doesn’t matter:
While one really good page is better than two so-so pages, don’t cut back or start shrinking text to comply. Remember that short and sweet is all you need; and I say go for the trendier “profile” instead of a generic objective (description of the job you are after). The company knows the objective if you are applying for a job and a profile summarizes your selling points. One page resumes are back in style so consider moving some of those accomplishments to the cover letter and pairing down the resume content to look more like a sales brochure than a dissertation. In addition to choosing a clean simple typeface, have your resume professionally edited, and avoid any jargon. Keep in mind that a positive tone and active first-person tense reads more attractively.

6. Don’t fake it:
Some spouses hire a fancy resume writer that rewords what they have done in old jobs to percentages and dollar signs of what they have accomplished, but then get stumped during interviews when they are quizzed on their own resume. Don’t list that you are an expert at databases if you have never worked with one. And instead of scattering resume buzz words and clichés throughout, make the resume authentic. First think of your top strengths and then use a strong verb that describes where you really excel rather than what looks good on paper. Not only will your confidence shine through, but once you are hired for the job it will end up being a much better match than if you exaggerate in your resume and end up being placed in a job that requires the “attention to detail” work you abhor.

7. Peeking isn’t cheating:
Go have a coffee at the library or local bookstore and peek at the resume book section. Do an online search, or better yet ask friends who are in good jobs if you can use their resume as an idea template. I am not saying to plagiarize a resume manual word for word, but as you read others’ resumes it may “remind you” that you also were awarded something that slipped your mind. It can even be useful to go back to your old employee handbook that describes your past job description to help jog your memory about your skills and successes. As long as your ideas come from enough different sources and really resonate with who you are, it isn’t cheating.

8. Tell your friends to brag:
As with everything else in military life, it never hurts to be over prepared. When you go to an interview bring a few extra copies of your resume in case you need to pass it along for a second interview-you never know. If you wrote “references available upon request” make sure that you actually have references and have a pre-typed one pager of these references and their contact information ready and on hand. Don’t forget to let folks know you have used them as a reference so they don’t blow your cover and say “Sara who” when a future employer actually calls.

9. Don’t assume:
Don’t assume the hiring manager knows how you are connected. If you know someone in the organization well, include your “contact” in the cover letter’s first paragraph. Some spouses assume that an employer knows they are proficient at the computer or that they have references available upon request. It never hurts to include all relevant job skills. Another assumption people make is that the human resource professional reviewing your resume knows all the jargon associated with each job. You want to stay away from abbreviations and jargon no matter how common you think the word is.

10. Show off your stuff:
A beautiful resume that stays on your computer isn’t going to get you that job. Contact all the military-spouse job resources and post your polished resume. In addition, print some extra copies and bring them with you so as you network you can pass them out. Try traditional job-search sites as well and don’t be afraid to put yourself out there. You have to kiss a lot of frogs before you find your prince, and the same goes for job hunting. Buy some nice folders and place a few resumes in them to drop off at your idea organizations. If an organization isn’t hiring, ask them if they can keep your resume on file just in case something opens up.

Now let’s get started!

• Write down everything you have done in the past about your work history from your first job until now. Include relevant volunteer work, seminars, and training you have received, and next to each item list the skills you acquired, such as answered a 5-line phone, presented to a group of 50, brought in X number of dollars in revenue, etc.

• Create a skeleton resume with the main content you want to share with potential employers, and then save this as “resume skeleton” on your computer; and then you may want to create two different resumes for the two directions you are headed. For example, one resume may include all your military volunteer work and be terrific for applying for that perfect position with a spouse-friendly employer, and the other resume may look more corporate and include only your work history, a P.O. box, and that “great” corporate contact in the cover letter.

• Have mentors (outside the military) review your resume and give you honest feedback.
