Refreshing your Resume

What should I include in a Career Summary?



 

Because you want your resume to stand out from the crowd and you want to tell the hiring manager as soon as he picks up your resume that you are right for this job, you should put together a clear and concise Career Summary and add this to your Skills Summary on TipTopJob so that when recruiters are searching the resume database, they can tell at a glance if you are suitable for them.
 


Start with a heading to hook the reader which includes the job title and why they should hire you.
 


Research the job so you can customise this as best you can. Find out what the job requirements are that you want to do and tailor your skills and qualifications to this.
 


Try to focus on just one career here and if you are going for several different types of jobs then create a summary and resume for each one.
 


Pick out your best bits from your career achievements, results and skills so they are in the hiring managers face. If you find this hard, try writing everything you can think of and ask your colleagues what they think your skills are. From this you can then pick out the best ones that are relevant to the job you are going for.
 


Once complete proof read it and ask someone to check over it.
