Top News About Writing Resumes Career Advice & Information

Before writing your resume, you wrote notes on what makes you the best candidate for your intended position. You will have looked at the many characteristics and qualities that you believe your prospective employer will be looking for in the ideal candidate.

Now is the time to tailor your Summary section to matching those specific needs. Every statement made in your Summary section will be targeted to show the employer that you have what it takes to fill that position.

Work on writing positive and affirming statements that exemplify your unique abilities and talents to be most affective in the intended position. Practice using descriptive words.

If you want to write that you are a good leader, write instead that you are "proven leader" with initiative and motivational skills that cause others to act! Describe why you are good at what you do and leave no room for interpretation.

Using words like "good" and "competent" speaks in general terms. Describe how you possess these attributes and you will have done your job well!

Below, you will find a variety of suggestions for composing your Summary section. You can select those that best suit your skill-set. Experiment a bit, first, and then zero in on those that best reflect what you have to offer a perspective employer. Remember, your Summary section is critical to your resumes success.

Few people will use all of the suggestions. Doing this might be seen as over-kill. You are encouraged to say the most, while writing the least.

- Start with a concise phrase that describes your profession.
- Next, another concise phrase showing your broad or specialized experience.
- Make a few more concise statements to show the following:
- the full extent of your skill-set
- the variety of your skills
- diversity in your experience
- an accomplishment worth noting
- Anything remarkable about your accomplishments.

Optional

- Professional achievements

February 2, 2007 22:33 - Writing The Skills And Accomplishments Section

In the Summary section of your resume, you can brag a little. In the Skills and Accomplishments section you can brag a little more.

This section will cap off all that qualifies you for your intended position. You will show your prospective employer that there can be no other and the journey stops with YOU!

How do you do this best? You continue to show that you are the right one for the job by going into better detail about all that you wrote of in your Summary section. This requires careful wording so as not to be repetitious. If you can pull this off professionally, using words that glow, you will have the attention you are looking for!

The most key point about writing this section is you are not going to inform. You are going to highlight in more detail, what your prospective employer already believes to be true about you as an ideal candidate.

The Purpose of your Skills and Accomplishments Section

Go into good detail about the following:

· Any benchmarks or landmarks accomplished as the result of your unique skill-set.

· Using facts, figures and statistics, show how your best efforts showed the best results.

· Your specific talents and unique gifts as related to your job.

· All accomplishments that sets you apart.

To be most effective, you will use clear, crisp writing that sums up. You are going into detail here, but not so much that this section reads like a story.

Key Point -- Write so that you give hints and not complete details. You want your prospective employer to call you in for the interview to learn more! This is critical.
