Can someone give me some input on my resume?

Q: ***I would really like someone who has experiences with resume or knows a lot about resumes to help me. I really need to get back out there after being a stay-at-home mother and a college student for some time now. Can someone give me some input on my resume? I am not sure I am doing this correct. I’ve read numerous resume how-to books, but it can be really intimidating to put your work history on paper. I read that I should put my education first, if it’s my strongest selling point, so that’s what I did, hopefully that’s right. And is it okay to add unpaid work experiences, such as family run business? Most of my jobs are similar how do I group them up so that it doesn’t take up so much space, because they basically are the same.

A: I am good at resumes from a couple of decades of practice. Understand that your resume is the device that is intended to get you the interview. I recommend the following and we can correspond more at cadelarge@yahoo.com if you like.1. Organize your resume around transferable and relevant skills first, then around work history on a subsequent page as employers are buying your skills not your work chronology.2. Group your bullets by transferable skill as listed in the job description of the position you are applying for. Employers are interested in matches to the job description more than they are in your work chronology or irrelevant skill sets. Also, use words that the employer uses in the job description as most resume selections are done via keywords in company resume databases and internet job boards these days and they are likely to use their own words when they search.3. Reference all relevant examples of relevant skills and experience whether from paid or unpaid work, i.e., management of your home and family, church and other volunteer or community work. If you exercised the skill and got a good result reference it.4. Decribe the results your experience yielded, i.e., money and time made or saved, process improved, relationships built or retained. Untilmately, employers are buying people who can get results, where they results were achieved is secondary.5. Prepare appendices to your resume which allow the employer to more easily access the information they need that shows you are qualified. I have an appendix of all the brands and categories I have done marketing in so that employers can quickly see this information. I only use it when going for marketing positions.There you have it. I have used these tips faithfully for years and get constant complements, interviews and offers based on my resume.Good luck and do not hesitate to contact me if you need further help.Paraclete Performance
