Resume writing is always a challenge especially for those who are either changing their profession or changing job after a long gap. There are two main challenges, what to show and how to show? In my case, I have to write a resume after 10 years, things and trends all are changed. So how to proceed then?
I had consulted many of my well-wishers and few of them were really great and took a step ahead for me, they have not only guided me about writing the resume but also shared few valuable trainings about how to write a better resume.
Two points, which I learnt from all these are, write your resume according to the opportunity and write precise instead of a biography. However that is not so easy. I still needed guidance and expert to understand these two types of resume.
As an exercise, I have opened the LinkedIn and closely read many of my mentor’s and colleague’s profiles. Few of the profiles were ideal for me and helped me learning, how to craft a meaningful resume, still all these work was very manual and took lots of effort and time. Luckily my friends and mentors are with me and they helped me to get it finalized.
Many job seekers might not get such kind of guidance, but now they should not be worried as LinkedIn has recently introduced the Resume Assistance with Microsoft Office 365. This is amazing and will be a boon for all job seekers. It is simple and quicker. It allows us to explore the LinkedIn profile in a proper way and get the resume crafted. It kind of giving power to everyone and boosting their confidence.
