Your Resume Looks Great! Do you Know what is on it?
Author: Lavie Margolin, Career Coach If someone helped you with your resume, do you know what is on it? Recently, Rick went on an interview. The interviewer felt Rick was professional, well spoken and a good candidate overall. Why wasn’t he hired? He was unfamiliar with some of the technical terms listed on his resume. When preparing a resume, we often get caught up in making sure that it will shine. We include all of our accomplishments, flesh out the duties of the jobs we have held and include all of our skills. The resume will get you in the door for the interview. When you are in the interview, can you explain everything that is on your resume? When preparing a resume, make sure that the skills, experience and knowledge that are listed are accurate. If a person lists technical skills that they do not have, it will often come out in the interview. If someone is helping you to prepare the resume, read it over carefully before sending it out to potential employers. Once you are comfortable with your resume and have secured an interview, read through each line of your resume as part of your interview preparation. Be prepared to: 1. Explain the technical skills listed on
your resume and where you acquired those skills.
