Resume MAking Tips

I got this from my friend , this is very usefull.
follow these tips to build your resume and get a good impression on seeing you resume.

ALL THE BEST

Build Your Resume
Not only is your resumé the first thing an employer sees, it is what the employer will use to decide whether you move on to the next stage of the employment process. Make your first impression count.
Tailoring Your Resume To The Job
An effective resumé describes your education and experience that specifically relate to the job you are applying for. Your resumé is a written snapshot that should clearly support your career goal and be tailored to the particular position for which you are applying.
Have a specific job in mind when you are creating your resumé. Analyze job descriptions for the skills and abilities that employers are seeking. Read through descriptions, highlight the required skills, attributes and qualifications. Address three or four main areas in your resumé.
Assessing Your Skills & Accomplishments
Take some time to think about your accomplishments and create a list: things that you did well, enjoyed doing, and were proud of. Include education/training, volunteer opportunities, jobs, projects, school assignments, travel, and group/team activities. Describe in detail what you did, why you did it, who you did it with, what equipment you used, and what happened. Quantify your results, if possible, and use commonly understood terminology. Identify the personal strengths and skills that you use to achieve your accomplishments. Don't be humble; this is your chance to promote your skills and abilities.
Writing Your Resume
When asked what is most desirable in a job applicant, employers inevitably mention communication skills, rather than the number of years of industry experience an applicant has, the college from which he or she graduated, or even the company for which he or she last worked. Your ability to write correctly will influence your ability to get a job.
Being able to write well means you will present yourself better in your resumé and cover letter. You will be able to speak with confidence and will handle yourself better during interviews. Your thank you letters and follow-up correspondence will impress employers.
While composing your resume, write descriptive phrases. Write short phrases that describe what you did and illustrate each skill. Be concise and specific. Arrange the descriptive phrases in order of relevance to the position for which you are applying
