The 30 Second Resume
Did you know that the average time spent on reading a resume is about less than half a minute? You only have that much time to capture the attention of the reader, so make it count! Here are a few tips on how to make your resume worth a second look:


Fit In, Stand Out!

As much as possible, you should follow an approved resume format. You wouldn't want to stand out for the wrong reasons. Let the content of your resume do the talking.

Brevity is Key

"Good things, when short, are twice as good." -Baltasar Gracian, The Art of Worldly Wisdom

Do not use two words, if one can do. Go straight to the point. Reading hundreds of resume per day takes up valuable time and opportunity costs, not just for the Human Resource staff, but also for the company.

Knowledge is Power

Know your job objectives. What job do you want?

Sell, Sell, Sell

Your resume is your personal advertisement laying claim to your worth or marketability as a product.

Make sure you include the other necessary information such as Education, Co-curricular Activities, Work-Related Experiences, Awards Received, Seminars Attended, Skills, and Interests.

Your resume is all about YOU, how well you have performed, and your accomplishments, especially those that are relevant to the work you'd want to have.

First Impressions Last

Use power verbs. Action words add impact to your resume and help capture the attention of the reader. It's the added "oomph" to your writing that makes your resume worth a second look.

Make sure that you spell your words right. Grammar check your resume, too.

Honesty is the Best Policy

Your resume has to state about who you are and what you have done, not who you want to be and what you want to do. Never include information that is not true. Even if it helps you get in, sooner or later, you will be paying the price.

If you mention references in your resume, make sure that these people are informed, know you personally, and willing to give a good evaluation of you to the potential employer.

Remember, the initial purpose of a resume is not for you to be offered a job, but for the company to want to interview you.

Benjamin Said:

What things should I include in my job resume?

We Answered:

First of all, do NOT include your Social Security Number on a resume. Ever!

Since it sounds as though you are just starting out in your field, start your resume with your contact information:

Name
Address
City, State, Zip code
Phone and e-mail address

Next comes your OBJECTIVE. State what you wish to accomplish. For example: I am seeking an entry level position in a beauty salon or cosmetology department where I can utilize and expand upon my recently acquired skills.

Next comes EDUCATION. This is where you should list where you attended cosmetology school and cite specific classes you have taken or certifications you have received. This is particularly important, especially if you have no practical work experience to offer.

Right beneath this, I would list what you gained from attending this school. For example: Learned how to perform COSMETOLOGY SKILL while working with a diverse clientele. Mention things like "working under pressure," "taking direction from instructors" and "dealing with diverse groups of customers in a fast-paced environment." This wil show your potential employer that you understand the industry you are about to become involved in.

Once you have listed all your Cosmetology related courses, list any relevant job experience you may have. Be sure to list any jobs where you have either worked with other people or dealt with several co-workers, as people skills are very important in your future line of work.

Next, list relevant JOB SKILLS. These should be different than your cosmetology skills. These would include things like: Work well with Customers and Clients. Excellent Communication Skills. Fluent in Spanish. Proficient in Microsoft Office. The more skills you have to offer, the more desirable you will be to a prospective employer.

Next, list any other EDUCATION you have received, whether it be high school or college.

Finally, list the names and phone numbers of any REFERENCES you may have. Be sure to ask their permission first! This might include the names of instructors you had at Cosmetology school or even the name of satisfied clients.

If you want to send me your resume when you are done, I will be happy to take a look at it for you. Feel free to leave off your name and contact information. :-)

Good luck.
