Your resume should answer the following questions:
1. What special expertise did you bring to your current job?
2. Attach any special praise, certificates of achievement presented to you or your department.
3. What were the problems or challenges that you or the organisation faced?
4. What did you do to overcome the problems?
In all, the complete length of your CV should not be more than 2 pages.
Do not use long-winded sentences and old-fashioned language.
"Sir, I would hereby draw your esteemed attention to the way my talents are in tandem with your company’s long-term goals” is a sentence most employers do not have time to read. Be specific, be direct. Which goals will you help the company to achieve better sales revenue, a new strategy to cut costs, better management of inter-department communication. Explain in a few crisp sentences what you do now, and what you aim to do in your new job.
Keep references ready but provide only if asked for
Referees (people in responsible positions who refer you for the job) are the key to get a good job. Keep at least two good referees lined up but do not list them unless you are asked for them.
Eliminate unnecessary resume details
Hobbies and other personal interests should only be included if they relate to the positions you’re interested in.
