I was applying to all the top companies, bubt unfortunately I was too young for all the big tech companies, well at least thats what I thought. The truth was something else. It had nothing to do with my level of experience. I just need to tune up my resume and add some zing to it. Make it a "better" resume. what is a better resume?
There are as many opinions on the subject of resumes as there are job seekers! Some of the more popular opinions are centered on the use of objectives, summaries, profiles, title headings, keywords, reference statements, personal interests, salary history, dates, graphics, fonts, and of course, the length of the resume.
Then there is the question of format. Should the style of a resume be chronological, functional or combination? One thing is certain - the resume should sell a candidate's strengths and qualifications, and answer a hiring manager's question, "How can you solve my problem?" It should also have full contact information, be organized, and provide specific information that a hiring manager needs to decide whether or not a candidate is well suited for a position. At the very least, it should list relevant experience and achievements.
I started looking for information online and bumped into www.dhishoom.com. Simple looking Job Site was what it was to everyone else, but to me it was the elixir of my life. i was sucking up the resume advice, Job Articles, Career Tools and the Jobs pertaining to my experience level.
Eventually, I got my first Phone Interview, from a very well renouned On of the Top Fortune 500 Companies and I was prepared. Guess what...I nailed it !!!!
I love my Job and hope you do the same !
