Your resume is your first appearance in front of your employer, it represents you and is the vital source of opening opportunities for you if properly managed. How should you manage your resume, let us take a brief look.


1. First of all and the most important thing is its looks. Its layout and setup should be simple, graceful and attractive. Selection of font, size and spacing matters a lot. Unnecessary bold letters, repetition of words and phrases, selection of many fonts and sizes irritate persons. A proper font and 2 sizes (one for heading and one for text is enough). You can highlight the matter on which you want to emphasize most.

2. You should write your resume in your own words. It would help you a lot in your interviews and afterward when you are on job. If you are not a good writer you can get help from an expert. But prepare it with his consultation rather than getting a ready made resume.

3. Be careful about the resume etiquette. Try to use the word ‘I’ as minimum as possible. Be brief, specific, positive, in an exciting manner. Try to avoid irrelevant matters. Emphasize most on the part of your qualification, training and experience relating to the job you are applying.

4. Truth is another important aspect of your resume. Never tell a lie or fabricate the matter. It might help you in the beginning but you might face very embarrassing situations afterwards. To work in the state of fear that your lie might be disclosed is another negative point of telling a lie.

5. Include a brief summary of your experience specially the assignment you have done related to the job you applied for. You can highlight most important of them.

6. Try to know as much about your employer and the company as you can prior to submitting the resume. Their way of working, their priorities, what they care most, and then make the resume in the light of these information.

7. Change your career summary into an objective. Companies are interested in what you can do for them, not a list of everything you've done before. Make sure the objective describes what you want to do and what you bring to the organization. You may choose to have more than one version since you indicated you are interested in several financial options. I have written a sample objective on your resume.

8. Make sure you list your job duties from each of your jobs in the order of preference to the job you would like to get, not the one you had, don't include any responsibility on your resume that you don't want to do again. People can only infer that if it's on the resume you must want to do it. Try and work up results from what you have done. Flesh out the items you want to highlight. One's eye is drawn to the larger paragraphs and therefore indicate an increased interest. This is particularly important in those positions that are closest to what you want to do.

9. Remove the months from the years of work experience. This makes the resume flow better and prevents gaps in work.

10. Place your achievements first on the list within each job. In fact, write them so that you demonstrate responsibility, achievement, and results. Then list those other responsibilities that are important, but that you can't show results.
