There is so much information on resumes, that if you read 30 different sources, you'll probably discover 30 different opinions. It's frustrating and aggravating to most job searchers. Still, if you want to compete in the job market, one thing is for certain: you need a dynamite resume.
Hiring sources today will not even speak with you without having a resume for them to review. Even if you are the BEST candidate for the position, hiring authorities will not bring you in for the interview if your resume does not grab their attention.
Should You Write Your Own Resume?
In short, the answer is "no." Why?
- For one thing, you are not familiar with the current buzz words, trends, preferences & technology used by hiring managers.
- It is hard to maintain objectivity about yourself; you may have slaved on a project and think it is a very important point, yet, in reality, it doesn't even belong on your resume
- You may select a format for all the wrong reasons (you like the way it looks, your brother-in-law used it, or you saw it in a "how-to" book)
- You have only one chance to capture the reader's attention - and you don't get a second chance to make a first impression
