Tips on Writing an Effective Resume
Resumes are prepared for a very precise reason - to be successful in getting an interview call. A resume is an ad copy & nothing more and nothing less.
A great resume does not just convey what you have done but asserts what all good ads do. It convinces the employer that you have what it takes to be successful in this new position or career. It would be a mistake if you consider your resume as a history list of your past or a personal statement. Resumes are written with an intent to create interest and persuade the employer to call you for an interview.
Resume Writing Tips
More often than not, Resume writing involves several long hours and heaps of wasted paper. JobsBazaar Resume Maker will help you build a well formatted worldclass resume online within just 15 to 20 minutes depending on how extensive your resume is. You could get it right the first time by following the tips offered by us.
It is often found that job seekers do not read the job description. The result is a resume that does not fit the recruiter's requirement neither in skills nor in experience. Most recruiters do not have the time or the patience to scan through your resume. You will have to highlight the applicable skills and experience you have, pertaining to the job offered.

When a company does not offer a formal job description, you could contact the hiring manager and find what he is looking for in the position you are interested in. In case that you cant reach anyone, review the job listings with similar titles for a group of core competencies.
Focus your writing efforts
Be clear on what the employer is looking for and what you have to offer before you begin writing your resume. Write your answers to the question - what would make someone the perfect candidate?

You will have to make a choice between the two basic styles of resumes. 1. Chronological and 2. Functional.

A chronological resume organizes your work history emphasizing experiences that precisely apply to a particular position.

A functional resume is preferred when you have little or no experience in an industry. It presents your skills in categories that emphasize on particular skills the job requires. For instance, if the job description lays emphasis on strong sales skills, dividing the resume into categories such as "communication skills", "negotiation skills", "persuasion skills" etc. could be considered.
Present the list of your accomplishments
Most job seekers often fail to mention their accomplishments, and the results of their accomplishments. These details not only distinguish you from the horde of others who seek the job, but also present you a chance to negotiate your pay better.
Use keywords
If there are terms that show your competence in a particular field, use them in your resume. Marketing people might use "competitive analysis" while an software professional could have "Java" or "ASP"
Consider a highlight section
Recruiters and hiring managers seldom take over a minute to read a resume. To make your minute count, consider including a highlight section at the top of your resume, directly below your name, and, if you use one, your objective. Highlight sections mainly benefit job seekers whose qualifications do not exactly match the job description. You are more likely to get the recruiter's attention by emphasizing your transferable skills and exceptional accomplishments at the top of your resume instead of scattering them throughout.

The highlight section could be formatted in a bulleted list presenting the following details. 
1. Number of years' experience in the field or line of work
2. Relevant credentials or training.
3. An accomplishment that directly relates to the job.
4. A personal "quality" or "characteristic" that relates to the job.
5. Another accomplishment or characteristic that relates to the job.
Proof read your resume
An elegant error free resume is fundamental to a successful job search. Typos, misprints, illegible text and grammar errors would almost certainly land your resume into the trash basket.
Have someone else review your resume
It is often easier said than done to find one's own errors. It can also be difficult to judge one's high points oneself and clearly convey one's accomplishments. Have someone review your job search objective, your resume, and listings of positions that interest you. The reviewer's questions can help you discover areas you unconsciously left of your resume, or might provide you an insight into what areas seem to be confusing.
