Many formats of resumes, many resume writers, many resume services … Well you are confused – and want to know what is best for you? In my professional life as a recruiter I have seen thousands of resume formats. With the large number of applicants most of the employers just evaluate resumes in a glance. Now in a series of articles we will be sharing some of the questions which candidates normally have and their answers.
How many variants of resumes should I have?
Most of us look for career options in various industries and functions. We recommend you use separate resumes for each industry and function. And sometimes even you may want to write a targeted resume for a company.We recommend that you should customize your resume to highlight the stuff that will impress your prospective employer.
How many pages my resume should have?
Ideally – one page and if you can not shorten the stuff – at the most two pages. Never use more than two pages. Now when you go down to write the one page resume you will come up with most relevant content for your target reader. If something is not important – it does not deserves the space in your resume. But do not try to reduce font to fit the stuff in one page – no font below 10 points is advisable.
