Shahbaz:

I’m glad the article helped! The fonts may show up a little different in the article than I actually used in my resume. On my personal resume I use Times New Roman for Header and body of the resume. In the body of the resume I use a 10-point font to make sure I can fit all of that important information on the page.

Thanks,
Zach

When you can, use your well developed and written resume as a follow up tool, not as the first item you present. Present yourself as the product, not your resume. It should be utilized at the close of any great conversation, without regard to how short it may have been. Use it to remind readers of your main strengths, and provide details that they are curious about. You won’t fall prey to the “send me your paper, and I’ll think about meeting with you” approach. The potential employer, or the person who is looking for the job, is not benefited by prescreening with the resume method. Have some discussions with people. Research the company thoroughly. Promote your skills and assets. Make it happen for yourself!

Kabul: Yes. As a Director of IT, if was handed your resume I’d say that you had way too much experience and I’d throw it away without even looking at it. If your CV/resume is 5 pages, then you are very advanced (read as “I can’t afford you”) or you have a hard time staying at one job (read as “I don’t want you”) or you’ve included too much irrelevant information (read as “I don’t have time for you” or “I don’t want you”).

I don’t mind getting a 2 page resume, but anything longer needs to be restricted a bit. And you can only shrink the font and cheat the margins so much before I don’t want to even look at it.

Remember, the resume/CV is your advertisement. It’s only job is to pique my curiosity enough to invite you to an interview. That’s where I want to hear about the particulars of your greatness.

I like this article… I hits all of the necessities. There is one thing I would expand on with using Buzz Words. Not only will HR look for these words, but if you post online employers will search for specific words. If you don’t include them, your resume won’t show up in the search.
