client and/or review their existing information:
1. Contact information, including photo, logo,
or avatar
2. Skills and Abilities
3. Achievements
4. Work History
5. Education
6. Groups, professional or community
7. Presentations
8. Papers/articles
9. Certifications/special training

it is important to understand the career goal and any specifics regarding
primary job target(s) – these may be very different or differ in only subtle
ways. The purpose of the résumé and/or
goal of the job seeker is an integral part of formatting the résumé and
presenting the various parts.
The
Objective or Profile section really sets the tone for the rest of your résumé
and should be carefully considered and formatted. The reader should quickly get a feel for:
- Who you are
- What you can do
- What kind of position/employer you want
WHAT DOES A PROFILE OR
OBJECTIVE LOOK LIKE?
This is more of a
Profile:
“A results-driven, customer-focused, articulate
and analytical Senior Software Engineer who can think “out of the box”. Strong
in design and integration problem solving skills. Expert in Java, C#, .NET, and
T-SQL with database analysis and design. Skilled in developing business plans,
requirements specifications, user documentation, and architectural systems
research. Strong written and verbal communications. Interested in a challenging
technical track career in an application development environment.” Via http://jobsearchtech.about.com/od/gettingthejob/a/SWE_Resume.htm
This is more of an
Objective:
To obtain a software developer position that
allows me to learn new technologies while utilizing my experience developing
web-based applications as well as my knowledge of ASP, HTML, VBScript, and
JavaScript.”
