  • you have the right professionalism for the job
  • you have appropriate skills and experience

How long the resume should be?

The length of the resume is not as important as the content so make sure you will focus on the content not on the length.

What should you include in your resume?

  • contact information
  • opening statement
  • key skills
  • software or technical skills
  • career overview/personal attributes
  • educational qualifications
  • work placements/employment history
  • referees/references

In writing a resume, make sure that you will be honest, especially on your skills and work experiences. You surely don’t want to put yourself in vain right? So as much as possible, include only those which will make the company believe that you are qualified for the job. Also, if you want to make sure that the company where you want to apply will immediately search you; you can include some keywords on your resume. There are instances that employers and researchers would search for keywords, which will lead them into your profile.
