SELF ASSESSMENT
Assessment or evaluation of oneself or
one's actions and attitudes, in
particular, of one's performance at a job
or learning task considered in relation
to an objective standard.
Who are you? This is not simple question. A
cursory answer is that you already know who
you are. But beyond your surface awareness
lie deeper qualities, which when evaluated.
Prepare you for landing a job: your skills,
achievements, interest, and even personal
values. Being aware of these qualities allows
you to better sell your product-yourself!

Know your skills:

Use verbs to describe your skills
Using verbs to gives the impression that
you are a dynamic person
Verbs are core in relating to your reader what
you have accomplished and where your skills
lie. But before choosing these action verbs,
you have to assess your interest in and
support for ideas that follow those verbs. For
example: you might write a list of skills under
each of the followings verbs:
Enjoy analyzing financial data
Administered a program of 10 student
working with minority businesses
Prepared consulting proposals in
response to tender offers
Help prepare the evaluating document
for core course in our school
Coordinated off-campus internships
Discovered that I like to negotiate,
preparing the written document and the
oral defense as based on that document
Noted that I worked well in mediating
differences between student group
members
Created three new products for our small
company from initial idea to product
manufacture and assembly
Delighted to speak before groups- both in
school and to outside groups
 Knowyour
accomplishments:

1.Record accomplishments
2.Use verbs along with the result of your
accomplishments
No matter how young or old you are,
you have already accomplished something.
Again , stating those accomplishments
followings a verb is a good way to profile
your accomplishments; show the result of
your specific achievements.

Know your interests:

1.Use your interest, preferences and
interest to show what kind of job will
suit you.

Analyzing your interests, preference and

attitudes can help you determine in what
type of job you can use your skills.
Which jobs have I enjoyed the
most? Why?
 Do I prefer to work with figures,
machines, people, or
ideas?
What do I like to do with my free
time?

Know your personal

values:
1. What is important to you and why
shows your personal values
2. You may use these values to
understand what kind of job you
would like
3. Values are difficult to measure, each
person carries in his or her own head
those things considered of prime
importance.

Respectively, the orders of the values

connected with the above descriptions
are altruism, prestige, adventure,
association, independence, power,
variety, physical activity, and money.
You can add to the above list for others
values you feel are importance.

RESUME (VITA,
QUALIFICATIONS BRIEF)

Phrases or incomplete sentences

are acceptable in a resume.
Having completed your self
analysis and market analysis, you
must now focus on writing your
resume
 Resume is a summary of your
qualifications and intended career
path. Some school requires all
student resumes to b consistent in
form. Some consistency allows
companies using a school resume
book to quickly review many
graduates and, on that basis, invite
some to a personal interview.

OPENING SECTION:
i. HEADING:
Information in the heading tells the
reader where you can be contacted.
ii. JOB OR CAREER
OBJECTIVE:
Based on your self-assessment and
an analysis of the job market, you
should try for a single sentences
statement of your goal. Such a
statement may be general or specific
General goal statement :
1. An entry-level sales position
2. An assistant in a brand
management area
 3. An entry-level position in
institutional lending

Specific goal statement :

1.An entry-level sales
position in automotive
parts
2. An assistant in brand
management in the food
industry
3. An entry-level position in
the lending section of the
savings and loan industry

EDUCATION :
Here are some recommendations
regarding what to include under the
heading Education
1. Include school names, locations,
dates attended, and degrees of
certificates earned. High schools are
usually not included. But if you did
something outstanding there, such
information may be added.
 2. Insert abbreviations for your
degree; most employers or their
human resources department are
familiar with major degree citations.
3. Decide whether to include you r
grade-point average. Certainly if it is
high, it should be included. If your
grade-point average is low, omit it.
Later in your resume your may
indicate, for example, that you
worked full-time to finance you
education and still managed to earn
a degree.
4. Determine whether to include
specific courses completed. In a
detailed resume, such information
may be unnecessary; companies
today know the basic required course
for most degrees.
5. Note honor and scholarships
Work Experience
The third section of a resume is usually
devoted to work experience. Here you
include information that help employers
evaluate whether you have the necessary
background for a current position. Clearly,
work experience similar to that for which you
are applying indicates you like the type of
work in question.
List your jobs in reverse chronological
order; put the present or most recent one
first. Keep in mind the following points:
1. Give the name, location and dates of
employment for each company
2. Insert your position and title, if any
beside each company.
3. Use verbs that show your major
accomplishments while working for each
company; be price as to the results of your
work experience. The list of action verbs on
the facing page is helpful.
Arrange the facts for each job in the best
selling order. Put the most important fact
first following your opening verb.
Follow the rules of parallelism, making two or
more elements in a series similar in
grammatical word structure. Manager,
representative, salesperson, accountant are
all parallel because each is a job title and a
noun. Managing, a kind of work would not
be parallel to the preceding titles. Duties, as
filing, word processing planning is parallel.
Most often the verbs as in the in the past
tense when describing activates perfumed for
a previous company.
Achievements Awards, Service
Activates:
Try to limit your rsum to one page. If you
have received few noteworthy awards, this
information may be omitted or included in
sections on education and work experience.
Receiving any award deserves mention in a
resume. Additional items often include
offices held athletic accomplishments,
published materials, fluency in foreign
languages, speaking awards and community
services that involve working with people.
Personal Data (Optional)
Including personal information is now
entirely optional. Civil rights laws clearly
prohibit discrimination in hiring on the basis
of race, age, religion, sex marital status, or
national origin. Exceptions include
occupational restriction or occupations. For
example, some jobs, such as playing
professional football, May reasonable require
certain physical attributes.
 References
Employers today often ask prior t or just
after an interview for a list of reference.
Including a long list of individuals in a resume
is becoming less usual. Potential employers
know you will select persons who will
evaluate you positively. Often the phrase
References available on request is the last
statement at the end of a resume.
Sample Resumes
In the preceding sections were discussed
the six major parts of the resume: opening
section, education, work, experience,
achievement, personal date, and reference.
Review the following four examples.
All the above guiders for completing a
resume are just as applicable to creating your
material for electronic resume transmission.
There, however, your material can be read by
many readers, particularly on line resume
service organizations hired by human
resource department of corporations.

Cover Letter to Resume

Also called the cold contact letter or
the job application letter, the resume cover
letter has one purpose: to attract the
interested of your prospective employer to
give you a job interview. A resume could be
called the shotgun approach it covers much
material; a resume cover letter could be
called the rifle approach as well. Try to write
one page that include all you data in specific
word not to write about you left and write ,
your resume must be mention of specific
detail.
Opening- For Favorable Attention
a.Summary Opening
b.Name Opening
c. Question Opening
d.News Item Opening
Middle Paragraph for Data, Details
Two or at most three paragraphs is all the
space you have to persuade your reader you
have the necessary job qualifications.
Avoid repletion of facts in the
resume.
Ask yourself: which two points
effectively show a potential
employer that I have the
necessary qualifications?
Conclude each statement with
this question: So what?
 Include brief, valid starling data
(Evidence) in support of your job
qualifications
Put your strongest argument
first.
1.Education
2.Work Experience
3.Personal Attitudes, interested,
Activates, Qualities.
Last Paragraph- For Action

action here, more than in other part of the
your resume job application letter, use the first
person singular I some suggestions
Make the action esay.
Be precise as to time you can be
reached by phone
Suggest that it is possible for
you to come to the employers
office
Suggest that it possible for you
