There are three types of résumés: chronological, functional and combination. You might want to consider
more than one format of résumé if you're applying for multiple jobs.
Create A Header.
A header should include your name, phone number and email address. You can also include your mailing
address, but leave it out if you plan to post your résumé online.
Write A Summary.
In one or two sentences, summarize your work experience and relevant skills. Keep this strong and
simple.
List activities in which you have participated and include what your specific role was in each.
List the schools you've attended, starting with the most recent one. Include details such as GPA, class rank
or special awards.
7. List Any Awards You've Won and When You Won Them.
When you've been recognized by someone else, you should let potential employers know about it. But
you shouldn't worry if you haven't received any awards; just skip this section.
Mention the job (or kind of job) you're applying for (or looking for)
Show that your skills and experience match the skills and experience needed to do the job
Finish with a call to action (for example, asking for an interview or a meeting).
Plan out an outfit that fits the culture of the company you are applying for. If the company does not have a
dress code, it’s a good idea to wear business casual.
2. Arrive on time
Don’t ever arrive at a job interview late! It’s best to arrive 15 minutes before the scheduled time in case
you have to fill in some paperwork. This also allows you to settle down and check out the dynamics of the
office.
Be polite and greet everyone you meet, including people you meet in the elevator. When you enter the
interview, offer the interviewer a warm greeting. These first few seconds can make or break your
interview. At the end of the interview, don’t forget to thank the interviewer for giving you the opportunity
for the meeting. When you leave the company, say goodbye to the receptionist.
Poor body language, such as playing with a pen, chewing gum, slouching, and even brushing back hair,
can be a distraction. If you notice you have a tendency to do any of these, train yourself to avoid these bad
habits. You can replace them with positive body language that include nodding, eye contact, smiling, and
solid posture.
Most interviewers end an interview by allowing the candidate to ask questions. Regardless of how well
you know the company and how thorough the interviewer in telling you about the job, you must ask a few
questions. The more insightful your questions are, the more you will impress your interviewer.
4. Right Attitude when already at the job:
Punctuality: This is the ability of a worker to resume to work early i.e the appropriate time.
Commitment: It is showing a strong belief in the work and doing the job with your whole heart.
5. Sample job hiring:
