On a resume, education credentials vary widely. For an entry level position, including related coursework, a good grade point average, and graduation date (or expected graduation date) are appropriate. When listing your education, the further you are away from your graduation date, the less information you need to list. If you have older positions that are not relevant, you may not need to include them. Remember that you need to list jobs in reverse chronological order. You want to focus on telling why you would be the right fit for the company and for the job. Show how you impacted the sales in your prior positions.
You need statements for each job position that help the reader see that you performed above and beyond expectations. All of the other applicants for the job to sell computers will have that on their resumes. Instead, say how much you increased sales during your tenure or include a sales award that you received. For example, don’t use a statement like “sold computers”. Make it stand out with a quantifiable achievement. To really show off your accomplishments and experience, don’t just list a general duty. If you want to add a short paragraph about how you are the right fit for the job you are applying for, then title the section “Summary”. Many recruiters say that they don’t want to see an “Objective” section any more. Use their vocabulary and focus as you draft your resume. Invest the time to research the organization where you are applying. Tailor your resume to different job positions, industries, and company cultures. Read job descriptions carefully and analyze your attributes to determine what should be listed first.
Or, do you have the skills and experience for the job but maybe not the best degree for the position? In that case, put your education further down in the resume document. For example, if you have solid credentials for the job, use a template that begins with education. Put your best foot forward by choosing a clean format that highlights your best features. Gather all of your data that will go into the resume. Even if you start with a Microsoft Word template, you can still make some simple changes to get your resume reader’s attention. No matter the content of your resume, you can still design and format your resume in a way that stands out and promotes a second glance from the recruiter.
We want it to “Wow!” the reader so that it is not sent into the shredder or email recycle bin. For some recruiters, it is even less than 6 seconds. We all want our resume to be the one that the recruiter looks at more than the average 6 seconds.
