Length of Resume

A resume is a window designed by the job seeker to give a glimpse of himself to the world of jobs.

Make sure your resume gives only a glimpse not the whole of you away. So to the point and crisp points always leave a deeper impact.

Just when you least expect you get a call from your dream company you contacted long back. And then? You are being asked to drop your updated resume.

Here is where the battle starts. What should your resume look like? How big is big enough and how small is too small?

Well, under much debate though, this is an extremely subjective choice.

Seekcareerz.com understands your battle of finding a job and thus tries to at least make the task of making an impressive resume a little easier.

Here are a few tips while making a resume:

1- LET QUALITY WIN
While making a resume focus more on quality. Decide every point as per its quality. Think is this really essential, will it really make a difference? For instance the duration for which you were the manager of the last company might not really be of any relevance and can be done away with. But at the same time how the company benefited like an increase in productivity by you being the manager might be worth mentioning.
So remember to mention all that it takes to make it to the job you are applying for even of it takes more than one page. And omit whatever is not directly related to it.

2- If your accolades genuinely exceed a page then let it.
Don't fret over making your resume short and strictly in a page at the cost of missing out on important features. Also sometimes candidates obsessed with the idea of one page resume reduce the font size which causes great inconvenience to the recruiter.
In such cases the recruiter has to actually spend a lot of time going over your resume even for small details. Don't do this. Let your achievements spill on to the next page range than causing discomfort to the reader.

3- Leftover space on page two?
It is not necessary that the page two of your resume fills up top to bottom. So what do you do with the space left unfilled.
It is always better to fill up that extra space with the things you compromised on to make a one page resume. Now that it has exceeded one page go ahead and mention all your achievements big and small.
Latest trend is to give the employer an insight into your personal interests or other activities by way of making pie charts or graphs for the same.
