While reading your resume, Helping your Readers to perform their Tasks



Helping your Readers to perform their Tasks 

Drafting  When you draft, you transform your plans, notes, outlines, and ideas into a communication. For your resumes that you create at work, you must not only draft a prose but also draft the design the visual appearance of your message.

Drafting the Prose

While you draft the prose of your resume, keep in mind your imaginary portraits of your readers. Remember that your purpose is to enable those people to locate the answers to their questions relating you. The feeling by personnel manager may surprise you “After all, once I present my qualifications, shouldn’t an employer be able to match me to an appropriate opening?” The answer to that question lies in your imaginary portrait of your reader. What should your professional objectives look like? By convention, such statements are one or two sentences long and are usually general enough that the writer could send them, without alteration to many prospect employers. If you follow the convention, for example, you would not say “I want to work in the process control department of Adam Jee Cloth Manufacturing Unit.” Instead, you would make a more general statement like “I want to work in the process control of a mid-sized cloth manufacturing unit.” This does not mean, however, that you need to develop a single professional objective that you can send to all employers you might contact.

Professional Objectives

When you state your professional objective, you answer your reader’s questions ‘what exactly do you want to do?’ Your answer can be extremely important to the resume. In contrast, people in other fields such as advertising are accustomed to seeing highly unconventional resumes, perhaps printed on pink paper. In a survey, personnel officers of 500 largest corporations of the United States reported that the most serious problem they find with the resume is the failure to specify the job and career objectives.

You could write multiple resumes each with professional objective suited to respective fields. Consequently, the challenge you face when writing your professional objective is to be neither too general nor too specific. You have struck the proper balance if you could send the same resume to several companies and if your readers can see that you want to work in a particular kind of organization.

Education

When describing your education you provide evidence that you are capable of performing the job you applied for. The basic evidence is your college degree, so you should name the college and your degree and the date of graduation.

Remember: If your grades are good, mention them. If you have earned any academic honor, mention it. If you have any specialized academic experience, such as a co-assignment or internship, describe it.

Example:

By looking at Ramon and Sharon’s resumes you can see how three very different people have elaborated on the way their education qualify them for the jobs they want. Ramon, for example describes his honors in a separate section, thereby making them more prominent than they would have been under the simple heading of ‘Education’.
