WorkBloom features over 300
professionally-written resume samples. They are
categorized by industry in the grey column at the right
of the page. The resume samples on WorkBloom
feature a wide range of layouts, formats and writing
styles, each unique to the
resume writer
that wrote the resume. As you look at these resume
samples for guidance and inspiration, pay attention to
the following:
- Look at the
resume layouts
and see how they help make the resume look more
professional. Even before reading the resume,
a recruiter will be impressed by a well-designed
layout.
- Look at the
resume format
and figure out why the writer of the resume chose
that format over another one. Decide for
yourself if that choice was warranted.
- Look at the resume samples
carefully and analyse what the writer did to
highlight the strengths of the candidate while
drawing attention away from his or her weaknesses.
- Look at how the writer
structured the resume sample, what headings he or
she used, what information was included and what
information was omitted.
As you go through the resume
samples featured on WorkBloom, see what style you liked,
what style you disliked and what resumes caught your
eyes (good and bad). Notice the resume writers
and, if you do not feel confident about writing your
resume, check them out. If you do not have good
writing skills or do not feel comfortable asking someone
you know to help, retaining the services of a
professional resume writer may be a good alternative.
Whatever it takes to land you a job.
If you choose to write your own
resume, remember that each
person is unique and that your resume should represent
who you are. We all have different backgrounds and
how others perceive us will eventually depend on how we
present ourselves. What may be clear in your mind
may not be that clear to a stranger. Do not forget
that the person who will read your resume will probably
know nothing about you and will have very little
patience. Be clear, be concise and be persuasive.
Most important, do not be afraid or shy to
promote yourself.
In addition to the many resume
samples in this section, WorkBloom's Resume Center also
features other resources to help you write the best
resume you possibly can. Do not hesitate to
consult our resume
tips and resume mistakes sections for advice on things to do
and things to avoid. On that note, best of luck.
You can do it!
