Overview
Resumes open doors. They directly impact your chances of securing an interview appointment:

Your resume is your first introduction to potential employers; they meet your resume before they meet you. Does your resume present your competencies coherently and comprehensively?
Your resume must sell your competencies in a matter of minutes. With a large number of applications to sift through, interviewers seldom take more than 3 minutes to make a shortlist decision based on the resume. Does your resume present information strategically to make a strong immediate impact?

Your resume is therefore your only tool to convince potential employers you are worth their time. It is important to take time and build a resume that not only does justice to your competencies, but presents them efficiently and professionally.

Resume Advice

KISS – Keep It Short and Simple.

Try to limit your resume to 3 pages.

Be completely truthful and honest with the information
in your resume.

Do not leave out employment dates. It creates suspicions
and gets you disqualified immediately.

Avoid fanciful design and binding that screams for attention. Keep it simple and professional so that important information is captured at a glance.

Give a brief description of the business activities of the companies you have worked for.

Do not attach supporting documents unless you are asked to do so.

Modify your resume to highlight strengths and competencies that are relevant to the role you are applying for

Make sure your information is complete.
