Good Resume Sample

As you would discover if you were to conduct an impromptu survey, is that you are not alone in wondering what to include and what to exclude in your accounting resume. Most other applicants for accounting jobs do. After all, your resume is essentially your advertisement to prospective service buyers (employers), and is one of the documents, perhaps the most important one of them all, that goes a long way in determining whether or not the prospective service buyer opts to purchase your services or those of your competitor for the same position.


Saving Time in Your Job Search is Easier than You Think

Don"t you sometimes wish that you could just cut out hours in your job search? Sometimes it seems to take so darn long to research and apply. But the good news is that it really doesn"t have to take very long if you know how to fine-tune your job search. Done correctly, you could easily shave a significant amount of time off of the search and have time for other life duties.


Resume Optimization

1. Create a section for your keywords at the top of your resume

ò€¢ This will increase your keyword count and your chances of making it by the first cut

ò€¢ Can be titled "Professional Overview" "Career Summary" or "Keyword Competencies"

ò€¢ The goal is to optimize your resume by providing all the keywords that relate to your potential job. Give all the keywords you can think of that a recruiter would search for pertaining to your job title, skills, experience, abilities and expertise.

For example if you are in sales a section for your keywords could look like this:

"Sales, business development, qualifying, value, negotiation, deal closing, solution, goals, ethics, generate, recommend, accommodate, growth"

2. Condense your statements

ò€¢ Leave out articles "a", "an" and "the". For example, instead of "accommodated the needs of clients," condense it to say "accommodated client needs"

ò€¢ Your job summaries should focus on accomplishments and not tasks. Thus you should leave out "responsibilities" and "duties".

ò€¢ No need to clarify who you are talking about in your resume. Omit personal pronouns like "I", "me" or "my"

3. Choose your format wisely

ò€¢ Bulleted lists are always easier to read than long paragraphs

ò€¢ Separate information by underlining, italicizing, or putting the headlines in bold.

ò€¢ Use a widely accepted typeface like Times New Roman and Arial or select a fresh, sophisticated font like Strayhorn or Ellington.

ò€¢ Invest in a resume template & font pack to insure professionalism. Here is a good one:
