Certifications:

Any professional certifications and training should be mentioned without any second thought.

These certifications clearly ensure that your enviable credentials live up to the employers’ expectations. Awards: “Best employee award for the year xxxx-xxxx”, “Performer of the year at XYZ Company”, “Beyond expectations-High octane performer” etc. help you make tremendous strides and outclass your competitors. These awards bespeak your caliber and refined forward-thinking capability. So what do you think is the consequence of mentioning such achievements? You shall be the man of the moment! Hobbies: Mention your hobbies. There isn’t any necessity to dive into the details. If you have interest in classical singing, mention it. If you are an avid reader, mention the same. Apart from mundane things, you may mention your achievements and awards in singing, dancing etc. that make you a true blue. Chronology: This is the most important ‘keep in mind’ virtue. Without this, your showmanship may be rendered baseless. Ensure that your resume doesn’t resemble a laundry list. Mention your work life events in a chronological order.

Recent honors, medals and awards may be mentioned along with the prior work experience. Nobody can ever gainsay the fact drafting a marketable resume will take a lot of time and effort. However, a quality resume will open the doors of fortune. Woe-be-tide! A resume can never get any candidate hired. The purpose of a resume is to fetch you a call from the interviewer.
