To land the perfect job, you need the perfect resume. In today’s crowded job market, it is more important than ever to stand out among the competition. When you write your resume, it is vital that you get everything right, from the organization of the template to the details of your work experience. To make sure your resume is flawless, here are some tips for writing the best resume possible.
1 - Personal Information
Let them know where to contact you
Your resume should begin with your contact information. It is very important that potential employers, having read your resume, know how to contact you! At the top of your resume, include your name, phone number, email address, and city.
2 - Summary
Introduce yourself
A personal summary, though optional, is a great way to introduce yourself to an employer with your resume. This section is comprised of one or two paragraphs where you can feature your notable achievements and highlight your most valuable skills. Your summary should give employers a brief outline of your experience and capabilities and intrigue them to keep reading.
3 - Skills
What do you do best?
Shorter than a work history section, in a skills section you can efficiently list your core competencies in a way that is direct and easy to read. Showcase the skills and abilities that you bring to the job, focusing on those which distinguish you from the competition. The more useful and unique your skills are, the more you will stand out to an employer.
4 - Work Experience
Showcase your achievements
Display your work experience in reverse-chronological order, beginning with your most recent position at the top of the section. Describe for each job your title, responsibilities, and achievements, with a focus on performance and results rather than duties. Use action words like ‘developed, ‘produced’, and ‘delivered’ when describing your work history to create compelling and impactful descriptions of your experience. Highlighting quantifiable information, like performance metrics and revenue, is a great way to demonstrate your abilities.
5 - Education
What did you learn, and where did you learn it?
Your education section should include the name of any post-secondary schools you attended, the degrees you earned, and any academic distinctions you achieved that you deem worth featuring. If they are particularly relevant, you can also include major areas of study and important projects that you participated in. Like the work experience section, your education should be displayed in reverse-chronological order.

1. What is a resume and what is it for?
If you still don’t quite understand what a resume is, I suggest giving it a definition:
Resume- This brief self-presentation in writing of your professional skills, achievements and personal qualities that you plan to successfully implement at your future place of work in order to receive compensation for them (for example, in the form of money or another type of compensation)
In the past, I myself had to write a resume when applying for a job. After all, without this, no employer will even know about you and your professional skills.
I remember when I first sat down to write my resume, it took me a lot of time to compose it correctly and format it according to all standards. And since I like to understand everything thoroughly, I studied the issue of correct spelling very deeply. To do this, I talked with professional HR specialists and studied large number articles on the topic.
Now I know how to write a resume correctly and will gladly share it with you.
I am sharing with you samples of my resumes, which I wrote for myself personally:
(you can download them completely free)
Thanks to the fact that I could write professional resumes I have never had any difficulty getting a job. Therefore my knowledge is reinforced practical experience and are not dry academic theory.
So what is the secret to writing a good resume? Read about it below.
2. How to write a resume correctly - 10 simple steps
Before we move on to the steps, I want you to remember 3 main rules for successful resume writing:
Rule #1. Write the truth, but not the whole truth
Focus on your strengths and don't mention your weaknesses too much. You will be asked about them at the interview, be prepared for this.
Rule #2. Stick to a clear structure
The resume is written on 1-2 sheets, no more. Therefore, try to briefly and succinctly present all the necessary information, even if there is a lot of it.
Take care of careful formatting of the resume text and its structured presentation. Because no one likes to read gobbledygook.
Rule #3. Be optimistic and cheerful
Positive people attract success. In your case, a new job.
So, let's move on to the structure of writing a resume.
Step 1. Resume Title
Here you must write the word “Resume” itself and indicate for whom it was compiled.
All this is written on one line.
For example: Resume of Ivanov Ivan Ivanovich
Then your potential employer will immediately understand who owns the resume. For example, you previously called a company you are interested in to find out if they still have this vacancy open. You were given a positive response and asked to send your resume.
At the end of the first step, your resume will look like this:
Step 2. Purpose of the resume
It is important to remember that your resume must have a purpose. It is correct to formulate it as follows (phrase):
The purpose of the resume is to apply for an accountant position
Since at this moment you are called that - an applicant, that is, a person looking for a job, potentially applying for it.
At the end of the second step, your resume will look like this:
Step 3. Applicant and his data
In this paragraph you must write the following:
- date of birth;
- address;
- contact phone number;
- e-mail;
- marital status.
At the end of step three, your resume should look like this:
Step 4. Education
If you have several entities, then write them in order.
For example:
Moscow state university, 2005-2010,
Speciality: accountant (bachelor)
Moscow State University, 2007-2013,
Speciality: translator in the field of professional communication (bachelor)
At this stage, your resume should look like this:
Step 5. Work experience
Please note that the “work experience” column is written in the resume starting from your most recent place of work, if it is not the only one, and begins from the period spent in this position.
For example:
Job title: Deputy Chief Accountant;
Job title: accountant
Now we have already written half of the resume, it should look like this:
Step 6. Job Responsibilities
This item in the resume is not always required if the vacancy for which you are applying is quite common, and you held a similar position at your previous place of work.
Sometimes this point can be included in the previous one by writing your own job responsibilities immediately after the post.
Step 7. Achievements at previous jobs
The “Achievements” item is one of the most important in a resume! It is much more important than education and even work experience.
Your potential employer wants to know what exactly they will pay you for wages. Therefore, it is very important to mention when writing a resume all significant achievements at previous jobs. At the same time, please note that it is correct to write in words that are so-called “markers” for personnel service employees reviewing your resume.
For example, the correct way to write:
- increased sales volumes by 30 percent in 6 months;
- developed and introduced new technology into production;
- reduced equipment maintenance costs by 40%.
It is incorrect to write:
- worked to increase sales;
- took part in a project to create a new technology;
- reduced equipment costs.
As you can see, it is also important to write specific numbers, since they very clearly reflect the essence of your achievements.
Now your resume looks something like this:
Step 8: Additional Information
Here you need to describe your strengths, professional knowledge and skills that will directly help you better and more efficiently perform the tasks assigned to you at your new place of work.
Usually the following is written here:
- Proficiency in computers and special programs. This is relevant for office workers and employees whose direct work is related to a PC. For example, for designers, accountants, programmers, office managers.
- Knowledge of foreign languages. If your future work involves reading, translating or communicating in a foreign language and you speak it to a certain extent, be sure to write about it. For example: English spoken.
- Availability of a car and driving skills. If your work involves business travel and you often have to drive a car, for example, while working as a sales representative, then you should indicate the presence of your car, as well as the category of driver’s license and experience.
Thus, in additional information Along with computer and foreign language skills, write: you have a personal car, category B, 5 years of experience.
Step 9. Personal qualities
There is no need to describe too many qualities here, especially if they are not relevant to your future job. You may be a kind and sympathetic person who loves children and respects your friends, but a potential employer will not be interested in reading about your “heartiness” and rich inner world.
For example, if you are applying for the position of an accountant, then it would be good to write here: composure, attentiveness, punctuality, efficiency, mathematical mind, ability to analyze.
If you are applying for a more creative profession, say, a designer or creator, then you should indicate here: a developed creative imagination, a sense of style, an unconventional view of a problem, healthy perfectionism.
It will be very cool if at the end of your resume you mention your full name. and positions of your former managers, and also indicate their contact numbers so that your potential employer or his representative can verify your professionalism by receiving feedback about you from your former immediate managers.
Even if your potential employer does not call your previous managers, the very fact of having contacts for recommendations will significantly increase his trust in you.
At the very end of your resume, you must indicate when you are ready to start work, and here you can also indicate your desired salary level.
The final look of your resume:
Congratulations! Your resume is 100% ready!
Finally, I will provide several sample resumes that can be slightly adjusted and immediately used to send to your potential employer.

Want to get into the world of acting but don't know where to start? In order to get noticed and turn heads in your direction, in addition to talent and desire, you will also need a well-thought-out resume. Here are some tips to help you get the job you want!
Steps
-
Take a photo. This is your passport to the world of directors and talent agencies. This is what they take into account when considering applicants for roles. Whether you're a local hobbyist or lighting up Broadway, your photo needs to be taken professionally.
- Black and white or color? Talk to your local agency and find out what is most in demand in your area.
-
Your resume should contain:
- Your stage name. This may be a pseudonym or real name. It is what you will become known as in the industry, so choose once and stick to it.
- Organizational affiliation, if any. This is important. If you are included in any union, you will not have the opportunity to work as a layman.
- Your contact information. It must be current and accurate if you want to be contacted.
- Your previous works. List the roles you have played in film, television and theatre. If the list is extensive, write the most important ones on this page.
- Mention any professional courses you have completed, including training acting, vocals, improvisation, dialects (accents), and physical skills such as dancing, acrobatics or boxing.
- List all your abilities. Everything you can do and apply in the acting profession should be listed here. For example, you can dance well or throw knives at a target while blindfolded. You may be able to quickly gain or lose weight for a role. Either you manage to sing the alphabet in reverse order, while balancing on a saucer - include that too! Write down everything that makes you unique.
- Your personal information, including age (required if you are a minor), height without shoes to the nearest cm division, weight to the last 2 kg.
- Please include your hair and eye color, even if you include a color photo. The photo may be separated from your resume, or the director may be colorblind. Be that as it may, writing down this data will not keep anyone guessing.
-
Everything must be done professionally.
- Use nice design and clear, professional fonts. Times and Helvetica fonts are always a safe bet. Mistral or Comic Sans - not really.
- Don't write a 5-page resume mentioning everything you've ever done. Any recruiter wants to see important information right away, and if they like what they see, they will call back to find out more.
- Try to keep your resume to one page whenever possible. Don't write more than two.
-
- Do not provide false information about yourself on your resume. Write only the truth, simply and clearly. If you lie, you can earn a bad reputation in the acting world and it will hurt your career for years to come.
- Don't audition for roles that are outside your age range, as it will be difficult to act believably. If you're 43 and auditioning for the role of one of the students in the High School Musical sequel, you're only going to embarrass yourself. Conversely, if you're 21 and auditioning for a boss or teacher role, you probably won't get it. Most people have a good chance of playing 10 years younger or older than their actual age. Let's say you are 30 years old; At this age, you can try to truthfully portray a person who is between 20 and 40 years old.
- Go to auditions as often as you can. When you're trying to get into this business, treat auditions like your day at work. Attending tryouts four or five times a week is a really good idea.
- Please read the leaflet carefully! It is very important to portray everything that is necessary at the audition. When you audition for the role of Chaplin, you will be asked to show your cane; in this case, the words “Huh? What cane? – this is a sure way to lose your chances of performing!
- Make sure you record all acting and vocal training you have received, showing experience.
- Your resume should look as professional as possible.
- Expect that you will be practically unemployed for about 2 years. Either have enough money to cover expenses, or get a job with flexible hours that will allow you to go to castings whenever you need to.
- Be honest on your resume. Make it pleasant and professional. This will make a very good first impression.
- If your resume is too long, highlight only your special talents. Write things that are directly related to your acting career. You can confidently omit your speed typing skills, or the fact that you can burp the national anthem, or the dubious victory in the corn sausage eating contest at the fair. :)
Warnings
- Never pay to listen. If someone asks you to pay to participate in a casting, it is almost always a scam. If they demand money from you, leave.
- Don't throw names around on your resume. Many people make the common mistake of listing celebrity acquaintances, but knowing celebrities is not a special skill. In fact, this may even be to your detriment when working with some directors.
- Avoid being disrespectful to anyone on set. The toes you step on today may belong to someone you have to kiss tomorrow.
- Don't act rude or resentful if you are notified that someone else has been selected for the role you auditioned for. If you're known to be sensitive to rejection, you'll be less likely to be invited in the future.
