How does one write a resume? Are there guidelines? - How to write a resume – Writing a Resume Guide

Question by CogitoErgoCogitoSum: How does one write a resume? Are there guidelines?
What if all you could write would take up two pages? Should you simplify? By how much? In what ways?

What if nearly none of the information pertains to the job youre applying for? Do you only put relevant information on a resume?

Best answer:

Answer by Rick
Start with the skills you have that the employer wants most. Look for the most prominent skills and qualifications in the job posting. After that, try to match up the “soft skills” you have. (Do you communicate well? Solve problems? Are you well organized?)

Your aim is to customize the resume so that you put as much relevant information that matches the job description and the employer’s needs.

Two pages? Only if you have more than five years of relevant experience. Otherwise. one page should suffice.

Hope this helps!
