Sample Resume



If you are designing your resume for the first time, you may find it little difficult for you. At this time, you may feel little bit frightened and of course utterly confused too. Confusion mainly arises from the fact that people around you have more fallacy than accurate information about constructing an effective resume. You will definitely find this posting helpful since we are going to discuss about the common myths of resume. Here we go.

Pictures DON’T Required
This is definitely a myth. Since US market does not demand for a picture in every job, but that does not mean somebody is forbidding you from inserting a photograph in your resume. Of course, the look and feel of the photograph you have chosen exclusively for the purpose of resume should contain a professional elegance and appearance. US market never demands photograph since it predominantly stresses over indiscrimination policy. However, aviation field is certainly an exception.

DON’T Put Website’s Address
Certainly the addition of website address is a great option for a resume. In fact, it enhances the overall appearance of a resume. Many people still discourages about adding the website addresses without any proper reason behind. You can definitely add your website address to your resume, if it does not contain any explicit material, abusive content, political controversies, etc. Please be sure that there are certain jobs that highly discourage about any controversial paradigm.

DON’T Put Hobbies and Interests
On the contrary, I must say that you should put your hobbies and interests, if you are preparing your resume for the first job. When there is nothing in your resume to show the prospective employers about you professional caliber, all you can show him your interests and hobbies in the form of talents. In fact, hobbies and interests are very important for the first time resume makers. These are the points by analyzing which prospective employers become able to know about your talent in relation to particular job suitability. So, never omit them.

Making Flat Layout DOESN’T Work
This is absolutely a misconception. On the contrary, making layout simple will only work. You must use either white or off-white papers for crafting your resume. You must not use any ornamental fonts to write anything on resume paper. Fonts like Times New Roman, Arial, Verdana, Garamond, Georgia and Trebuchet MS are mostly preferable for writing in a resume. You even must not use uneven size of the fonts to write on your resume. Preferably a font size of 10 for Arial, Verdana and Trebuchet MS and a font size of 12 for Times New Roman are appropriate for writing the resume.

However, if you are applying for any creative post, say fashion designing or so, you may apply some unconventional pattern in your resume. It should never be too bright, or else, you will get noticed but in an adverse manner. In fact, it is better to craft the creative resume in a paper which has a white background with a path of colors in the foreground. However, you must put the font color in black irrespective of the choice of resume.
