How to Write a Resume?
Written by WishBoNe on April 15, 2008 – 2:08 pmThe net is a popular choice to search for jobs as most job seekers would look for them in the newspapers and online. Hot job sites include Jobs Central, Jobs DB, Recruit, St 701, Job Street and individual agencies such as Robert Walters, Recruit Express, Kelly Services and Manpower.
Writing a resume is an art. You search for samples for functional and chronological types. You can even post your resume online for free. How would tailor your resume or CV for the job that you wish to apply for? By analysing the job description. There are some real life job description that don’t really give you an idea of what they want for the position.
My problem with my resume writing? I have read and re-read the job description of the lack thereof since they seem to want someone who is able to be quick and know web publishing techniques in addition to being a team player from what I understand. However, the description doesn’t seem to be about the job but about the personality of the person they want to hire.
I don’t know what the job entails so how am I suppose to write my resume despite my keen interest in it?

It’s well-known by many HR personnel that:
1. A person is hired for his skills and qualifications
2. A person is de-hired (terminated, sacked, etc etc) for his personality and character traits
The only time a person is “let go” for a skill-related issue is when “retrenchment” comes, and his skills is no longer needed. I’m not surprised now the ads focus more on the person than the skills

Looks like my functional and chronological resume needs some tweaking.
