A resume is a medium for you to advertise and sell yourself to the prospective employer. It’s easy to make small mistakes that cost you a prospective job. Your resume should be built strategically to direct your prospective employer to your strengths. This can be difficult when you have multiple passions and have tried your hand at multiple career options, or if you’ve grown bored in your job and are looking for a career shift.
Multi-passionate people often end up in entry level jobs when they change careers. After a few of these shifts, employers may begin to view this as evidence of instability. This makes your resume all the more essential – you have to display your passions as strength instead of a weakness. A well written resume writing manual will not only help you to identify and correct the mistakes in your current CV, but will also prepare you to answer the interview questions that will inevitably surface when employers see your resume.
Lots of websites offer basic resume do’s and don’ts, but very few focus on the specific questions needed to create a winning multi-passionate resume or a career changing resume. When creating this type of resume, you need to consider:
- How to Select Your Targets
- How to Highlight Tangential Experience
- How to Identify and Emphasize Broad, Transferrable Skills
- How to Establish Your Creativity
- How to Prove Your Ability to Learn
- How to Demonstrate Your Problem Solving Skills
- How to Customize to Your Future Employer
- How to Show Your Enthusiasm
A good resume writing manual will answer all of these questions and give you the best opportunity to make successful career shift.
