or1992-94 Maternity leave and family management - orTravel and study - or Full-time student - orParenting plus community service9.What if you have several different job objectives you're working on at the same time?Or you haven't narrowed it down yet to just one job target?Then write a different resume for each different job target.A targeted resume is MUCH,much stronger than a generic resume.10.What if you have a fragmented,scrambled-up work history,with lots of short-term jobs?To minimize the job-hopper image,combine several similar jobs into one "chunk," for example:1993-1995 Secretary/Receptionist;Jones Bakery,Micro Corp.,Carter Jewelers - or1993-95 Waiter/Busboy;McDougal's Restaurant,Burger King,Traders Coffee Shop.Also you can just drop some of the less important,briefest jobs.But don't drop a job,even when it lasted a short time,if that was where you acquired important skills or experience.11.What's the best way to impress an employer?Fill your resume with "PAR" statements.PAR stands for Problem-Action-Results;in other words,first you state the problem that existed in your workplace,then you describe what you did about it,and finally you point out the beneficial results.Here's an example: "Transformed a disorganized,inefficient warehouse into a smooth-running operation by totally redesigning the layout;this saved the company thousands of dollars in recovered stock."Another example: "Improved an engineering company's obsolete filing system by developing a simple but sophisticated functional-coding system.This saved time and money by recovering valuable,previously lost,project records."12.What if your job title doesn't reflect your actual level of responsibility?When you list it on the resume,either replace it with a more appropriate job title (say "Office Manager" instead of "Administrative Assistant" if that's more realistic) OR use their job title AND your fairer one together,i.e."Administrative Assistant (Office Manager)"13.How can you avoid age discrimination?If you're over 40 or 50 or 60,remember that you don't have to present your entire work history!You can simply label THAT part of your resume "Recent Work History" or "Relevant Work History" and then describe only the last 10 or 15 years of your experience.Below your 10-15 year work history,you could add a paragraph headed "Prior relevant experience" and simply refer to any additional important (but ancient) jobs without mentioning dates.14.What if you never had any "real" paid jobs - just self-employment or odd jobs?Give yourself credit,and create an accurate,fair job-title for yourself.For example:A&S Hauling & Cleaning (Self-employed) - orHousehold Repairman,Self-employed - orChild-Care,Self-employedBe sure to add "Customer references available on request" and then be prepared to provide some very good references of people you worked for.15.How far back should you go in your Work History?Far enough;and not too far!About 10 or 15 years is usually enough - unless your "juiciest" work experience is from farther back.16.How can a student list summer jobs?Students can make their resume look neater by listing seasonal jobs very simply,such as "Spring 1996" or "Summer 1996" rather than 6/96 to 9/96.(The word "Spring" can be in very tiny letters,say 8-point in size.)17.What if you don't quite have your degree or credentials yet?You can say something like:假如觉得本文对您有帮助，建议您保藏本网站哦
