You've probably met cool website landing pages on the Internet. Your resume should be no worse.
A good resume is interesting to read, I want to read to the end. Each phrase in the resume strengthens the desire to buy it. It has a very simple and intuitive navigation (sections). In addition, the resume must comply with generally accepted standards. Therefore, if you are not a designer and not a representative of the creative profession, no background pictures in the resume.
Use only business spoken language
I always pay very much attention to the language of the resume.
A resume should consist of simple words and phrases, there should be no formalism (the very words copied from your job description), your phrases should be written by you personally, and not copied from the Internet. All sentences should be short enough, without complex and complex structures.
In this sense, I really like Norah Gal’s book, The Word Alive and Dead.
Here are a few quotes that apply to your resume:
“In the vast, overwhelming majority of cases, it is better to replace an official or book word with a colloquial one, a long one with a short one, complex one with a simple one, erased, faceless one with a concrete, figurative one ...
... So what is he, the clerk? He has very precise signs that are common to both translated and Russian literature.
This is a repression of a verb, that is, a movement, an action, a participle, a participle, a noun (especially a verb!), And therefore stagnation, immobility. And of all verb forms, addiction to the infinitive.
This is a conglomeration of nouns in indirect cases, most often long chains of nouns in the same case - genitive, so that it is no longer possible to understand what this refers to and what it is about.
This is an abundance of foreign words where they can be completely replaced by Russian words.
This is the crowding out of active revolutions with passive, almost always heavier, bulky ones.
This is a heavy, confused system of phrases, incomprehensibility. Countless subordinate clauses, doubly heavy and unnatural in colloquial speech.
This is dullness, monotony, wear, stamp. Poor, meager dictionary: both the author and the heroes speak the same dry, official language. Always, for no reason and need, they prefer a long word - short, official or book - colloquial, complex - simple, stamp - a lively image.
