The most common pattern of building up a resume is Revere Chronological Order.

So, What is the Revere Chronological Order?

This means you have to organize your experiences from most recent to least recent.

Another and less popular pattern is the combination resume. It’s a mixture of revere chronological and skill-based resume.

You can choose any one of them to build up your resume. But always keep in mind to include

1. Work Experience
2. Non-work experiences, community involvement
3. Your skills
4. Education qualification and certificates

Make your resume precise

Try to gather all the information on one page. Mention all your qualifications, work experience in such a way that it grabs the attention of the employer or the authority.

Using Bold font, usage of Bullets, and writing down all your experiences, qualification in pointwise can really help you.

Your Basic Information should be precise and flawless

You can include your contact details on the top of your resume which could be helpful for the recruiter to get in touch with you.

What you should add:

1. Your full name (As per all of your documents)
2. Email id with your LinkedIn profile or your personal website
3. Your contact number

Always emphasize your work experiences over your educational qualification

If you choose the Reverse Chronological pattern of Resume building, generally the work experience section will be on the top side of your resume and it should catch the attention of authority.

In this work experience section you can mention about your previous job, how long did you work before, etc. Try to add two or four bullet points in this section.

Then, next to your work experiences, you should add a section of Educational qualification.

Try to mention your school, college, university, and the year of passing. You can also include your achievements, research work, etc. in this section. Like other sections, this section should also be precise and usage of Bullet points should be appropriate.

The main aim to build up your resume is to make it Attractive and Attention-grabbing as much as possible.

After including all your information, you should take your time and check if there is any grammatical error, any error in the information, etc. Then, you should do some cutting if the resume is quite long.

After editing if you think your resume is worth sending, then your resume is ready.

You should enlist your linguistic skills in the experience section.

Always include a cover letter. It is a document, that you submit with your resume that introduces you to the employer. You can show your enthusiasm for the post in this letter. If there is a chance to submit one cover letter, you should definitely go for it.
