Resume Writing!

Alright Ladies and Gentlemen,

I am going to touch upon a topic and make it easy for everyone involved – Working men and women. That is almost 60% of the world’s population. One time or the other in our working life, we ought to type out a resume.

I have known a lot of people who have worked for one single company in their entire life just on the fear for typing out a resume. Ironically, some of the aforementioned people have worked in the companies, who make money teaching the world ‘How to write successful Resumes’.

My Mantra on Resume Writing has 3 simple rules:-

Rule No 1 – Do not pay someone to write your resume!

Rule No 2 – Do not spend more than 1 hour to write your resume!

Rule No 3 – Do not make the resume exceed one page of A4 size paper!

Want an example? Please check this out:
