Putting Writing Kills in Resume Writing
Putting Writing Kills in Resume WritingResume writing is an art, not a profession, and writing for a putt event or even a putt competition is something entirely different than creating an exhaustive resume to present on an interview or first date. In the former scenario, you are merely doing a job that has been done by hundreds of thousands of other people and hoping that your resume will end up somewhere near the top. In the latter, you are doing a primary research job, and in this context, you want to make sure that your writing is clear, precise, and professional.Putting out a resume in the first place is a very different process from writing one. In resume writing, even if you are skilled at outlining, presenting, and summarizing, you can quickly lose control over the message if you do not organize the message.Putting the game of golf into perspective. Putt is a game that requires you to write very specifically in order to keep a very specific writing style. Many people want to t hink that there is some universal formula for being able to write clearly and concisely about golf. There is not. In fact, it is likely that the more in depth you are about golf, the more difficulty you will find to write about golf.Putt is simply a fine example of how good planning well can help you to 'put' the writing in writing. And you will find yourself out of practice by the time you get to the part where you actually have to write the words 'I would like to hire you.' Putting in the time to plan ahead, however, will pay off.A short but important part of putting the writing in writing is to make sure that you completely understand what the prospect wants. Of course, the prospect might well be a visitor at the next interview round and not you, but remember that the prospectsjob application is also a real person.Don't forget that the nature of your business is going to make the job position harder or easier. That said, you will have to write differently if you have just come on board from another company. Consider how much more important it is to hire someone who has some degree of familiarity with your products and services. In a perfect world, your writing should be equally good for each position.Remember also that the public (and perhaps some of your existing clients) will be scanning your resume for key phrases that may indicate that you do not know what you are doing. You want to make sure that you will look professional no matter who reads your writing. The best way to accomplish this is to write clearly, speak clearly, and use all of your talents to promote yourself.Writing for the golf writing test is a different animal altogether. And the only way to really get it right is to give it a lot of time and effort. You will benefit more if you take the time to prepare and be prepared.
