Resume writing tips for your son!

1.Write a single page resume. As he doesnt have much experience to take him to the second page or the third one!

2. Write the resume convincingly. His job here is to convince the employer that he knows something that the employer might be interested in.

3. Mention why hes interested in working for the employer, and what makes him competant for the job. Give the employer reasons as to why hes the best choice.

4. Is it because of money that you want him to join the job? or cause he wants to make a career. Either way, let him mention it straight forward. Theres nothing like a lil dose of honesty

5.Has he organized any events in college? Was he a very social person, and a team player? Mention that! Employers consider such qualities when selecting candidates.

6.Mention all his contact information, correctly.

7. Mention about his positive traits, and negative ones. Make sure to highlight the positive traits.

8. Prepare a different resume for every potential employer. This gives you the chance to tailor your resumes to each employer, and probably impress them.

9. The first impression is the best impression. Make sure he carries multiple copies of the resume.

Hope that answered it!
