Which resume is right for me?!
I often ask myself that question and I can’t seem to find the right answer. First time I wrote my resume on my own and cover letter as well. I wrote in it that I don’t have experience but I am willing to learn and go the extra mile. I practically poured my heart out on the cover letter and then I was crushed to find out that that is not the right way to write a resume or a cover letter. So, I am asking, what is the right way? Wouldn’t the right way be what works for you or simply what describes you and distinguishes you as a candidate among others? I would think so, but then again, I’d be wrong. I’m still struggling to write my own resume and truthfully to tell you, I have about 4-5 different resumes. I don’t know why I just can’t find the flare of the right one. Everybody seems to be writing different ones or mostly the chronological ones. Also, what if all that you want to put on a resume is more than a page? Does that mean you have to either squish everything together or just don’t put half of it in? It’s frustrating to me. Also, do you put all the jobs you’ve worked at so that you can show the interviewer that you have variety of jobs even if they are not in the field that you’re looking to be in? As much as I think about it, it makes me more and more frustrated to know which resume is right for me.
