If you already have a resume, you may be wondering how it can be made better. If you don’t want to write an entirely one, there are a number of things you can do to improve your current resume.

1. Check for accuracy of information, typos, and misspelled words. The first step in improving your resume is to give it a meticulous going over. But be warned, you might find a mistake or typo you didn’t notice before! Also, be sure that all the information is accurate (that includes double-checking if you have the most current contact information

2. Use the proper format. Ask yourself if your resume is in the proper style for your line of work and work history. Most resumes are reverse chronological which simply means that your last job is listed first. If you a highly-trained worker with specific skills such as a carpenter, mechanic, fabricator, or repair person, a functional resume might be best. It allows you to emphasize your skills by listing that information first with a detailed description of your experience and training. The third resume format is a combination resume which incorporates elements of the two above.

3. Update your references. It’s a good idea to contact the people that you list as a reference and make sure their information is up to date and accurate. When you speak with them, remind them that you have listed them as a references so they are prepared if a potential employer should call.

4. Include your job objective. You’d be surprise at how many people forget this! The first step in stating your objective is to be clear on what you are looking for. Here’s an example: “I’m looking for a sales position where I can use my writing and marketing skills to improve sales.” This gets right to the point and tells the potential employer exactly what you are looking for. Or, you might say: “I’m hoping to find an opportunity for growth in project management.” Those who review resumes, recruiters working in human resource example, appreciate a clear job objective as it makes their job easier.
