Proficiency speaks.

2. + skills + accomplishments + achievements

4. Work History

Stating work history is the most important area as it describes career span, jobs held, execution of works and how you demonstrated your working skills.  Either writing of long paragraphs or making it a long list must be avoided. Instead, providing a list of bullet statements that have actually helped your employer will be beneficial. Tasks that are irrelevant must be avoided.

Every Resume has certain validity and finding a suitable job that stays perfect with your Resume is essential. For example, if your profile indicates strong translator skills in a one or more specific languages, you can apply for translator or editor jobs. Staying relevant with your Resume is essential.


6. Professional associations & memberships

Finance, sales, marketing or IT, your professional associations are quite helpful. They convey that you are consistent in getting latest updates of the market trends and changes.

7. Awards and recognition

Best employee or best team lead recognition, they matter most as it identifies with your true and genuine quality of your working methods. Stating these in your Resume add value.
