Resume template tip#1 - Use titles or heading that match the jobs you want

When a job advertisement is published, employers may received tons of application on their inbox. Your resume would need something that can hooks employers attention on very first 5 second glance. A proper heading that highlight your title and job skills that matches with position that looking for by employers would be a great way to do so.

Most people get wrong by put their general information like birthday, gender, citizen, etc on very first level of their resume, trust me, that weren't things that looking for by your employer. Those information are important, yes, but ... it would be important later, when employers believe that you are the correct candidate that should be brought to next level of recruitment process.

See sample of resume above, that was resume posted by my husband about 3 years back on one of popular online job site, instead of show his general information, he show role he is good at and he convenience with, and prior to give his name again he highlight his capability, and you may believe it or not, till now there are still headhunter who read this resume and ask him for interview, amazing isn't? see how would be happen if he only wrote on his resume heading as follow:

Don't you think employers will receive tons of resume who has same heading as above, and he/she will need to go further just to know about his expertise, level of experience, etc ... :)

So ... evaluate yourself, find your strength and in less than 10 words summary them, plus prepare a paragraph of more detail on that strength ;)
