manage the sales and marketing of your book publishing division. As you've said you need
someone with a strong background in trade book sales. This is where I've spent almost all of

schedule for myself and get going.

Main Points of Resume

Written By: Rajindar Reddy

Categorized in: Resume Tips

Personal Information
Name - your full name, typed in title case.
Address - your address, written out in full, without abbreviations. In fact, it's better to avoid
abbreviations anywhere in your resume.
Telephone - your home phone number with area code, also give your mobile number if you
have one.

Job Goal
In one sentence, describe your job goal. This tells the employer exactly what type of work
you're looking for. Try to link your job goal to the job you're applying for.
Related Skills - List the special abilities and skills that relate to the job you're applying for.
They can be from paid or unpaid work, volunteer experience, and even hobbies.
Education
List your education, starting with the most recent diploma or training course and working
backwards. Include the name and city or town of each school you attended (secondary and
beyond), the type of programmes you took, your areas of interest, and the years you
completed. Certificates or diplomas should also be listed, including those for mini courses
like a computer or software course, first-aid, small engine repair, or any other training that
might be useful to the job you want.
Additional Knowledge
Use this section to include such things as the languages you speak, software programmes
you know, and other abilities that relate to the job. If there is a lot of information, break it
into separate sections with specific headings. The point is to get everything into your
resume that shows why you are the right person for the job.
List all the skills you have in a bulleted format.
Interests / Activities
Briefly outline a few of your interests and activities that demonstrate something about you.
Be sure to mention achievements or awards you may have received. If you have volunteer
experience that is relevant to the job, make sure you put it in, transferable skills are
important. Do not mention all the hobbies you have over here. This might do a bit more to
the resume. List only main hobbies or hobbies related to the job applied for.
References
References are not included in your resume, but you should have them ready. Think about
who could be your references and get their permission before you pass the names and
numbers. Type the names, addresses, and phone numbers of up to three references on a
separate piece of paper, which matches your resume. Keep your reference list as up-to date
as possible. If you can, give your reference an idea of the type of job you are applying for,
and whenever possible, let them know when you think an employer will be calling them, so
they can be available and will have some time to think about what to say.
Whom can you ask to be a reference?

Someone from your school (teacher, guidance counsellor, coach)

Someone you've worked for (summer, part- time employer)

Someone you've worked for on a casual basis

Someone you've helped (as a volunteer or as a friend)

Someone whose opinion is respected (elder, minister, community leader)

Difference between CV and Resume

Difference between CV and Resume

You may have heard "curriculum vitae" being used to describe a resume. Although they are
slightly different documents, some people use the terms inter-changeably. You may want to
use a curriculum vitae (c.v.) if you are applying to a position which is academic or researchoriented. Many graduate students use a C.V. if they are applying to advanced programs or
to employers such as those just mentioned.
Often referred to as a "vitae." A vitae is very similar to a resume. It highlights a speaker's
education and key jobs held. A speaker in the academic community usually uses curriculum
vitae. A special type of resume traditionally used within the academic community. Earned
degrees, teaching and research experience, publications, presentations, and related
activities are featured. Unlike a resume, a CV tends to be longer and more informational
than promotional in tone.
The primary difference between a CV and a resume is the length and the purpose. A
resume is a one or two page summary of your skills, experience and education. A goal of
resume writing is to be brief and concise since, at best; the resume reader will spend a
minute or so reviewing your qualifications.
A Curriculum Vitae, commonly referred to as CV, is a longer (two or more pages), more
detailed synopsis. It includes a summary of your educational and academic backgrounds as
well as teaching and research experience, publications, presentations, awards, honors,
affiliations and other details.
A curriculum vitae, meaning "course of one's life, is a document that gives much more detail
than does a resume about your academic and professional accomplishments.
When seeking a faculty, research, or leadership position at an academic or scientific

organization, you need a special resume called curriculum vitae. Candidates who use a CV
have an educational background directly related to the positions they seek, education is
always featured first. Even after twenty years of research, your degrees and the schools
where you earned them will overshadow your experience.
Following are the things to include in a CV
Like a resume, your CV should include your name, contact information, education, skills and
experience. In addition to the basics, a CV includes research and teaching experience,
publications, grants and fellowships, professional associations and licenses, awards and
other information relevant to the position you are applying for. Start by making a list of all
your background information, and then organize it into categories. Make sure you include
dates on all the publications you include.
Name dropping is more common in CVs than in resumes. For example, if you performed
research under a certain professor, you would probably include her name and title. Science
and academia are small worlds, and it is likely that a prospective employer will have heard
of a given specialist in her own field. Similarly, if you went on clinical rotations at a given
hospital, name it; your future employer might have hospital privileges there.

Preparing Your Curriculum Vitae

What is a curriculum vitae?
Academic rsum
Also know as a CV or a vita
The phrase means course of life.
Outside the United States, CV is pretty much synonymous with the American use of the
word rsum.
How is a CV different from a rsum?
Covers many more topics

How to Build Your Resume

Written By: Rajindar Reddy

5-20-2007
Categorized in: Resume Tips

The term "Curriculum vitae" loosely means, "this is my life". Make sure yours reflects your every
success and achievement in its best light by using the following tips:
THE DO'S

Assess your marketability

A popular method used among US placement consultants to determine the "marketability" of a job
seeker is to calculate his PMV or Perceived Market Value. PMV is a function of academic and
professional accomplishments, taking into account the demand for the particular candidate's skills.
The formula devised for calculating PMV is as follows:
PMV = (A-t)+{(B+t) x C},
(where A is the value of your academic record, diminishing in importance over t (time since law
school
graduation); B is the value of your law firm quality and training, increasing in importance over t; and
C is the current demand for your practice specialty.)
Often it is found that it is "C" ie the current market demand for your area of practice, that determines
whether your rsum is "hot property" or not.
In any case, the rsum should be drafted with an awareness of your PMV and a sensitivity to what
is compelling in your background.
Prepare customized rsums according to the job profile
Most of us tend to prepare a single standard draft of our rsum and use the same while applying
for all kinds of vacancies, be it an in house counsel in a corporate house, an associate in an IPR law
firm or a legal content provider in a dotcom company.
However, it is the written rule that when applying for highly competitive positions that draw upon
certain aspects of your background, you should think about what you have done that is relevant to
the particular position. If you are applying for a job with a software company highlight the number of
software licensing agreements you've drafted, the copyright issues you have handled etc. On the
other hand if it is a job with a venture capital company, give more emphasis to your venture capital
deals. This would mean altering your rsum slightly every time you submit he same for a particular
job. This would take only a few minutes, but would make a world of difference.
Highlight your Accomplishments not Responsibilities
Several jobseekers tend to desist from speaking about professional accomplishments for fear that it
makes them sound boastful or obnoxious. But you should remember that if you don't present your
accomplishments, no one else will.
A subtle way to do this is to emphasise your accomplishments instead of talking about your
responsibilities, for instance instead of stating that in your previous job you were merely responsible

for preparing agreements, you can state that you negotiated and drafted software support services
agreements fielding comments from the client initially and thereafter from his customer abroad.
Similarly, instead of stating that you were "responsible for criminal litigation", you may say you have
"cross-examined key prosecution witnesses in a murder trial that resulted in a directed verdict of
acquittal" for your client. When talking about your experience in a particular firm/organisation provide
a brief description of your responsibilities and thereafter use bullet points to describe your
accomplishments in greater detail.
Demonstrate your capabilities instead of just mentioning them
Some rsums simply enumerate the "abilities" and talk about the great "attitude and approach" of
the jobseeker, without really supporting these claims. These empty words are entirely superfluous
and tend to undermine the candidates credibility. For instance, most rsums contain a paragraph at
the beginning which purports to provide an introduction to the candidate. It usually sounds
something like: "A goal-oriented legal professional who brings entrepreneurial zeal and in depth
analysis to legal problems and comes up with business solutions. A team player who thrives on
challenge and problem solving. " These types of self-proclaimed personal assessments invariably
generate scepticism on the part of the reader and should definitely be avoided. The better approach
is to show the reader your unique value by reciting accomplishments that allowinferences consistent
with your analysis of PMV.
Determine rsum structure according to your career history
Most people structure their rsums according to chronology. If this method is adopted, it should be
remembered that the rsum should be written in reverse chronological order.
But what if you did not follow the traditional path because law was your second career? or you were
working for the government before you entered practice? In these circumstances you may need to
create categories to help the reader see the connection between seemingly disparate elements. To
take a hypothetical situation, you may have after completing law school worked as a government
employee in the Patents Department. After that you joined your present intellectual property firm
after three years of general practice. If you follow the chronological order in structuring your rsum,
the regular shift in focus in the nature of your work may seem confusing to your prospective
employer. You can resolve this problem by not following a strict chronological order but by
highlighting your specific experience under different categories or headings. Forinstance, you can
lead with a category called "Intellectual Property ExperienceLegal and Government" under which
you include your current law firm and your work at the Patents Office. Follow that category with
"General Legal Experience" under which you include your general practice firm. Thus by using
creatively defined categories you can effectively create themes in your rsum.
Experts feel a person should not structure his rsum according to liner chronology if he has
changed a number of jobs. This would give the visual impact that you are a perpetual job hopper
and would not be willing to settle down happily in one job. Therefore, as explained above, you would

need to reformat your rsum by creating theme categories that tie jobs together.
Create a rsum that is to the point
Your rsum should be succinct and focussed and excess verbiage and complicated explanations
should be avoided. Every sentence in the rsum should be there for a reason and therefore, before
adding a sentence ask yourself the purpose keeping the job profile in mind. Use action verbs to
preface accomplishments and always write in the third-person.
Avoid long sentences and stick to bullet points if possible. Prospective employers may not bother to
read a rsum if the text looks too dense or the choice of language requires effort.

THE DON'TS
Don't wasting critical space under your name with prominent display of address and phone number.
If an employer wants to find you, he can just as easily locate your address and phone (or email) at
the end of the rsum. The top the first page is the where the reader's eye naturally goes first and
that space should be used for providing information more relevant to whatdistinguishes you as a
professional

Don't use a small font to compress your rsum into 2 or 3 pages. The better approach is to edit the
document so that you don't need to miniaturize the text. Use at least 11 point, preferably 12 point
type font.

Don't use fancy fonts like scripted fonts. It is better to use fonts that create a clean professional
appearance like Times New Roman or Book Antiqua.

Don't use bold typeface for standardized categories. Usually rsums highlights categories such as
"Education", "Professional Experience", and "Bar Admission" in bold while the names of universities,
law school, firms and corporations appear in standard type. On the other hand the bold typeface
should be used for name, school, company and position and anything else that is distinguishing
about you. This is because bold text initially captures the reader's attention and the reader will more
likely retain a visual imprint of what appears bolded on the page. There is no point wasting the
precious attention of the reader on standardized elements that are common to you and everyone
else.

Don't put a photograph on your rsum as this can look tacky, and may make people take you less
seriously as a professional.

Don't neglect to take into account the method by which the rsum is going to be transmitted to the
reader and the visual impact of such transmission on the rsum. If you are sending the rsum by
email you should consider whether the document formatted in columns that will look like a jumbled
mess unless the receiver uses the same word processing program and version. Another thing
about email is that the proliferation of viruses (and fears about viruses) have generated reluctance to
open attachments received by third-parties. Therefore, in addition to attaching your rsum, you
may want to cut and paste it into the email, thereby giving the receiver the option of reviewing the
email or the attachment or both. If you are faxing your rsum, the fancy shaded text you have used
may look illegible. Similarly, if you rsum is printed on certain types of paper, the fax will look
blurred. One should remember that all of the effort that went into creating the perfect document
is wasted if the document doesn't arrive intact and looking professional

Most Frequent Resume Mistakes

Written By: Rajindar Reddy

7-29-2006
Categorized in: Resume Tips

Including typos and other spelling or grammatical errors: Before you send out
your resume, make sure you have proofread it several times. Many hiring managers will
automatically throw away a resume that has typos or other errors.
Lengthy resume: Surveyed managers reported that resumes only get a 15 second
review. "More is not better," noted Martha, an HR Director. "Long careers often travel
into numerous pages and important accomplishments get lost. We won't read anything
beyond a page especially with so many people applying."
No Dates Listed: From a recruiter's perspective, candidates eliminate dates on their
resumes for only one reason: to hide information, such as a history of job-hopping or a
long period of unemployment. As an alternative, Mr. Hughes suggests focusing only on
the last 10 to 15 years of your professional experience.
Sending a resume without a cover letter: One of the worst things you can do is
send a great resume without an official introduction. Resumes and cover letters should
be inseparable. Make sure you don't give up your chance to really sell yourself with a
cover letter.
Poorly organized: Information on a resume should be listed in order of importance
to the reader. Don't ask employers to wade through your hobbies first. Dates of
employment are not as important as job titles. Education should be emphasized if you
are freshly out of school and have little work experience; otherwise, put it at the end. If
your resume is difficult to read or key information is buried, it's more likely to be cast
aside.
Lying: Employers reported they are on the lookout for the significant increase in lies
or serious exaggerated claims made in people's resumes. Common deceptions include
accomplishments, salary, or size of the team managed. Helen, an HR Executive Recruiter
inside a prominent company, wrote on her survey form: "Never, ever, lie. One person I
hired lied about having a college degree when she did not have one. We fired her when
the lie was uncovered."
Using really small fonts: Really small fonts are hard to read and don't photocopy
as well. (That applies to your address block as well.) What's too small? Generally don't
go smaller than a 10 point
Really wide margins with content squeezed in the middle: Your margins should
be at least one half inch. You really don't need more than one inch.

Too personal: If your Web site includes photos of your cat or your personal blog
about what you did over the weekend, don't steer prospective employers there by
including it on your resume. Keep your personal and your professional life separate in
order to be taken seriously.
Writing in the first person: Your resume is not a personal correspondence, and
should not include words such as "I," "my," and "me." Save the first person pronouns for
your cover letter.
Resumes Work Best Unfolded: Use 9x12 envelope if you need to mail it out. The
best use of the resume is passed hand-to-hand.

Periods at the end of all full sentences.

Be consistent in your use of punctuation.
Always put periods and commas within quotation marks.

Grammatical Mistakes:
1.
2.
3.
4.

Grammar hang-ups to watch for:

Do not switch tenses within your resume.
The duties you currently perform should be in present tense (i.e., write reports)
Duties you may have performed at past jobs should be in past tense (i.e.,
wrote reports).
5.
Capitalize all proper nouns.
When expressing numbers, write out all numbers between one and nine (i.e., one, five,
seven), but use numerals for all numbers 10 and above (i.e., 10, 25, 108).
If you begin a sentence with a numeral, spell out that numeral (e.g. Eleven service awards
won while employed.). Make sure your date formats are consistent (i.e.11/22/01 or Nov. 22,
2001, or 11.22.01. Choose one and stick with it.).

Choose Your Words Carefully:

Phrase yourself well:
Be on the lookout for the following easily confused words:
1.
2.
3.
4.
5.
6.

accept (to receive), except (to exclude)

all right (correct), alright (this is not a word)
affect (to bring about change), effect (result)
personal (private), personnel (staff members)
role (a character assigned or a function), roll (to revolve).
Use action words (i.e., wrote reports, increased revenues, directed staff).

References:
In most instances it is not necessary to include names and address of references on the
resume. If you include a reference, make it sure that the referenced person knows very well
about you. It is also advisable to add the persons as references, whom the employer can
contact easily. If possible add the phone number and e-mail ID of the reference. Never add
a person as a reference, about whom you know nothing
STICK TO THE POINT
Employers have a busy schedule, so don't expect them to read through a long resume.
Ideally, resumes should be of one page, or of two pages only if absolutely necessary, to
describe relevant work experience.
WORDS COUNT
Use of language is extremely important; you need to sell yourself to an employer quickly
and efficiently.
Address your potential employer's needs with a clearly written, compelling resume.
Avoid large paragraphs (five or six lines). If you provide small, digestible pieces of
information, your resume will be read.
Use action verbs.
Verbs such as "developed", "managed", and "designed" emphasise your accomplishments.
Don't use declarative sentences like "I developed the ..." or "I assisted in ...", leave out the
"I". Avoid passive constructions, such as "was responsible for managing". Just say,
"managed": that sounds stronger and more active.
MAKE THE MOST OF YOUR EXPERIENCE

Employers need to know what you have accomplished to have an idea of what you can do
for them.
Don't be vague. Telling someone that you "improved the company's efficiency" doesn't say
much. But if you say that you "cut overhead costs by 20 per cent and saved the company
Rs 20 lakh during the last fiscal year", you are more specific.
HONESTY IS A GOOD POLICY
Employers will feel more comfortable hiring you if they can verify your accomplishments.
There is a difference between making the most of your experience and exaggerating or
falsifying it. A falsified resume can cost you the job later.
DOUBLE-CHECK FOR MISTAKES
Check your resume for correct grammar and spelling - evidence of good communication
skills and attention to detail. Nothing can ruin your chances of getting a job faster than
submitting a resume filled with preventable mistakes. Make your resume easy on the eye.
Use normal margins (1" on the top and bottom, 1.25" on the sides) and don't cram your
text on the page. Allow for some space between the different sections.
Avoid unusual or exotic fonts. Preferred fonts: Arial and Times Roman
