TOP RESUME MISTAKES

Curriculum vitae (CV) or resume is one of the most vital career tools; this is the reason why in-dept knowledge about it is, as well as close attention to it is indispensable in today’s job competitive world. However, most job hunters, especially fresh graduates do not pay close attention to it at all; most of them just copy and past the resume, by just making some changes to the personal data, qualification and other parts (education, experience, hobbies, etc) of the CV or resume: This is a big mistake!!!

Your prospective employer “does not want to hire a list”, they single-mindedly want to hire a person who is positively active, productive, industrious and skillful. Positive activeness, productivity, industry and skillfulness are the criteria for most of the jobs in any sector. So your CV or resume shall unveil these criteria. I do not reveal how to write such the good CV or resume, but think about how to write it in such the form that demonstrates the four requirements.

Employer does not want to see CV or resume in the same form, so make your CV or resume stand out amongst hundred, by how? Not a list, but a humanly active CV or resume.

Writing and Self-examination

Good writing requires self-examination. Why is one writing? What part of the writer will be shared with readers? Will it be only information or will it include the essence of the writer? This, then determines what will be written: poetry, essays, articles, short stories, novels, or any other genre of writing.

A writer’s work must share part of his or her being, or it is merely reporting. And when the soul or spirit of the writer is included, it requires a depth of self-examination; it requires searching the psyche for what is important and even relevant to the writer and thus, to the reader. This is egoism, not egotism; the first is self-assurance, the second is vainglory.

Athough writing for financial gain is important, it should never be the sole reason for writing, as that will not bring out the best in the writer. Passion of expression, a need to communicate, a desire to share a part of the person—ideas, feelings, passions—and love are the bases for exemplary and ageless writing.

Writing must fulfill a heartfelt need for self-expression, ego fulfillment, or a therapeutic necessity, and last, but not least, financial reward and fame.

If writing does not foster this self-examination, it is nothing more than a skill to use words, to use language, and to use writing to manipulate and not to satisfy the reader.

Another Sense of Being a "Writer"

A dictionary would explain; writer: person who writes something. To me, this explanation makes no sense and if this meaning were universally accepted, everyone in this world would be all writers.

Having worked as a legal and political assistant to a Member of Parliament, expert author for ezine, freelance writer for Search newspaper, volunteer local newspapers’ columnist, translator for Cambodia’s most celebrated translation juristic person and migration form filler, and media liaison, writer does have more senses: a sense that would provoke other inspirations to those curious to make publications and to be a writer.

Writer, in my personal opinion, is one who is always curious to unveil secrets to the world. The word “secrets” in this context, does not mean intelligence like that of CIA or Scotland yard, but it just mean any information; childish, simple, serious, educational, religious, dangerous, truthful, that the writer thinks a number of people do not know. Moreover, revealing the secret does not totally mean to thoroughly cover detail of the information that the writer wants to share, but it may be writer’s tactics to make the reader more informational curious; urging to know more.

Writer must have no secret even in himself. To be a true writer, he or she has to writer anything come across the sight. So does it just mean writing anything? No, any writing serve one or more purposes. Wring about artifact would mean to footprint the historical fact, biographical writing would intend to inspire perspiration, political writing would serve diplomatic purposes and legal writing would mean to ascertain social justice. Shockingly, in our control age, some writing would inspire suicide bombings; a purpose that eliminate the originality.

The final meaning of being a writer is “not for individual purpose.” Writer’s opinion tends to reach a huge number of readers, so the purpose is to make that huge number of people feel mentally or materialistically beneficial as reading a writer’s writing. Of course, since human society is too vast, it is really hard for writer to be called “a true writer”, but it is the writer’s obligation to break this human wall; Ronald Regand did break concrete Berlin wall, we, the writer, is now time to break abstract global wall.

What Makes a Good Writer?

So you want to be a writer? How can you be a good writer? It would be difficult to define a good writer with just one definition.

Writing is an art as well as a science. Writing is an art since it has various styles to it and it is a science as you would use different techniques to write it.

Good writing however has much more to it than just the common techniques used. [It depends on who your target audience is and whether you know your audience well]

The parameters for a good writer depend on the audience who is going to read it.

For instance, the differences between the style content writers use and the style full-time is that the content-writers mostly use first and second person; whereas a writer for a newspaper would use an objective tone (third-person reporting). The language used is also different for different media of communication.

The general yardsticks to determine whether one is a good writer are to check whether his/her article has a good flow, eye-catching content and the language. The sentence structure, grammar, ideas and the form used are some of the other factors that play an important role in determining whether one is a good writer.

However, there is no one way to find out who a good writer is.
