The New Job Game-5

So now that we are done with countless resume variations and format of the resumes. We should next tackle the skills. Before I go there let me reiterate that five or six variations of your resume will be more than enough to land you a job (mind you not a dream job). But now that since even entry level jobs are stating that you should have at least one year of experience(meaning that they don’t want to train you but scoop you from the competitors) most of the resumes should be in format of your experience first and then your degrees. If you don’t have enough experience than emphasize your degree. Another thing I have noticed during all my readings of job hunting is the crucial matter of whether to include your GPA or not. Most of the people say that if it is above 3.00 out of 4.00 mention it otherwise skip it. To me just don’t mention it when some interview asks you then you can say verbally. The employer may or may not hire you on the basis of your GPA alone, but if your experience is relevant and stronger than the GPA will not matter at all. Just stir clear of your GPA numbers.
