What are the Compulsory Sections in Resume Writing?

Your resume should always contain the following items, and in order;

Title of the Resume

This is the title of the position you are looking for as well as the type of contract.

Professional Experience

The position held, dates of entry and exit, or ‘in progress’ if you are still in this position, duration in which you were in office, the company, the city and, if it was abroad. Do not forget to describe in three points the duties you performed, the conditions under which you made them, the results obtained, if you were in charge of launching a product, indicate the market share obtained.

The title of the training by specifying the specialties of your diploma, name of the school, dates during which you were there and a quick description of the courses you followed. Indicate only the courses that are related to the position you are targeting. For example, in business school, if you have taken courses in human resources or marketing, but you are looking for finance, go with the finance, accounting or management courses. You can also mention some of your academic results if they are honorable.

Other Information

In this section, indicate all other useful information that will make you stand out from the other candidates such as your involvement in an association, significant trips, if possible for long periods, from which you will have drawn something, sports or artistic activities.

Should you add photo?

You hear the pros and cons of this question. For my part, I was advised not to put a photo on a resume for a spontaneous application or for a bid in response to an offer. Why? Because this could influence the recruiter in reading your resume. Certainly, he or she can find you nice, but also the opposite even if you think that this picture judiciously chosen highlights you. On the other hand, put a picture on the resume that you uploaded at a forum where you met the recruiter, or on the resume that you will bring in a job interview.
