Sample Resumes From HR Pros

Finance Resume



Today we cover the top mistakes made on Finance resumes.  These tips have been compiled based on the samples of resumes hiring managers have seen.

Check Spelling

You can probably guess what it is.  Do not ever send out a Finance resume with typos or grammatical errors.  It is the fastest way for your Finance resume to go in the “Do Not Call” pile.  That’s not where you want to be.  Get somebody, not computer software, get a real person whose English is strong to read your Finance resume and make sure you don’t have any grammatical or spelling errors.

Why don’t hiring managers and recruiters want to hire somebody or even talk to them with errors on their Finance resume?  It’s a sign to them that you’ve got a lack of attention to detail.  They want to know when they hire you that you are going to pay attention to the detail, and if you don’t do it during your job hunt, that’s a pretty good indication to them that you won’t do it on the job.  No typos and no spelling or grammatical errors.

Truthful Watch Corporate Speak

Your CV needs to be truthful and accurate.  For example, declare breaks in service.  If a break was due to redundancy, state this clearly.  There is nothing wrong with giving yourself credit where credit is due but never exaggerate.

Format For Finance

Inconsistent use of bolding, italics and Word art.  If you use one kind of bullet point, use it the whole way through.  If you use italics for a title, always use it for your title.  Formatically, don’t be inconsistent with the use of bulleting, italics and things of that nature.

Describe Your Success

Just saying what you did, not how well you did it.  Very often, people will just say what they did but they won’t go into why they were good at it or why they were successful.  The people who get called for an interview are those that say how good they were, not just what they did.
