Example of Mini Resume with Summary, Professional Experience, Education and Skills.
|
|
A mini-resume is a brief summary of your work experience, education, credentials and accomplishments. As a result of being so brief, it can be provided upon request to potential employers instead of a standard length resume. It is possible to use this brief resume as an excellent method for getting the word out about you at networking events, employment fairs, or to colleagues and friends who may be in a position for making connections for you. There are two important reasons a mini-resume would help: a mini-resume can speak a great deal for you, possibly acting as an ice breaker; it is also a convenient tool that can be used for friends and acquaintances to quickly pass along your contact information to potential employers.
A Condensed Imitation
A mini-resume is a very condensed imitation of your traditional resume. Many are printed like a business card or a brief printout highlighting your best qualifications. The pertinent information it should contain is your contact information that is prominently displayed usually in larger type face so it can be easily located. Always include an email address and, if you have one, the URL if an online full resume or professional profile. This makes it quite simple for any hiring manager to simply click a mouse to conveniently view all your particulars. Using a mini-resume while having a full online version for viewing, allows the additional opportunity to make a rather impactful first impression.
Keep it Targeted
Make sure to include your sought after job title by locating it just under the contact information; alternatively provide this type of information at the tip of the back side when printing a card mini-resume. When it comes to formatting the mini resume, you will need to present a snippet of your most compelling career, experience, skills and achievements. Try to avoid using long worded descriptions, however if there is space left over, feel free to add any additional information; as long as it is not too cluttered. It΄s best to actually consider using bullets to list your chosen data. Below are a couple mini resume samples for some visual guidance.
