Relevant Experience and required Qualifications

Ok, so you found a job in the newspaper and you're not sure if you are qualified enough. Stop, don't panic! You can 'beef up' your resume with proper keywords and using your professional experience to your advantage without making anything up. For instance, let's say, you wish to work as a web developer while your last few positions were associated with customer service. How do you make customer service relevant to web development? Well, if you were employed in 21st century, chances are, you must have used a PC or Mac that had internet access. You probably got acquainted with SalesForce or other database, software, tools to enter sales into the computer. Make sure to highlight your computer skills as well as web applications that you are familiar with. Second, research the desired qualifications for the position. Always ask yourself, what does it take to be a successful candidate for this position? Next, choose a proper resume format. Creative jobs would probably require creative resumes while standard formats could apply for office positions. In any case, don't limit yourself and it's OK to stretch the truth a little on your resume, but keep it clean. Ask someone else to proofread your resume when you are finished.
