There are so many options for people who intend to work from home. These days, you can do anything from selling health products to creating websites to writing articles. In a service-based industry, specifically, it is important to have a resume on hand to send to potential clients.Resumes are often one page, and should effectively portray your work and personality. Most employers or contractors only look at a resume for a few seconds before they make any objective decisions about whether the person inquiring about a position qualifies.</p>< p class="p1">Yikes! Just a few seconds?</p>< p class="p1">That's right.</p>< p class="p1">So what are the important things you need to focus on in the resume?</p>< p class="p1">Feel free to use this as a checklist if you are not sure.</p>< ul> <li class="p1">Name</li> <li class="p1">Phone Number</li> <li class="p1">Email</li> <li class="p1">Address (or at least city, state, and zip!)</li> <li class="p1">Objective statement</li> <li class="p1">Work experience with skills intertwined</li> <li class="p1">Achievements</li> <li class="p1">Education</li>< /ul> One thing that has always helped me in the job search is including a professional summary. This helps include keywords that the employer may be looking for and can give a better idea of what your expertise is in if you don't have a lot of experience yet. There are some huge advantages in a professional summary. For instance, it may narrow done what defines your work, style and products as a business owner. It usually takes up more space on the resume, too, so if you don't have a lot of relevant work experience, that is the first thing an employer will look at. This format has worked well for me:
Market Penetration and Development:Deep understanding of current marketing trends, market segmentation, and market expansion.
• Brand Leadership:</b> Energetic, innovative and persuasive with great networking skills to establish leading role in the marketplace.
• Product Positioning:</b> Excellent consultative selling skills and product representation.
• Online Marketing -</b> Social Media Management, Online Branding, Digital Marketing, Online Advertising, Lead Generation
• Marketing Strategy _Competitive Analysis, Market Research, Business Development
• Product Marketing_ Innovative Thinking, Marketing Management, Value-Based Positioning
