My resume was saved on my email account and now I can not find it. By uploading your resume, you can be one of those people who gets found by a recruiter. Also, uploading your resume will help make your application process easier when you start applying to jobs on Monster. By having your resume already in our system, applying can be as easy as hitting the “Apply” button.

If your resume contains the basic information—work experience, education, and skills—you’re off to a good start. But you can take your resume to the next level by adding additional information that supports and reinforces your qualifications.

“Your resume should definitely show that you have the required skills, education, and experience to perform the job successfully,” says Sherri Thomas, author of and executive director of Career Coaching 360, a career-coaching firm in Chandler, Arizona. “But you can build a stronger by including additional information that shows something special about you that your competitors do not offer.” When writing a resume, it’s a judgment call regarding what additional information should be included.

“You’re not going to build a powerful personal brand by stuffing every skill, talent, and strength you have into your resume,” Thomas says. “Instead, carefully consider whether or not the information will strengthen your resume for the job you’re pursuing.” Here are examples of information that you can add to your resume: Honors and awards If you include your awards, potential employers will see that previous employers or other organizations valued your accomplishments. The fact that you or your team received formal recognition for your efforts is a good indicator of your skills and work ethic. How to include: If you have a list of awards, add them to the Honors & Awards section on your Monster resume. If your awards are limited to one or two, “list them under the corresponding job,” says Sally McIntosh, NCRW, owner of Advantage Resumes in St. Academic honors can be added to the section. Testimonials “Testimonials add credibility and validate the accomplishments, personal traits and areas of expertise highlighted in the resume,” says Judy Friedler, NCRW, principal of resume-writing firm CareerPro International.

Testimonials could include excerpts from, snippets from, and even informal emails complimenting your work performance. How to include: Extract the strongest quotes and add to the section of your resume. “Testimonials can also be placed within the job description for the most relevant position,” McIntosh says. Publications Career-related articles, books, blog posts, white papers, and other publications are good ways of making a resume stand out.

“Including a list of published materials shows that you are considered an expert in your field,” Friedler says. “Even self-published content can demonstrate your excellent written communication skills.” How to include: Add a list of your published work to the career highlights section on your resume. Use the citation format that is most acceptable in your industry.

Speaking engagements Employers across many industries value employees who are good. “If you have delivered presentations on a topic that you feel would be valued by the hiring manager, include the highlights on your resume,” Thomas says. How to include: Add a list of speaking engagements to your career highlights section on your resume. Include the topic, where and when you delivered the presentation, and the audience size if you had a large turnout. Volunteerism “I am a strong advocate of adding to your resume—this demonstrates your dedication to your community and reflects positively on your character,” Friedler says.

How to include: Volunteer work can be placed in the career highlights section on your resume. Include the organization name, location, and years of involvement. “Be sure to add any leadership roles you held as well as important accomplishments,” she says. Volunteer roles held during periods of unemployment can be listed within your resume’s section—just because you weren’t paid doesn’t make the experience any less valuable. Affiliations Professional memberships—especially ones relevant to your career field—should be added to your resume. “Names of professional organizations can be used as keywords when searching for candidates in resume databases, so be sure that your resume reflects your active memberships,” McIntosh says.

How to include: Add your affiliations to the professional memberships section on your resume. Hobbies are tricky because some can be relevant and interesting on a resume, while others might be irrelevant or possibly hurtful to the candidate. “Ask yourself if your hobby will help employers see you in a better light, and if so, consider including it,” Friedler says. How to include: Add your hobbies to the interests and hobbies section on your resume.

Many reasons, but tops is if the job is in an area with a strong job market many hiring managers don't see the need to make the interview process longer and more difficult than if they just interview local people. Plus almost all hiring managers have had someone back out after offer because in the end the spouse wasn't on board with moving. Again in good markets, it is common for someone to accept a job, saying that they want to move to town.

But really they couldn't find a job back home so they took the job with no intent of moving, still interviewing back home, and quitting a month later. That happened enough near me during past 2 slowdowns that many managers said they would never hire non-local again. Since you have experience relocating I'd like to pick your brain if you don't mind.

I've heard that mentioning you're relocating is often an immediate disqualifyer. Easyworship 2009 with crack. It's just easier and more reliable to hire a candidate who already lives in the area. That would be my main motivation in omitting locations. Then I could convince them I'm sincere about relocating over the phone. I'm worried that just saying I'm going to relocate on my own in the resume won't seem reliable.

What's your experience with this? On the other hand moving without a job and living off savings until you find employment is much more risky. Have you ever done this? And finally, how difficult in general is it to find a job where you plan on relocating? Thanks again for any help! To your first point unless they specifically say they're looking for local candidates only they'll consider a relocation if the skills match what they're looking for and can't get anyone locally who is better. As far as putting the relocating at own expense on the resume I never personally did that; just sent my current resume as it was and if it came up that they won't relocate I'd let them know I'll relocate at my own expense.

I would definitely NOT move without a job; you never know how long it might take to get a job and you might run out of cash before you do. It isn't worth the drain on your resources.

To your last question, it really depends on what you do and what the local economy is like. I got lucky because I filled a niche role when I relocated so there wasn't much local competition. If, on the other hand, what you do is common you'll find it much harder to land a position. Not to say it's impossible just harder.
