Answer 1

You have defined your qualifications clearly.

I would offer a few suggestions: Place a colon after "Personal Profile", (capitalise Profile, as it is a sub-heading.)

You should say "accustomed to" instead of "used to" in the next line.

I would say "I am comfortable working both by myself and as part of a team."

In the next paragraph, perhaps "situations" may look better than "deals".

Key Skills: (sub-heading, capitalise.)

"Competant at reading" rather than "good".
"in both English & Russian" rather than "both in".

Work Experience: (sub-heading, capitalise.)

"Key duties consisted of...." not "in".

Colon after Education

Colon after "2007".

Colon after "present".

GOOD LUCK!!

Answer 3

Your grammar appears to be OK....could use some revision in word choice, such as "conversant with" instead of "good at." However, sentences should not be used on a resume, e.g., your goal should be : "Credit Analyst" (or whatever the job title is) and in bold. The following are a few tips I put together for a resume class:

Resume Tips
By
Marvin Cohn (drdos43)
(Resume writing instructor and HR person)


An HR (Human Resources) person at a medium to large business is going to look at your resume the first time for less than 5 seconds…that’s right, about 5 seconds. If he or she does not see anything that they are looking for in those 5 seconds, there is a good probability that your resume will be trashed. (Of course, they might send you a rejection notice stating that your resume is on file and that they might be contacting you in the future….Don’t count on it… although it does happen rarely…about as often as you’ve won the grand prize in the Texas lottery..

Therefore, place as much pertinent information about you concerning the job for which you are applying near the top of the resume if you can.

About 25% White Space- White Space is area that is blank.

Consistent Spacing

One font … Times New Roman, Arial, or Century Gothic are good….bigger and/or bolder is ok.

No italics, No Script, No right slashes (/) and No left slashes (\), No Graphics or Colors ---High speed black and white scanners hate these things.
NO SENTENCES, Do not use the word, “I’”

No misspellings. Check every word very carefully both with a spell-check and your own eye.

Name: Big and Bold

Address, Phone, and Email: Should be much smaller than your name, but readable...if they want you they'll find you.

Objective: Short and To the Point, e.g., If you are applying for a job description of Medical Assistant, your objective is “Medical Assistant” in bold and first. (For pity’s sake, do not begin your objective with “To obtain…”or anything else that comes off a word processing wizard or template.)

Body: Minimum of 10 pt for Arial and Century Gothic, minimum 12 pt for Times New Roman …However, you may bullet, bold, and increase the font size where you want to draw attention to an item…but don’t over do it.

Qualifications: If you include a list of skills, Bullet them in one or two columns.

Work Experience:

Functional or Skills vs Reverse Chronological: A Reverse Chronological listing of work experience starts with your most recent work experience first and works its way back in time. This type of listing sometimes is not appropriate, unless requested by the prospective employer. Your first listings of work experience should pertain specifically to the job for which you are applying, regardless of the dates. This type of listing is called Functional. It is what you want the HR to see first. For example, if you are applying for a job of flipping hamburgers at MacDonald’s and the last three years you worked as nuclear physicist on the Manhattan Project at the University of Tennessee, and previous to that you had a job flipping hamburgers at Wendy’s, put the Wendy’s job experience first.

Job Titles in Bold, if they pertain to the job for which you are applying…location and dates not in bold…only use years for the dates or month and year for dates not exact dates. You do not have to include all your work experience. If you have had many jobs, in a short period of time, that indicates to an HR that you cannot hold a job and are probably unreliable, which may or may not be the case. Just try to make sure that you can later explain any long time gaps between jobs as the HR might assume that was when you received your prison release papers. Just in case, you were in prison, do not put the experience on the resume. You can always, at the interview, explain the time gap as a personal or family crisis and not explain further

Your job duties do not necessarily have to be included. Everyone knows what a cashier does. Everyone knows what a sales associate does. Everyone knows what a CEO or CFO does. (However, if you were a herpetologist applying for a receptionist position, it might be a good idea to list the duties of a herpetologist.) It is better to include what you did better than anyone else in that same position and/or something you accomplished that was more than your position required... For example, if you were a sales associate (formerly known as clerk), put down something like this instead of duties that all sales associates are supposed to do: Commended for Excellence in Customer Service, or Awarded Highest Sales of the Month, or, Made Bank Deposits for My Department. Never lie! But if your manager, at any time, had complemented you for doing a good job, you have the right to say, Commended for Excellence in Job Performance.

Education: Your education should be listed either last or next to last on your resume unless:
1)The job specifically requires a certain degree of education
2)You have very little work experience

Then put your education and degrees near the beginning.

Awards and Activities: Community Service, Activities, Sports, Clubs, Organizations, Awards, Special Recognition, etc.: Each item should be listed last unless it pertains to your work experience and prospective job. Many times a job was awarded to an applicant who had very few qualifications for that job, but who just happened to have some of the same interests as the interviewer, such as cooking ….so list them.

NEVER NEVER include a salary requirement. If an employer is asking for a salary requirement, there probably is no job opening. It is a way for employers to find out what a certain job position is going for in a specific area of the country. Do not bother applying. All salaries are “negotiable.”

Reluctantly apply to employers who are EOE (Equal Opportunity Employer). Employers who follow Federal Government EOE guidelines (for tax breaks, etc.) must advertise a job opening even if that job opening is already filled…and many times it is already filled from within the company.

Never include references unless asked for…Don’t even waste the space writing “References upon request. However, prepare a separate reference sheet that may be requested later.

Oh, yes...and on your way to an interview, do not cut anyone off in traffic. It could be your interviewer .... and that's happened.
