Do you ever wonder how to write a resume about yourself? Some people find it difficult to write a resume because they feel uncomfortable writing about their personal accomplishments and skills. They are afraid that they will come across as conceited or over the top. There is a delicate balance between sounding full of yourself and sounding sure that you will be the best fit for the job. It is possible to be confident and talk about your skills and abilities in a way that will make an employer more attracted to you as a prospective employee.

You should begin your resume with a heading that stands out. The heading, of course, should include your name, address, phone number(s) and your email address. Be sure that this information is up to date and include any phone numbers and email addresses that you want to be contacted at. It could be really bad if you provide a phone number that is not in service or that the employer cannot reach you at. Your heading should have your name in bold and in a larger font than the address and other information. Your name is what you want them to remember as they decide who to call for an interview.

The next section should tell the employer a little about you and your abilities. This is where you can explain the benefits that you have brought to other companies and the skills and training that you have acquired through the years. It would be bad to say that you are the best at anything as this could come across as conceited but to say that you are "extremely skilled at..." makes a confident impression. You can tell them how you can benefit their company in a way that speaks about how great you are and if you use the right words to do it you are sure to get a call for an interview.

Your job history is the next section that should be included on your resume. When you describe the work that you have done at your previous employers, be sure to include anything that you have done that also pertains to the position you are applying for. For example, if you are applying for an office position but have previously worked in a warehouse setting, it will be much more impressive to tell about the programs and computer work you did than it would if you told about operating a forklift.

In the skills and abilities section, be sure to include any software or computer systems you have operated in the past. Let them know that you communicate very well both orally and in writing as communication is a key part of many positions. If you have leadership experience, be sure to include this in this section as well.

Your ability to gain employment at a solid company and to receive the type of pay scale that you really want is within your reach. If you use your words carefully you can show them how valuable you will be to their company and that they should choose you to fill their open position.

Your resume provides an employer with a first impression of you so be sure that you use good grammar and that there are no misspellings on your resume. You will find that talking about yourself in your resume can be done in a way that is not conceited and that simply shows why you are the best choice.
