Freelance Resume Writing
|
A freelancer is not limited to "their" country.
That's one of the reasons why being an online freelancer is so exciting/profitable.
Because these prospective business employers can not meet face-to-face with you, the positioning of your written freelance resume will make or break any deal.
The Key to freelance resume writing is to take its effectiveness to the highest level...to be noticed apart from the competition...AND...to be selected for the job.
Let's Get Started
Your freelance resume must not be your "normal apply for a job type."
To make perfect your marketing, your resume must include:
- Name, address, phone (with country code) and e-mail
- Objective (to be specific for each job you bid on)
- Service you Provide (Strengths and Proficiencies using "keywords.") Using keywords properly will make or break your resume.
- Accomplishments (tell why you are best for the job using a max of 3 short paragraphs) Using keywords, list expertise and technical skills>/li>
- Listing of awards, honors, special licenses and certificates held
- References (from professors, employers and clients including contact info)
Using WORD, make several, yes several drafts.
This will allow for fine tuning, making your presentation "tight" by eliminating unnecessary words, even thoughts that are not right on target.
Have a minimum of three others read it to insure it flows well and is devoid of typos, etc.
Be sure to use keywords...but do not overdo. For instance if "HTML" is one of your proficiencies, use it, but no more than twice. No stuffing allowed. Others do it, but not you.
Freelance resume writing must be specific for each job sought!
Why?
You only get one shot to be selected.
No personal interview is likely.
Freelance resume writing in WORD allows you to adapt each opportunity to a certain set of skills that the prospective employer needs.
Therefore, you must be focused on the employers objective and not have useless words that clutter your message.
Speaking of focused.
For each employer or client you submit as a reference, include a sentence on your responsibilities/accomplishments that relate specifically to your job objective with the prospective employer.
This will distinguish your freelance resume writing from many other resumes.
Again, don't muddy the waters with "stuff' you are proud of but does not pertain to the focused objective.
Practicing your freelance resume writing will give you the skill necessary to achieve your desire to earn money online by freelancing your talents.
To obtain your share of freelance jobs, your freelance resume "must" be attention getting. So, to review:
(1) Please, please write a "specific resume" for each freelance job applied for;
(2) Focus and include "only" your past responsibilities/accomplishments which pertain to your freelance job objective;
(3) Don't be flowery. Just be to the point concisely as possible; and
(4) Practice your cover letter or introduction letter to insure that you focus on how "the employer will benefit from your expertise."
