An organization has a core purpose for which it is established. Normally the main purpose especially for businesses is to make profits. In order to make profits, organizations always look towards minimizing the cost of production and thereby making maximum profits. In order to achieve these major goals of profit maximization, the company has guidelines which are summed up as the vision and mission statements of the organization. These guide the organization in order to achieve its desired goals.

It goes without saying that with the many goals that an organization has set to achieve, there need to be various departments in the organization which must work in harmony and coordinate their activities. The main aim is to achieve the goals and objectives of the organization. An organization has various departments and some of them are marketing, customer service, public relations and the human resource department.

Human resource officers in any given organization play a vital role in ensuring smooth operations of the organizations. They deal directly with the employees of the organization who are considered assets of the organization. They are not only involved in the recruiting of new employees, but also the training. They ensure that even the older employees of the organization work in a comfortable work environment.



There are numerous available positions in the field of human resources. However, the competition for these positions is equally high. This is so because unlike in the past, many organizations are now slowly coming to the realization of the significant role played by human resource officers. Due to the competition that characterizes this position, it is important for people seeking positions in this particular industry to ensure that they stand out from the rest.

When seeking a job in the human resource field, most of the time it becomes quite tricky especially because almost all candidates have similar qualifications. So then, how do you stand out from the rest of your colleagues when your qualifications are similar to theirs? This is in the manner in which you present yourself to the employer. They always say that the first impression creates a lasting impact. It is thus important that the presentation you make to the employer in regard to yourself be impressive. Usually this presentation is made by way of your resume.

When seeking a human resource job, one must come up with an impressive resume. It is important to remember that the main reason for writing a resume is to present to the employer one’s qualifications and experience in the best way possible. One must ensure that their resume is eye catching. An important point to note is that a resume is not a history of all the engagements of a person since birth. Instead, the history is confined or limited to one’s qualifications academically and educationally, as well as their skills and professional experiences.

To begin with, the resume is required to reflect the personal information of a person. This information should include but not be limited to the official full names of the applicant or candidate, their place of residence, their contacts, both telephone and email address where applicable, and their age. Other information that may be included although not required in most cases includes the marital status of the individual. Any other personal information that may be relevant to an employer should also be included. It is important to note that the information provided in this section should be current and up to date.

Having correctly given the correct details of one’s personal details, the next thing that should be reflected in the resume should be the career objective which is a summary of one’s qualifications. While writing the objective one must be extremely careful to maintain relevancy. The objective that appears on one’s resume should as much as possible be relevant, especially to the human resource position sought after. Deviation at this point could amount to jeopardy on your part, lessening your chances of clinching the human resource position. As already mentioned, the career objective is a summary of one’s qualifications and thus one must keep it brief.

Having given an impressive career objective, one is then supposed to put down in a chronological format their professional qualifications and or skills. This is extremely important, as it acts as a back up or evidence to the employer of your capability to perform the job. As a matter of fact it normally enables the employer to visualize your ability to professionally handle the job. One should begin with the most recent.

The next thing in a resume for a person seeking a position in the human resource field should be the educational and academic qualifications. This is the basis for which one is considered for a position in the human resource field, and indeed in any other professional field. In other words, it is the minimum requirement without which one may not receive any audience from any employer. Again chronology is the order where one ought to begin with the most recent and end with the initial stages of learning. Again honesty and utmost good faith must be demonstrated while writing a resume. As mentioned earlier, attempts to give wrongful or falsified information that may end up misleading the employer could be very jeopardizing and prejudicial to the candidate. He may be disqualified, or lessen his or her chances to a large extent of getting the desired position.

As you approach the conclusion of your resume, normally the last section is the referee section. This contains a list of people who know you very well, and can confirm the details in your resume to be your correct and professional position. Usually these are not relatives, but people that know you professionally.

Coming up with a resume for a position in the human resource field may appear easy, but can be somewhat tricky at times. It is thus of great importance to follow the above discussed tips, as they would help a great deal in getting the human resource position desired.
