Present Tense for Your Resume Writing
Present Tense for Your Resume WritingWhen it comes to writing resumes, it is important to know how to present the information in a manner that the employer can understand. There are three possible ways in which a person can present information for their future employer: present tense, past tense, and current tense. Present tense will tell the employer that you are telling the truth, in the present. In present tense, you can say exactly what you want to say, to the employer, and they can see the same thing happening right in front of them.As far as past tense is concerned, the past tense means 'I' as opposed to 'we.' So, your resume can be written like this: 'I, Luke Smith' - we write it 'I, Luke Smith'. In the past tense, you can say exactly what you want to say, at least in your mind. This can make it easier for the employer to understand you, especially if you use the past tense.However, when it comes to present tense, you will not have a choice about it. The employer will automati cally know whether you are lying, if you are stating the truth or just asking for an interview. For this reason, present tense is most suited to people who are relaying the truth about their past jobs. People with past jobs that they really did want to keep will choose to use present tense when they are relaying what they have done in the past.However, if you have more than one job, you will have to do the same thing as when it comes to presenting the truth. Because there is no way to know the truth about each of your past jobs, you have to present the truth as best as you can in present tense, and let the employer know whether you have had any experience with the job, or you still want to pursue it.At this point, if you have only recently gotten a new job, you may not even be familiar with the rules for presenting a future job. For example, you can't write your resume in present tense, because you don't have any past jobs yet. So, if you want to cover the basics in your resume, you can write a form letter, with past tense to tell the employer you are presenting the future job. If you want to add details to the letter, you can use present tense to show the employer how much you are excited about the job.Now, if you already have a past job and you are applying for a future job, you can simply state the facts about the past job, using present tense. However, if you do not have a past job and you are applying for a job, you will have to be more creative in order to convince the employer. To accomplish this, you can either use both present tense and past tense on your resume letter, to cover the information about your past jobs.There are a few other reasons why you will use present tense, besides the fact that you do not have a past job. First, this is how the company wants to present you as an employee, and second, it is what your prospective employer is accustomed to reading. Thus, he or she will trust that you will give them the exact information about the past job.
