When you create or edit your Monster resume, you are asked to name your resume. The name you pick will be featured across the top of your resume in bold and colored text as the resume headline, so select a name that is memorable and professional.
Experts suggest learning about appropriate job titles before writing the resume title field. 'First conduct a search for representative jobs that interest you,' says Ginger Korljan, principal of Take Charge Coaching in Phoenix. 'Whatever title you choose, the remainder of your resume should demonstrate why you are qualified for that position,' she says.
You are allotted up to 35 characters for the 'resume name' field in the Monster Resume Builder, so select your words carefully. Don’t be afraid to use abbreviations to save space, and keep in mind that the goal of your title is to compel employers to keep reading your resume.
'An effective title includes your career objective and your strongest qualification - that could be years of experience, an industry credential or a job-related skill,' says Pamela Hann, CPC, a workforce services specialist for the Kansas Department of Commerce.
'I would advise most clients to include at minimum their desired job target and the number of years of experience,' says Joe Perez, CPRW and owner of Seattle-based resume-writing firm Writing Wolf.
Perez says that this is not the place to try to be clever or witty. 'Employers want serious professionals who don’t need to rely on gimmicks,' he says. So avoid stunts like 'Hire Me!' or 'I’m Your Best Candidate!' and desperate pleas like 'Out of Work and Need a Job.' Also, steer clear of using your name for your resume title. 'Jane Smith Resume' doesn’t tell a hiring manager anything about your qualifications or job target.
