RESUME TIPS

What is a Resume?

A resume is an organized, well written presentation of your qualifications for a job/career. It is a listing of your accomplishments and other relevant information targeted toward your goal.

 
What Should the Resume Do? The resume must make the employer want to meet you through an interview.

 

CREATING A RESUME
  • A resume must answer the question, "Why should I hire you?"
  • Sell Yourself. What skills do you have that will interest the employer?
  • List Your Accomplishments. Tell how many, how often.
  • Your resume must be professionally presented--neat, organized, concise, error free and clean.
  • Use neat formatting rules. Apply the correct margins, headings, boldface type, bullets for emphasis and to guide the reader's eye.
  • Use short sentences and short paragraphs.
  • Use New Times Roman or Arial font in a 12 point size.
  • Always tell the truth--don't lie,but you do not need to tell all! Your resume should be a positive document.
  • One page is preferred and is best!

  • Always include a cover letter.
