Resume Tips

Having a good resume is an important part of landing the right job!  Here are some tips we've compiled from our experience:

• Use action words such as "created", "managed", "initiated."
• Be sure to proofread your resume carefully for spelling and grammatical errors.
• Don't use the first person singular ("I" or "me").
• Where possible, state how the results of your accomplishments benefited your department or company.
• Quantify as much as possible: how many dollars you saved the company, how many people you managed, etc.
• Emphasize your experience and skills that are relevant to the position you are looking for.
• Highlight your most important responsibilities, even if they weren't your primary job responsibilities.
• List the most relevant and important points first; don't make the reader wade through half your resume before coming across your most impressive skills.
• Gear your resume towards the position you are looking for.
• Your resume should be clear and concise.
• Include your dates of employment.
• Be truthful as to your skills and experience; you can expect to have both assessed aside from your resume claims.
