Resume Do’s and Don’ts

Writing your resume can be a difficult and intimidating task. Here are some suggestions that can help you prepare a winning resume.

Determine your job search objective before writing your resume.
Think of your resume as a marketing tool. Strive to be clear and concise.
Use your resume to obtain an interview, not a job.
Use bulleted sentences rather than lengthy paragraphs.
Use #’s, $’s and %’s. They stand out in the body of a resume.
Lead with your strengths since resumes are normally reviewed in about 30 seconds.
Use buzzwords that show your competence but refrain from using industry slang.
Accent the positive and leave off negatives and irrelevant points.
Prepare your resume to demonstrate your breadth of knowledge rather than focusing on one area.
Construct your resume to read easily.
Include relevant dates of employment.
Include your job duties, but don’t leave out your accomplishments.
Leave off personal information that is not relevant to your job search.
Write short, east-to-read statements about your skills, experience, and abilities.
Don’t be long-winded. Focus on grabbing the reader’s attention quickly.
Proofread your resume several times before submittal.
