Tips

• Prepare a resume that would draw employer’s attention within few seconds of glance by using job titles and skill headings that relate to and match the jobs you want.
• Resume must highlight the most important information about your work experience, skills and education. At first glance this information forms the image that employers have of your skills and abilities.
• As you compile statements for your resume, prioritize them by importance, impressiveness and relevance to the job you want.
• Use bullet entries for a clean, easy-to-read look.
• Do not include information that might sound negative in the eyes of the employer.
• Highlight your professional achievements instead of listing your responsibilities.
• Resume has to be short with all the necessary information.
• Update the resume on a regular basis.
• If you have worked a long time for the same company (over 10 years) it could be a good idea to list all the different positions and roles that you had during this time separately
• Don't include salary requirements.
• Don't devote space to items not directly related to the job you are seeking, such as hobbies, personal data (height, weight, and marital status)
