Re: Resume Writing
I would say I have looked at more resumes than I care to rememer with all the interviewing I have done through the years.
I did my son's and my daughter's and they both got great jobs right away. I would like to take some of the credit for that.
Best tip I can give you:
KISS (keep it simple s.....)
Make it one page.
Keep descriptions and responsibilities simple but provide enough to sell yourself relative to the skills the employer seeks.
Make it something you would want to read if you have many sitting on your desk.
Make it have enough about you but yet leave the reader wanting to speak to you to learn more about you.
Make it stand out from all others. A resume that is different but concise always gets more attention.
Most important, more than the resume itself at times for me, was to see a well thought out and prepared cover letter that showed me you know what type of job you are seeking, what we offer, and how you can fit that bill.
Hope that helps.
