Resume Tips
From e-resume.net®

  • Inaccuracies. While you should watch for inaccuracies in the body of your resume, you should also make sure that all of your contact information is correct. If you transpose a digit in your phone number or do not update an address, an employer is not going to waste his or her time tracking you down. They will simply move on to the next if they cannot reach you because you gave them wrong contact information.


  • F is for Formatting. The best rule of thumb when formatting your resume is to keep it simple. Use a professional font and avoid using text boxes and inserts. They might look nice on paper, but they will not translate onto job boards and they often do not work well as attachments.


  • Accept Help.  Resume writing is a tricky business. If everyone knew how to do it well, there wouldn't be so many companies offering to do it for you. Many resume writing services will write your college, professional, executive or technical resume in addition to your resume cover letter and thank you letter. Writing services are excellent at turning your years of experience into a concise resume packed full of keywords that potential employers are looking for when weeding out qualified candidates. Not convinced? Most companies offer samples on their website so that you can get a good feel of their style of work.
