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.
Read It. Read it, take a break and read it again. After you write your resume, go over it several times. It is a good idea to walk away from the document, sleep on it and then make more revisions in the morning. Remember, your resume is your personal testament that you are the right person for the job. Spelling or grammatical errors show a future employer that you are willing to send in sloppy work. Not so much of a writer? Enlist a grammar-savvy friend who can find mistakes that you might not catch. You will be surprised at what someone else might find.
