RESUME
The
resume is a selling tool so write a resume that outlines your skills
and experiences briefly so an employer can quickly see how you can contribute
to the specific workplace.
You write
a good resume because while you may have all the requirements to fill
a particular position, your resume is a failure if the prospective employer
does not come to the conclusion that you are the perfect candidate.
Write a good resume so that your resume ends up in the "consider
file" NOT the "reject file".
"How to
write a resume" process:
The resume
format is essential to reviewing all your personal and professional
successes. Refine your resume format, keep it concise and create a top-notch
resume that is a perfect reflection of you.
Content:
Name is at
top of the page when you write a resume: this is highlighted by larger
type size and bolding and an option to underline.
Make sure
that the Address and phone number(s) are complete and correct when you
write a resume.
All entries
when you write a resume highlight a capability or accomplishment.
Descriptions
use active verbs with consistent tense as you write a resume.
Repetition
of words or phrases are kept to a minimum when you write a resume.
Capitalization,
punctuation, and date formats are consistent as you write a resume.
There are
NO typos or spelling errors when you write a resume.
Organization:
Best assets
when you write a resume are listed first - whether education, experience,
or skills.
When you write
a resume the page must be easily reviewed: categories - clear, text
- indented.
Dates of employment
- easy to find and consistently formatted when you write a resume.
Your name

two conservative typestyles should appear when you write a resume.

structure when you write a resume.
Margins and
line spacing are used to minimize overcrowding when you write a resume.
When you write
a resume print only on one side of the high-quality bond paper - your
choice of beige or ivory is preferable when you write a resume.
Good reproduction
needed when you write a resume - no blurring, stray marks, or faint
letters.
Right justification
creates awkward white spaces when you write a resume - right side of
the page needs "ragged" format.
