The Do List
1.Focus on the employer's needs, not on your own. You have to clearly address your accomplishments and skills in a way that an employer will want to find out more about you. (Read: Call you for an interview)
2.Keep your resume as short and sweet as possible. Remember that an employer is only likely to scan it for a few short seconds. It has to pack a punch right away. Use Action Keywords to bring your resume to life.
3.Proofread what you have typed. Proofread it again. Have your best friend look it over, then have your parents take a look at it. The more people who proofread it, the more likely you are to ensure it's free of typos and grammar errors.
A personal example: My husband recently decided to switch jobs. He was working with a headhunter and, of course, had to update his resume. We worked on it together, he worked on it himself and we both took turns proofreading it. We even had our 13 year old daughter proofread it. The headhunter read it, made some suggestions, we all proofed it again. We thought it was flawless. At a job fair in Dallas a few weeks later, my husband met with the headhunter and some other men to go over everything. Everything looked good. Three to four prospective employers read over his resume – and of course, he had a copy in front of himself, too. A few days later, he was contacted for a second interview and that same resume went through 3-4 other people. It wasn't until he was taking a tour of the manufacturing facility that he realized that one of the dates was not in chronological order.
You can't proofread too much!
4.Use quantifiable accomplishments wherever possible. If you increased revenues at the Super 24 Movie Complex, determine the extent to which you contributed to the monthly increase and use that number in your resume. People like numbers. If you saved the Mr. Friendly Syrup Company money by finding a better way to package their syrup, then find out how much was saved and state that.
5.Use good quality paper. Keep the color neutral, such as white or ivory. Linen paper, paper with watermarks and those with heavier weight (at least 24lb or higher) are great choices.
