Resume tips
When you write a resume, remember the following suggestions:
- Write a brief, one-page resume.
- Use the same headings and abbreviations throughout your
resume.
- Emphasize your most important experiences and skills.
- Use different types of styles (bold, CAPITALS,
italics,underlining) to accentuate your
accomplishments and make your resume visually appealing.
- Use standard fonts such as Times New Roman in an accepted font
size (10 or 12).
- Print your resume on quality, 8 1/2" x 11" white paper. If
possible, use a laser printer.
- Proofread your resume several times before mailing it; do
not rely on spell check or grammar check. If possible, have
someone review your resume to make sure that it does not include
any errors.
- Do not list previous salaries, supervisors, or personal
information.
