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.
