Preparing your resume

Here are some tips to keep in mind
as you prepare your resume.

  • Tailor your resume for the job you are applying for. Only list jobs or experiences that are relevant.
  • Actively sell yourself by focusing on accomplishments and results rather than routine job descriptions.
  • Be conscious of the chronology of your employment history. The reader will be looking for reasons to eliminate as many resumes as possible.  Resumes with gaps of time are often overlooked.
  • Select strong "Power Words" for emphasis and use concise phrases and clauses rather than complete sentences.
  • Try your resume out on someone who knows you and isn't afraid to offer an honest and objective opinion.
  • Have a list of references prepared in advance and only provide them when requested.
  • Be sure to include a cover letter with each resume that you send out. The letter should be written so that it is specific to the company you are applying at. Try to avoid writing a "form letter."
