Think Like A Pro: How To Evaluate Resumes Samples
This is a summary of a great article I found at http://resumes-samples.net. The whole article and many more you can find on that website.
There are many resumes samples that you’ll find in books, magazines and online. Most employers can tell the best resumes at a glance. 1. Don’t Lie. If you do get the job and the company finds out later that you lied on your resume you could be fired.
Don’t keep irrelevant information on your resume. Don’t make the reader have to hunt through your resume to find the important information.
Paragraphs are for essays and stories. Instead, keep your resume easy to read at a glance. Use bullet points to further showcase your information.
Don’t put too much information in your resume. Remove some of the dead weight on your resume to make room for the information the counts.
If you highlight it you are asking to do that part of the job again.
Try your best to get your resume down to one page. Your resume should be short and concise.
But – don’t cram it into one page using the smallest font on earth.
Don’t have any spelling or grammatical errors on your resume. Check it once, check it again and then have someone else check it. One spelling error will land your resume in the “no” pile.
Don’t use different font or crazy headings in your resume. Choose a format and stick to it throughout your resume. Most people prefer New Times Roman or Arial.
You are not making the resume as a tell-all book so don’t put negative things on your resume. 10. Don’t use one resume for every job opening. Instead you should custom tailor your resume to highlight the things that work best for the employer.
