Resumes have become a standard screening tool. The person who gets the job is not always the one who is most qualified, but the one who knows how to get the job. Don't let yourself be screened out by a poor resume.

A resume is a sophisticated marketing tool. It is an ADVERTISEMENT for you. You have only one chance to sell yourself with a resume - the first time someone reads it. It takes less than a minute for a potential customer to scan a resume and decide whether or not to consider calling you for an interview.

All resumes should contain employment history, education, skills, accomplishments and objectives.

A good resume should:

be brief (one or two pages at most)
be well organized and uncluttered
have an objective that targets the desired position
contain accomplishments rather than duties
use short statements rather than complete sentences
list strongest statements at the top, working downward
be professional looking with no grammar, spelling or punctuation errors
always be sent with a cover letter

A good resume shout not:

use the word "I"
include hobbies or social interests unless they are relevant
state reasons for leaving previous jobs (save that for the interview)
list salary history or requirements even if asked. (But don't ignore the request, either. Instead, make a statement in your cover letter like "salary requirements will be provided if a mutual interest exists).
include erroneous information
list references
include personal information (age, weight, marital status, etc.)
