RESUME DO'S
AND DON'TS DO'S Ø
Use
short phrases rather than complete sentences.
Consider using bullet statements. Ø
Open
with a career objective. Ø
Keep
the resume to one page. Employers
simply do not have the time or patience to read a lengthy document.
Make it easy for them to read yours. Ø
Make
it visually appealing. Use
lots of white space and wide margins, which makes it easy to scan. Ø
Use
the present tense to describe your current job. However, if describing something already implemented or
achieved, use the past tense. All
previous positions or activities should be described in the past tense. Ø
Use
capital letters, underlining, bullets, and bold letters to emphasize
certain items to make them stand out.
But use them sparingly or they lose their effect. Ø
Be
sure your resume is neat and well laid-out with no spelling errors. Ø
Stress
you accomplishments and the benefits of your contribution. DON'TS Ø
Don't
use abbreviations or professional/technical jargons. Ø
Don't
include any personal information such as age, martial status, and number
of children, health or anything that does not support your career
objective. Ø
Don't
use odd-sized paper; overly fancy stock, color, style or anything
considered eccentric. Use
white 81/2' X 11" paper. Ø
Don't
include a photo of yourself. Ø
Don't
list a minimum salary requirement. Ø
Don't
include reasons for leaving other jobs.
A review of your work experience should give the impression that
the reason you left one job was to take a better one. Ø
Don't
include "references available upon request".
If an employer wants references, they'll ask. Ø
Don't
send out a resume that isn't spotless. Ø
Don't
use "I" to begin sentences that describe your work experience
or activities. Instead,
begin with words that convey action. |
