Resume Tips


   Simple
      Spellcheck – This is a quick and simple way to improve a resume, and should be the last step a candidate takes before sending the document
      Grammar – Consistent use of tense (preferably past tense), correct punctuation, etc., should be ensured
      Formatting – The key here is consistency -- a maximum of two standard fonts used in a consistent manner throughout the document, conservative and consistent use of bolding and bullets, use of upper and lower case letters, consistent spacing from beginning to end. Do not use colored fonts or clip art

   Advanced
      Rewrite your Professional Summary for each job for which you’re applying
      Accomplishments and actions versus duties and responsibilities
      Speak of what you contributed to the project, not what the project accomplished
      Include quantitative data (time saved, money saved, effort saved)
      How you exceeded expectations
      Strive to get the Professional Summary, Skills Summary and the beginning of the Professional Experience section on the first page of the resume, so as to grab the attention of a person who may have only 30 – 60 seconds to devote to each in a stack of resumes

   Our Preferred Format
      Professional Summary – a one- to three-sentence overview of your career highlighting the skills and experiences relevant to the particular assignment at hand
      Skills Summary – a comprehensive listing of the specialized professional skills utilized in your career – current skills listed first, relevant skills bolded if possible
      Professional Experience – a reverse chronological listing, including verifiable employment dates (month and year), describing your contributions and accomplishments
      Education and Certifications – list only accomplishments that can be verified
