Purpose of your resume

The objective of your resume is to land an interview, and the interview will land you the job

Put the most important information first When describing your experiences or

skills, list the most important ones first.

Resume Tips

“no kidding” information There are many people that like to include

statements like “Available for interview” or “References available upon request

Use bullet points No employer will have the time (or

patience) to read long paragraphs of text.

Resume Tips

Avoid negativity

Do not include information that might sound negative in the eyes of the employer

Don’t include irrelevant information Irrelevant information such as

political affiliation, religion and sexual preference will not help you
