Thanks to Melanie at www.lifetips.com for providing this great tip.
DO:
- Be specific about your skills
- Use action words
- Keep to one page unless you have extension, unique experiences
- Use straight forward language, and have someone else proofread for grammar and spelling errors
- If possible, do it yourself, it will help on the interview if your information is fresh in your mind
DON’T:
- Ramble or write the resume as a narrative (use bulleted topics)
- Say anything negative
- List salary requirements
- Tell about hobbies, unless they are relevant to the work
- Give personal demographics (height, weight, age, children, spouse)
- Attach a photo
