Four Top Tips for Resumes

1. Tailor Each One
When I review resumes, anyone who hasn't taken the time to personalize their resume for the specific job opening, goes in the "No" pile.

2. Don't Include Everything
The purpose of the resume is to get you an interview.  Highlight your most relevant experience so the employer will be interested enough to interview you.

3. Make it Skimmable
People don't read any more.  Use headers and white space so it is easy and fast to skim your resume.

4. Showcase Accomplishments
Think: What have I done that will be interesting to this employer? What have I done that is relevant to this job?   Don't just list skills and experience, describe outcomes.
