Resume Writing Tips and Resources:

• Be clear and concise.  Clearly state your objective.   Clearly list your skills.

• Your resume defines your career.   Be specific about who you are in terms of the job you seek and your career goals.

• Don't sell yourself short.  Don't lie but don't ever undervalue yourself.   You can boast a bit.

• Use action words on your resume.   I found some great action word examples from "placementmanual.com".

• Use action phrases on your resume.    I found some great action phrases examples from "Xecutive Search Human Resource Consultants".

• Show examples of your skills within your job description.    Hi-light your skills in boldface within the job description.   For example - Utilized MS Access, C++, and Java for this project.

• Give examples of productivity in terms of profit for the company.   Increased revenue by 50%.   Reduced cost by 50%.

• Be like Mike.   If you want a job like Mike's, your resume should be similar to Mike's.

• Proofread, proofread, proofread.   You need to proofread your resume after you write it.   You need to proofread your resume again the next day.

• Tailor your resume to the job posting.  If you desire a particular job try to show some of the required job skills within your job experience.

• If you have references within the company you are applying at list them.   Otherwise leave them off your resume.

• Have a colleague proofread your resume.  Come on.  You must know someone in your desired field.   Have them proofread your resume.   This is also a great way to network which is the best way to find a job.

• If you are a foreign immigrant or your grammar is not perfect have a professional write your resume. 

• Consider paying a professional resume writer.   Even if you can write well, a professional resume writer can usually do it better.    They also take an objective look at you and they know how to hi-light your selling points on your resume.   This can be an investment of one hundred to a few hundred dollars but the return on your investment can be in the thousands!
