Resume Writing Tips

Here are a few resume tips to consider when writing your resume:

  1. Keep your statements to one or two sentences. Anything longer than that and the person reading your resume may lose interest.
  2. Effectively use the "white space" on your page. Guide the reader down the page, providing an occasional break for the eyes.
  3. Collect the information you need before actually writing the document itself. Do not "wing it". Prepare, plan, then place your accomplishments and such on paper.
  4. Your entire employment history does not need to be listed. Only note the most current positions you have held. Depending upon how much you have moved from job to job, that could be two employers or it could be five. Do not feel the need to re-create the last thirteen years on paper, though.
  5. Write professionally, avoiding jargon or slang.
  6. Revise, revise, revise. Make this piece of paper work for YOU.
