Resume Writing Tips

You’re resume may be used to:

• Evaluate your education, skills and experience in relation to the position that is open
• Compare you against your competition
• Confirm your salary requirements
• Answer a question about your education, skills or experience
• Decide if you come back for a second interview
• Refer you to another department or affiliate for other open positions

Make sure that your resume content catches their attention and conveys why you are a candidate worth interviewing.

Top 5 Resume Tips:

• Your resume is about your future, not your past.
• It’s not a confessional, you don’t have to “tell all”.  Stick to what’s relevant and marketable.
• Don’t write a list of job descriptions.  Write Achievements!
• Promote only skills you enjoy using.
• Be honest.  You can be creative, but don’t lie.
