#10 – The “One Page Rule” does not apply to today’s resumes.
#9 – Avoid listing objectives, personal information, summaries of your resume, and “references available upon request”.
#8 – Remember, your resume is a sales tool, not a history lesson.
#7 – Your resume is a living document; update it at least twice a year.
#6 – Account for automated search tools when writing your resume, and not just the human eye.
#5 – Summarize your technical skills at the beginning of your resume.
#4 – Use descriptive language and “power words” when listing your work experience.
#3 – Use phone numbers and email addresses you will check often and make sure messages and addresses are professional in nature.
#2 – Don’t stretch the truth on your accomplishments. Being caught in the tiniest of white lies can effectively end an interview.
