Resume Writing

I have seen a lot of resumes over the past couple of weeks. A few pointers when writing a resume:

• Describe in-depth the role you performed at current and previous jobs
• Bullets are kind to the eyes - a lot of text is overwhelming
• Keep your resume organized - nix the clutter
• Ask for someone to review it - as well as you may write, having someone else look at it for readability it essential
• Resumes should be two pages or less (unless your experience dictates otherwise) - put yourself in the shoes of the people reading the resumes
• If you have never written a resume before, ask for a sample resume

I was sent a link to share with everyone regarding Resume writing and letters of recommendation. I have read through the resume writing portion and many of the tips are relevant to our industry.

Good luck writing your resume and let me know if you would like me to review. I encourage you to follow my blog for more tips/pointers provided by other followers and friends. Thanks everyone for your input!
