Resume Tips
Write an Outstanding Resume
A resume is a marketing tool to sell yourself to the employer. Almost all jobs need a resume and your resume needs to show the employer that you have the skills, experience and personality to perform the job well. The resume summarizes your strengths and accomplishments and is designed with the goal to get you a job interview. Employers will look at one resume on average of 20 to 30 seconds before moving on to the next resume. It is important that your resume is formatted properly so that it is easy to find important information, has a good layout, readable font type and size and enough white space.
