Resume Tips

Everyone has tips for writing a resume, here are OOL's:

  • It should begin with your most current position and continue back through your employment history.  This style emphasizes continuity and career growth.
  • Include achievements and highlights within the period in which they occured. 
  • Be clear on the scope and control of your position.

  • Quantify your accomplishments (%, $, etc.)

  • Be precise with dates.

  • Give a brief description of each company and industry in which you have worked.

  • Try to direct your resume to a hiring manager, send it to human resources only when absolutely necessary.

  • Be concise and to the point without sacrificing valid content.

  • Prepare a reference list with description of relationships and all relevent contact information.

  • Focus on current history without neglecting the past; most interviewers will spend the most time exploring your current position.

We hope that these tips aid in your resume construction process!
