Resume Writing Tips:
1. Always double check your resume to be sure that it is grammatically correct. This can be done with spell check on your computer.
2. Be very familiar with the position you are applying for, this might mean adjusting your resume so you are highlighting your skill set that fits the position you are applying for.
3. Make sure your resume ?flows? nicely with your education, employment and skills you posses. There are a lot of good examples you can view on line.
4. Remember your resume is sometimes the hiring manager?s first impression of you. So be creative and concise when it comes writing your resume. You can add an image of yourself or maybe even a video clip as your cover letter!
5. It?s important to add a cover letter to your resume. This will summarize you background and why the hiring manager should hire you. Good examples of covers letters can be found online as well.
6. Be sure you add dates and locations of where and when you were in employed. Hiring Managers will usually bounce these resumes back if they are not included.
7. No resume, just bullets of some of your experience or a sloppy written resume a lot of times is an automatic ?NO? by the hiring manager.
8. Too much information on a resume is not good either. Hiring managers don?t want to sift through a 10 page resume. Again you want to highlight your skills not give them a ?blow by blow? from day one!
9. Supplying references and or letters of recommendation with your resume can put you in a favorable light with the hiring manager.
10. Lastly, just because you?re applying for a position with an ?Adult? Company
doesn?t mean you don?t need a professional looking resume. Mainstream or Adult
hiring managers look down upon a poorly written or incomplete resume.
