I cannot give you "tips" on what makes a good resume given the limited information, but if you would like to e-mail me your resume I'd be open to providing feedback on it. Just remember, what is good in the eyes of one HR individual reviewing a resume may not look as good in the other. As life goes, we all do have differing opinions.
Good luck! |

I do have a tip for a thank you letter/note.
Instead of sending a letter, send a card with a personalized note in it to each interviewer saying thanks or a comment of something that you remember from the interview from them. I agree that everyone views resumes differently. If I were to add a tip of a resume, I probably couldn't write it down I would have to see the resume to say if I liked it or not. It's hard to say, unless I was looking for specific requirements. |

I think the most important advice I could give is that you need to remember you're sending your resume to someone who may see dozens or hundreds of resumes a day. If yours is too long or the font is too small or you try to be too clever, I will toss it. I don't have time to try to dig out what I need to know. I need to CLEARLY see, right off the bat, where you've been, how long you've been there, what your job titles were, and what education you have. If I like what I see, I'll read the details. I also want to see a resume that has clearly separated work and education areas, and I don't care two hoots about your hobbies or height, weight, or marital status. I don't care to read about all of your goals. Give me the facts - just the facts. I'm reading it to see if you're qualified for the position. I'm not looking for a buddy to go out canoeing with next weekend! |
