Resume Tips



To make a good resume the one thing you should always do is know who you are on paper. List your name in bold letters, put down your current address, phone number you are more accessible to and a professional email address that bares your name only. Write down your current school and if still attending post your graduation date. Put down your past employment in chronological order and task given in your former job, make sure to put down correct work experience information as the employer might background check it and if any information is not correct it will look bad and make your prospect of getting the job lower.
 
Put down skills that suits the job you’re currently looking for if set skills you indeed have. Everything in your resume should fit what you think the employer is looking for as best as possible. Write down everything you did in your past jobs even if it was minimal and unimportant in your mind. Cover letter might not be needed but some employer might require you to write one. Check for any minor mistakes and keep things simple, while flashiness might get the employer to glance at your resume, they might see it in a negative way.

To Wear or Not To Wear?: Tips on dressing for success

So, the first step is over. You finished filling out the application for the job; listing all of your work experience, answering numerous questions about your work ethic on an online questionnaire, and you even polished up your hand dandy resume! After restless nights of worrying, you finally get a call saying they would love to have you come in for an interview: now what? First, don't panic !
