Resume

Ashley Westbrook

The word Résumé comes from the French word, which means summary. Résumés are used for plenty of things but mainly for employment which shows your skills, accomplishments and background. When submitting your application, job recruiters take about 60 seconds to review your résumé and making a decision. Today, there are plenty people seeking employment and with such competition you need to build the perfect résumé. In order to get through the résumé screening process and actually get an interview you need to make sure your résumé has the following:

• Use a font that's legible and easy to read (Times New Roman, 12pt)
• Your email should be professional
• Content on your Résumé should stand out (full sentences are time consuming, so treat it as if they'll be scanning through a newspaper. They won't spend much time on your paper)
• Usually if your not sure about what tense you should use treat it as if your telling a story (if its current use present tense like: computing over 100 employees payroll. Past tense would be: Managed over 100 employees time worked)
