Resume Success by Mindy Yang

Having a good and presentable resume is one of the most important factors of one’s professional life. It is the first impression that “makes or breaks” your chances of proceeding to the next step of the hiring process. With thousands of hopeful applicants submitting their resumes to companies daily, it is important that your resume sticks out from the rest. Here are some tips that can help you gain success throughout the resume process!

1. Your resume must be neat! Having clear headings such as your name, education, experience and special skills make it easier for the individual to read.

2. More is not necessarily better. Having an excessively long resume can cause the reader to get bored and get lost in the content. It can also put you at risk at repeating yourself and sounding redundant.

3. Don’t lie! Getting caught in your lie during an interview or screening process can lead to embarrassment and definite rejection of the job that you are applying for.

Remember, your resume is how your potential boss perceives you before the interview process. You want to be displayed as an organized, straight forward and honest individual. With these helpful tips, you are already on your way to success!
