Resume Writing Tips

I found this website by using google search.


“Nuts and Bolts of a Resume” and “Gather The Necessary Information Know thyself.”

Is what I have found the most useful tips for my resume in the future.

Under the “Nuts and Bolts of a Resume”
• Use specifics. A vague description of your duties will make only a vague impression.
• Identify accomplishments. If you headed a project, improved productivity, reduced costs, increased membership, or achieved some other goal, say so.
• Type your resume, using a standard typeface. (Printed resumes are becoming more common, but employers do not indicate a preference for them.)
• Keep the length down to two pages at the most.
• Remember your mother's advice not to say anything if you cannot say something nice. Leave all embarrassing or negative information off the resume--but be ready to deal with it in a positive fashion at the interview.
• Proofread the master copy carefully.
• Have someone else proofread the master copy carefully.
• Have a third person proofread the master copy carefully.
• Use the best quality photocopying machine and good white or off-white paper.

It helps me to well organize myself.

Under the “Gather The Necessary Information Know thyself.”

• Current address and phone number--if you are rarely at home during business hours, try to give the phone number of a friend or relative who will take messages for you.
• Job sought or career goal.
• Experience (paid and volunteer)--date of employment, name and full address of the employer, job title, starting and finishing salary, and reason for leaving (moving, returning to school, and seeking a better position are among the readily accepted reasons).
• Education--the school's name, the city in which it is located, the years you attended it, the diploma or certificate you earned, and the course of studies you pursued.
• Other qualifications--hobbies, organizations you belong to, honors you have received, and leadership positions you have held.
• Office machines, tools, and equipment you have used and skills that you possess.


I learned how to gather the information that will looks good on my paper, and what useful for me to be accepted.
