Organization

Use action words to describe skills, completed tasks, job responsibilities.
Expect to write more than one draft.
Quantify with numbers, dollar amounts and percentages whenever possible (For example, "Organized event for 200 people which raised $2,000 for club charity fund raiser").
Be brief, concise and action-oriented.
Use bullets to set off each major idea.

Appearance

Error-proof your resume.
Spelling, punctuation, typing errors, erasures, and correction fluid marks will screen you out from being considered for an interview.
Use bond paper in white, eggshell or cream with black print.
Be sure to leave plenty of margin space (approximately 3/4 to one inch).
Better to use two pages than to squeeze everything on one page.
Use standard print style for easy reading.
Use letter quality or laser printers. Photocopies should be sharp and clean. Black spots, smudges or shadows are not acceptable.
Special effects are primarily used for the creative industries of public relations, advertising, marketing and the media. Others should be conservative in nature.

Content

It is unnecessary to put the word "Resume" at the top of the page.
Listing job objectives can be restrictive. Your objective may be to get an interview for every job for which you qualify.
Continuing education, certifications, company training workshops and licenses are included in the Education segment.
DO NOT include personal characteristics (height, weight, age), gender, religion, marital status, health, number of children or organizations considered controversial.
DO NOT include salary requirements or reasons for leaving a job.
DO NOT include references in a resume.
Never send a resume without a personalized cover letter.
Avoid the use of the word "I".
Avoid jargon and exaggeration.
Do not use a nickname on the resume.
