A well written resume says a lot about the person who
wrote it. The better written the resume will usually mean a
better quality candidate to the person reviewing it. Here are
some helpful tips on how to write a better resume:
- Include
the month and year for every position listed on a resume.
- Include
any accomplishments or awards at the top of each position.
- Keep
your resume in bullet form versus paragraph form. The last
thing a company wants to do is have to read a resume.
- Try to
keep a resume to one page. If not possible it should not be
any longer than two pages.
-
Education should be listed at the bottom of the resume
versus at the top, unless you are a recent college graduate
and have no work experience.
- Keep
personal information
that is unrelated to the job out of a resume.
- If you
are going to have an objective, customize it for each
company. Generic objectives can sometimes screen out a
candidate.
-
Proofread a resume for any spelling errors, typos, and
incorrect grammar.

| There are several key tips to interviewing well. A well
prepared interviewee can really impress a potential employer.
Here are some tips to remember and follow before, during, and
after an interview: |
- Before
you interview do some research on the company you are
interviewing with. In this market, it is important to know
as much as possible.
- Have
educated questions about the company, the industry, and the
vision of the role you are interviewing with.
-
Research competitors of the company and company financials.
- Dress
professionally no matter what type of position you are
applying for.
- Arrive
about 10 minutes early.
- Bring
at least one copy of your resume to the interview.
- During
the interview make sure to make eye contact with the
interviewer and always sit up straight.
-
Elaborate on your answers. Try not to respond with only a
yes or a no.
- Don’t
chew gum or have any candy in your mouth when interviewing.
- Make
sure to close the interview and ask for next step in the
process. Ask for the interviewees recommendation to move
forward in the interview process. It is smart to ask how you
compare to other candidates in the process- it could be the
last time to overcome any hesitations or objections.
- Make
sure to get a business card so that you can send a follow-up thank you.
