50 Resume Tips to Propel
Your Job Search to the Next Level
(Step-by-Step
Approach to Resume Writing) - Part 5 |
41) If you
are still employed, use the present tense to describe
your responsibilities in your current job and use the
past tense to describe your responsibilities in your
prior jobs.
42) Start your sentences with action verbs.
43) Be careful with punctuations.
44) Number your pages (unless your resume only has one
page) and state the total number of pages. E.g.:
45) Put your name at the top of all the pages of your
resume.
E-mail Address
46) Make sure you have a professional e-mail address.
E.g., if you have RockyV@hotmail.com and your name is
not "Rocky," there's something wrong. Open a new account
like john.doe@gmail.com.
Reviewing Stage
47) Once you are done with the first draft of your
resume, proofread it many times. One trick to catch
typos is to read your resume backward. Yes, it works!
48) Put your resume aside and do something else. Come
back on it later with a fresh mind. While you go through
your second round of revision, ask yourself the
following questions:
- Is your resume clear and easy to read?
- Is your resume compelling?
- Is your resume free from typos and grammatical
mistakes?
- Does your resume look professional?
- Does your resume fit the job description?
49) Ask a friend or a family member to look at your
resume. Ask for feedback and keep an open mind.
50) Review your resume one last time.
That's it. You have a brand new and tailored resume
ready to go!
