4. BREVITY IS
POWER
In this regard, I am not necessarily saying that there is one key length you should
model. Rather, I am merely advocating that you pay attention to the length of your
resume. In no circumstance should it extend beyond two pages, and if it goes beyond
one page, there should be a good reason, such as vital relevant experience that
distinguishes you from the rest of the pool of applicants. Also, ensure that you are
highlighting your strengths! Employers have to be told why they want you, and your
resume is the first way to do so.
5. MakeYourResumeTellaStory
Your resume should tell a story. It should be easy to follow, letting an employer
look at one job and understand how you ended up where you are today. There
should be a clear example of professional development that not only elaborates
on your work history and emphasizes your strengths, but also enables
employers to see you at their company as the ending to your resume.
Resumes can be very difficult to formulate. Remaining brief
while engaging and informative all at the same time is no easy
feat, but if you incorporate the above tips, you should be
well on your way to not just getting the interviewbut
getting the job. Good luck!
