Resume Advice

Some of these may seem obvious, but they still happen ALL the time!! 

 

  • Don't put your name or contact information into a header or footer. A lot of recruiter and company databases cannot read them
  • Don't forget your phone number!
  • State month and years with employment dates
  • Give a 1 line description of the company and what type of business it conducts
  • List responsibilities with an achievement for each one. With each achievement - why is it an achievement? Compared to what?
  • Back up your achievements with tangible figures when possible
  • For roles that you had over 10 years ago just list the name of the company and job title, a full description is not required
  • Include industry or academic qualifications
  • References should be on a separate sheet ready to go - they should only be your previous direct managers
  • Maximum length of resume should be 3 pages for junior management and 5 pages for senior management
  • Always ask someone to proof your resume before sending it out. You'll have spent so long looking at it you won't notice all the typos!
