Resume Tips
From e-resume.net®

  • Honesty. As tempting as it may be, do not lie in your resume. Someone will find out, whether through referencing or in an interview slip-up. Just don't lie and feel good knowing that you got the job in an honest manner.


  • Inaccuracies. While you should watch for inaccuracies in the body of your resume, you should also make sure that all of your contact information is correct. If you transpose a digit in your phone number or do not update an address, an employer is not going to waste his or her time tracking you down. They will simply move on to the next if they cannot reach you because you gave them wrong contact information.


  • Verbs. Pretty much every sentence should begin with a verb, but not just any verbs. You need to use power verbs. Power verbs are results-oriented and lend themselves to positive description of accomplishments. If you are unsure of the action verbs that are appropriate to use, consider using a resume writing service. They know the verbs that employers are looking for.
