There may be hundreds of resumes sitting on an employer's desk. The challenge is to make your resume stand out positively. Make sure everything on your resume supports your objective. Place the most relevant information first. Get to the point quickly.
Employers pass over lengthy statements.
Keep it neat and organized. Do not include names and addresses of references on your resume. List this information on another sheet of paper and bring it with you to interviews. Include the name, title, business address, phone number, fax, and E-mail address of each person. After you are satisfied with your first typed draft, ask several individuals who are familiar with the type of employment you are seeking to look it over.
