A Resume Below are the typical areas of a resume and my priceless secrets for dealing with them. These tips will help crush the competition, get you in the door and put you behind a desk making 50 big ones, plus bonus. Use the name to your advantage. Spice it up a little bit. Steve Smith goes nowhere fast.
Nicknames also help.
Forget your real address. Saying you're from the Bronx suggests you're tough as nails. If they do, they'll probably just catch your roommate somewhere in the middle of his second six-pack. My advice is never put your phone number on a resume unless you want to try some interesting 900 number which might wake up a recruiter or two. Forget the ambition statement.
