You should not feel slighted if you do not hear from us right away, as you may be interviewed at a later date. Your resume must be professional, readable, informative, concise and grammatically correct. Focus on your accomplishments. Keep it simple, include dates. Be honest about your schooling and degrees.
Patience is important.
No one wants to wait for interviews or return telephone calls. Unfortunately, waiting may be necessary. Knowing that up front, that you need to be patient will help you through the process. You should always know where your resume is going. If you are dealing with a contingency-based recruiter, you should be sure you know where they are sending your resume.
