Keep resume to one page. Change the objective with every position you apply for. You may also need to alter the content or format to best support different objectives. Catch the reader s eye. Most readers will only spend 20-30 seconds on the initial scan of your resume.
Readers prefer bullets, bold print and indentions to guide their eyes quickly to main points.
You may also use all capital letters, italics or underlining to highlight key areas, but do not mix font styles. Accentuate the positive. Highlight accomplishments, not just duties. Show how you contributed to or impacted the organization. Quantify your statements by using numbers, statistics and percentages.
