Resume Tips

A few tips to help you along in your next job search:

(1) Keep your bullets in the "present" tense wherever possible
(2) Include accomplishments in bold as a final bullet in a work category you are particularly proud of (i.e. "Raised $1,000,000" or "Responsible for 100 employees"
(3) Leave your educational background at the end of the resume and keep it short and sweet.
(4) Any skills you have in technology can bump you up in the long stack of resumes. Include MS Word, Excel, database software, web design tools, etc.
(5) If an employer asks for references, CALL THEM FIRST. The last thing you want is for one of your references to be caught off guard (or worse, have a poor opinion of you).
