Three Rules for Resume Writing
December 13, 2008 by Joyce Richman
What are three rules that every good resume writer should follow?
On average, a company representative takes about twenty seconds to review your resume. Therefore, keep it brief and on point, saying as much as you can in as few words as possible.
- Outline the essentials without elaboration. Be succinct!
- Start with your current position and go back in time. If you did it more than 15 years ago, summarize it. Include three accomplishments for each key position you’ve held.
- Don’t use industry jargon. Write your resume so that someone in Human Resources understands it as well as someone in your specialty.
