 Hot Tips for Winning Resume

• You should prioritize your accomplishments and skills on your resume according to impressiveness, uniqueness and relevance to the prospective position. Don't bury the skill or job experience that would be most likely to impress a recruiter. Resumes are scanned quickly, so a recruiter may move on to the next resume if you lead your resume with an irrelevant skill.



• Do not over write your resume with out of place big words and endless text; leave spaces and lines between each section to make for easy reading.



• Stay focused in your field. Summarize your qualifications and experience related to your field, do not list odd jobs, training's and courses.



• Be sure to proofread your resume before submitting it to a prospective employer. Use your word processing software's grammar and spell-checker to find any obvious mistakes. Ask a friend or colleague look over your resume and give you their opinion on its structure or style.



• Try to use specific key words in your resume related to your field when posting it online. This allows employers and recruiters to easily find you when searching for your talents, skills, expertise and education.



• Avoid mentioning hobbies and interests when writing your resume. Hobbies and interests often aren't relevant to the position you're applying for. Concentrate on describing your key experience and skills.
