Resume Tips
From e-resume.net®

  • N is for Numbers. Although you shouldn't use numbers to talk about your salary, you should use numbers to define your accomplishments. Numbers quantify your achievements and let employers know how efficiently you can work. A good example is: Successfully exceeded fundraising goals by 62 percent, bringing in $1.2 million in revenue.


  • Be sure to include dates in your resume. Employers want to know if you have job - hopped or if you have stayed at one job for a number of years. You should start with your most recent job and follow down chronologically.


  • F is for Formatting. The best rule of thumb when formatting your resume is to keep it simple. Use a professional font and avoid using text boxes and inserts. They might look nice on paper, but they will not translate onto job boards and they often do not work well as attachments.
