How to Write a Better Resume

You may be the best person for the job, but the fact is, you'll never even get an interview in the first place, unless your resume is good.

You should tailor your resume to highlight the qualifications, work experience and any education that you've had that best represents the type of work you are applying for. You should also include any other work experience that you've had, as well as any accomplishments that you have made in your field.

There are many things that must not be included on your resume. Things that recruiters really don't want to see. In fact if you make any of these mistakes, you probably won't get any further. Don't think that an interviewer won't read through your resume, because they usually do!

* Summaries that are hard to follow and understand are annoying to recruiters. Keep your summary easy and brief.

* Adding unnecessary information on a resume like your hobbies is completely useless. You should save that section to describe any accomplishments that you have made in your field.

* Dating the information in your work history in the wrong order makes your resume harder to follow. (Work history should be listed with most current jobs at the top)

* Pictures and/or graphics on a resume is distracting to a recruiter. Things like that will likely get your resume tossed out without a glance.

* Lying or putting misleading information on your resume is a major no-no. There are always ways for a recruiter to check up on you and many do, so don't lie. Getting caught in a lie on a resume just says that you can't be trusted.
