job interview.

These easy to 
follow steps are 
suggestions 
and tips to guide 
you in writing 
your resume
and interviewing 
for the
job you want.

*   Use white paper, black ink and an easy to read font. Avoid bright colored paper. Use a laser 
     printer if possible. 
*   Make sure you have an objective and that it relates to the position you are responding to. 
    (If you are looking for different jobs, have more than one resume targeting the position you are
    responding to) 
*   Start with your most recent job and work backwards. 
*   Be specific of your job functions and identify any major accomplishments. Remember to 
     keep your descriptions short and to the point. 
*   Try not to put any personal information on your resume. 
*   Salary can be included but most of the time your salary requirements should be in your 
      cover letter. 
*   Do not lie on your resume. Most companies will check your background. 
*   Keep your resume to one page if possible. Two pages should be the maximum! 
*   Make sure you do not have any spelling, punctuation, typos or grammatical mistakes. 

Have someone else proofread your resume.
