Resume Tips
From e-resume.net®

  • Resume Cover Letter. Send your Resume cover letter and resume to a specific person. The correct name and spelling of their name is imperative, even if you have to call your potential employer to get it. Be sure to end your cover letter by requesting an interview and/or stating your intention to call in a week or two.



  • Read It. Read it, take a break and read it again. After you write your resume, go over it several times. It is a good idea to walk away from the document, sleep on it and then make more revisions in the morning. Remember, your resume is your personal testament that you are the right person for the job. Spelling or grammatical errors show a future employer that you are willing to send in sloppy work. Not so much of a writer? Enlist a grammar-savvy friend who can find mistakes that you might not catch. You will be surprised at what someone else might find.


  • Honesty. As tempting as it may be, do not lie in your resume. Someone will find out, whether through referencing or in an interview slip-up. Just don't lie and feel good knowing that you got the job in an honest manner.
