Want A Better Resume? Add Your Accomplishments
Many of the resumes that I have read make the mistake of only showing the duties of a job. But the problem is that just because you do a job, it does not mean you do it well.
Want A Powerful Resume? Here Are Seven Things To Do
Writing a resume does not have to be hard. Sometimes, job seekers over complicate it. I hear people worry about white space, font type or size or even length. At the end of the day, what is most important is your message --- what the hiring needs to know about you. If you do not get that right, then all the fancy graphs and charts you put on a resume will mean nothing.
Show your results: How to get your resume noticed
Recruiters and hiring managers still see many resumes that are just a list of job responsibilities. That only tells what the company required from you. It gives no indication of how well you did those duties and the impact of what you were able to do on the business.
Which font is best for a resume?
With the advent of the personal computer and the proliferation of font types, job seekers have to not only worry about the content of their resume but also how it looks...what “vibe” do they want to give to the reader. Are they a serious type or more creative? A traditionalist or more modern? With so many font choices, it can be confusing.
Applicant Tracking System and Keywords: What You Need to Know

Because of this, many ATS purveyors have added screening features that individual companies have enabled in their hiring process.

KISS (Keep It Simple, Stupid) Principle With Resumes
As a recruiter, I have read a lot of resumes. So many job seekers have resumes with issues. You can do better by knowing some of the basics.
