#1  Your Resume must be accurate and factual.  Be honest.

​

Don't try to hide employment gaps or be someone you are not.

 

Think of your resume as your calling card.  It helps get you the interview. 

 

Your resume we send to prospective employers will be the first thing they see that is the product of your work.  your resume represents you and your work history; make it look good.

 

Make it easy to read and make it interesting – short and to the point. 

No longer than two (2) pages.

​

• Use the same Font throughout.

• The font size should be 11 pt. or 12 pt.

​

Include your biggest accomplishment. 

Make sure to include $, %, and time frames (number of days).

​

• Did you save the company money ($)?.

• Did you reduce scrap or increase production (%)?

• Did you reduce cycle times (# of hours or days)?

​

Make sure your resume includes keyword and industry specific Key Process Indicators (KPI).

​

Consider the following when formulating your resume:

Do’s

• Prepare an Executive Summary that concisely highlights your career and clearly states what you can do for the company.

• Emphasize your job and performance skills in your resume. Prepare skill-benefit statements that you can use in the interview to illustrate each of these skills.

• Show your willingness on your resume to adapt to a variety of changes and demands in the work environment.

• Ensure all information is accurate. Our clients routinely check background information and in the end, it will save time, embarrassment and disqualification from the interview process.

Don’ts

• Don't include your photo, social security number, passport number, drivers license number, marital status, or nationality.

• Don't include your home address (only use the city and state)

• Don’t specify your political or religious beliefs. Whether you are Republican or Democrat, Christian, Jewish or Confucianism has nothing to do with your qualifications for the job.

• Don’t write about your plans for learning new skills. The employer is more interested in what you can do now. Employers are looking to hire the candidate with exactly the skills set and experience necessary to impact the company in the most positive way.

• References: Don’t submit references.  We will ask for those later in the recruitment process.
