Your Resume

Resume Pointers

a variation on "How To Make A First Impression"

Don't cram information onto one page; leave lots of white space.
Don't go beyond two pages.
Most hiring managers want employment dates; many won't consider the resume without them.
Include your home phone, possibly your office number, and a personal e-mail address (your company e-mail is probably not private).
When you e-mail a resume, make sure you send it in a format the recipient's computer can read, usually Word (.doc format).
Don't use all of Word's bells and whistles. If your resume can't be "cut and pasted" easily, it might be left for "later".
Use white or off-white paper and a 12 point typeface. No dark gray or colors, or weird fonts.
Include a brief statement of accomplishments with each job description.
Proofread! Don't rely on your spell-checker: it doesn't know grammar or word selection.
Remember: a resume does less to generate a job offer than your contacts: Keep networking!

Let me know your background, goals and needs, so I can keep you informed about openings you'll find attractive. All information will be treated with discretion.

Click here or on the e-mail address below and let me know:

Your name
Salary history (at least your current comp)
Geographic preferences (e.g. East, West, urban, rural)
What you are looking for, what motivates you to change

Then attach your resume, using Word's .doc format (or .rtf, rich text format),

or Paste it to the message area.

Keep me posted, by phone or e-mail, on any changes in your situation, and I will let you know about situations that could prove to be good career opportunities.

Note: Clients require applicants located in North America and
