Resume Tips!

Can't say these tips enough:
  • Add dates of employment and do not leave them off your resume even if there are gaps in your employment
  • Use bullets to describe your work responsibilities, task/duties
  • Use present tense for current positions and past tense for prior positions
  • Keep the resume format simple - do not add pictures, personal information or try to add color. Many employers have recruitment systems that "parce"out the information so the plainer the better
  • Do not use abbreviations/acronyms - spell them out the first time and then place the acronyms in other sections of your resume if needed
Hope these tips help you out! Some may seem obvious, but I see these common mistakes daily so make sure you don't fall into any of these traps.
