Resume Tips
From e-resume.net®

  • Verbs. Pretty much every sentence should begin with a verb, but not just any verbs. You need to use power verbs. Power verbs are results-oriented and lend themselves to positive description of accomplishments. If you are unsure of the action verbs that are appropriate to use, consider using a resume writing service. They know the verbs that employers are looking for.


  • N is for Numbers. Although you shouldn't use numbers to talk about your salary, you should use numbers to define your accomplishments. Numbers quantify your achievements and let employers know how efficiently you can work. A good example is: Successfully exceeded fundraising goals by 62 percent, bringing in $1.2 million in revenue.


  • Inaccuracies. While you should watch for inaccuracies in the body of your resume, you should also make sure that all of your contact information is correct. If you transpose a digit in your phone number or do not update an address, an employer is not going to waste his or her time tracking you down. They will simply move on to the next if they cannot reach you because you gave them wrong contact information.
