Resume Tips
From e-resume.net®

  • Jargon.  You are going to have to use some career-related jargon, but make sure your resume is still easy to understand, especially if you have a technical resume. If you can't put your accomplishments into words without giving the average person a headache, call a resume company. They can help you write in layman's terms without taking away its meaning.


  • As silly as it sounds, you have to remember what you wrote on your resume. If you mentioned that you had a certain result from a project, expect prospective employers to ask you details. Be ready to talk about anything you put on your resume.


  • 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.
