Resume Tips from the Experts

Your resume is the best tool you have to help your recruiter open the door at the employer of your dreams. Have you heard that a resume may only get a 20 second "lookover" before going in the proverbial "yes pile" or "no pile"? We have put together our best advice to help you write a "yes" resume that will get noticed and get results.   Start by brainstorming about your experience and education. You want your resume to reflect your preformance, your strengths, and your skills, so be sure you know what you want to highlight in your resume before you start writing.   Employers like details! Use numbers and facts when possible. Don’t just say that you are good at a certain task. Always give specifics on how you’ve increased the bottom line, saved your company money or streamlined a process.    Proofread, spell check and proofread again!  Have someone read over your resume for you.  This effort will help you know that your resume is readable and will help you catch any mistakes you may have missed.  Remember that spell check doesn't catch everything.  Here are more tips from the Godshall Staffing team ! A great resume gives potential employers a glimpse at your professional experience and a sense of what skills you can bring to their company. Make sure that your resume represents you well, but be careful not to go overboard by including personal or controversial information. These examples provide a few Do's and Don't's.
