Crafting the Perfect Resume

Some people pay top dollar in their pursuit of the perfect resume; but you don't have to spend a small fortune to create an interview-attracting piece. Just follow a few simple guidelines.

1. Know what job you want: Sounds almost ridiculously obvious, but you'd be surprised how many "catch all" resumes are being floated out there. State the job you want, for whom you want to do it, where you want to do it and what your goals are when you get it.

2. Keep it simple: Don't present a laundry list of your wonderful talents and abilities. Showcase your main strengths and one or two outstanding skills or abilities. List your education, training, and any relevant awards as succinctly as possible. The less you have to emphasize, the more believable your good points can become.

3. Proofread: Should we even have to mention this? Apparently so, judging by the number of complaints we've heard from employers about grammar and spelling errors. Check over your resume, and have others check it over too.

One more suggestion: don't list for your reasons for leaving a job (especially a termination or firing) on your resume. Leave that to the meeting itself -- and if you're fortunate, the subject may not come up at all.
