Resume Tips

  .  Tailor your resume to the position you are seeking
  .  You do not have to list ALL you have done
     .  List information that applies to the position/organization you are courting
     .  Describe any job where you acquired important skills or experience
  .  Problem, Action, Result – what did you do to solve a problem? (include the result)
     .  List quantifiable accomplishments and results using numbers
     .  Ex. increased retention 46%; reduced call offs 125%; cut expenses in half
  .  Employers look for someone who has produced results
     .  This is the best predictor of someone who will produce for them
  .  Your resume gets you the interview; the interview gets you the job
  .  Chunk assignments and jobs to avoid the “hopper” label
     .  Ex. 2006-2008: Director of Nursing—Riley Medical Center; Good Sheppard Home
  .  Address gaps – include something valuable in your work history
     .  Ex. 2008-2010 Full-time parent plus community service
  .  Keep it Simple—the more you write, the less anyone will read
  .  Sell with words—make it pop with succinctness and powerful word choice
  .  It is not about the companies or the jobs, it is about you and what you have done
