Treat your résumé with the respect it deserves. A single mistake or oversight can cost you interview opportunities.
- Give yourself plenty of time. Don't put off preparing your résumé until the last second
and then try to write it in one sitting.
- Learn from good models. You can find sample résumés online at college websites and on job boards.
- Don't get frustrated by the conflicting advice you'll read about résumés. Résumés are as much art as science, and there is more than one way to be successful with them. Choose the approach that makes the most sense to you and is compatible with what you know about business communication principles and practices.
Your resume keywords should include specific job requirements, including your skills, competencies, relevant credentials, and previous positions and employers. Essentially, keywords should be words that, at a glance, will show the hiring manager that you are a good fit for the job.May 3, 2018
