First, a few questions...

NEWS FLASH!The economy stinks.

Unemployment is extremely high nationally. Job openings sometimes draw hundreds, even thousands of applicants...

You're going to have to fight for a job. This ain't 1999

(or even 2006).

You must go above and beyond if you want to impress.

You've gotta get as close to perfect as you possibly can.

A lot of bad resume advice persists today, even among "professionals."

SO LISTEN UP!

BE CONCISE.

OMIT IRRELEVANT PERSONAL CRAP.

DON'T RELY ON YOUR GPA TO

GET YOU A JOB.

(No one really cares anymore!)

OMIT THE "OBJECTIVE."

INCLUDE YOUR REFERENCES.

THE FIRST TIME.

SPELL EVERYTHING RIGHT.YES, EVERYTHING.

PLUG YOUR SOCIAL MEDIA & TECHNOLOGY PROWESS

BE SPECIFIC ABOUT WHAT YOU'VE DONE

(& WHAT YOU CAN DO).

Don't just say you were a "member" of some group...

Give us details!

SELL YOUR BENEFITS.(DON'T TELL ME YOU'RE

HERE TO LEARN.)

MAKE BUSINESS CARDS & BUY NICE FOLDERS.

SHOW SOME THOUGHT LEADERSHIP.
