Put the most important information first When describing your experiences or
skills, list the most important ones first.
Resume Tips
“no kidding” information There are many people that like to include
statements like “Available for interview” or “References available upon request
Use bullet points No employer will have the time (or
patience) to read long paragraphs of text.
Resume Tips
Avoid negativity
Do not include information that might sound negative in the eyes of the employer
Don’t include irrelevant information Irrelevant information such as
political affiliation, religion and sexual preference will not help you
