Very important – here is a “Tips” sheet for you to review as you create your own resume.
To see samples you may download here
Here are 7 key resume “TIPS”
- Fonts: Times New Roman, Arial or Verdana. (Boring yes, but easy to read.)
- Type Size: 11’or 12’ Type.
- White Space: .8 – 1” all around the document with white space between categories.
- Two Pages Maximum – Third page possible as Addendum for Patents or Publications.
- Never Use the Phrase “References Available Upon Request.”
- If No Longer At the Company – Everything Must Be in Past Tense.
- Add a Career Profile at the top of the resume – this is an opportunity to tell people what your strengths and skills are, put them in the Career Profile.
