Does your resume rise to the Bar? IT WILL! We’ll help your resume PAY OFF.
If you missed any of my tweets earlier this week and all of last week about how Attorney’s Counsel can help make your resume PAY OFF here they are:
PAY OFF: PRESENTATION-Your resume must be easy to read! Think margins, spacing, title of doc you send & paper, bc some ppl still want hrdcpy
PAY OFF: ACCOMPLISHMENTS-Quantify! What Problems did you face? Actions did you take? Results did you obtain? Any great credentials to add?
PAY OFF: YOU-You’re unique. You have same title/job descript. as guy next to you but you are NOT him. What did YOU do? Who r u on Google?
PAY OFF: ORGANIZATION-PLEASE Chronological order! Most relevant accomplishment first w/in each job entry. Tell your story, sell yourself.
PAY OFF: FORMAT-Contact info=professional at all times, most typos made here, Experience & Education=before Experience if u r a recent grad
PAY OFF: FONT-Be CONSISTENT. Use only one. Don’t abuse: bold, italics or underlining. All headings=same font. All titles=same. All same=same
Why is everything abbreviated and not complete sentences? Why is everyone almost exactly 140 characters? Not sure about Twitter? What is a tweet? tweeb? tweetup? Feel free to ask how social media can WORK FOR YOU!
