| Resume
Preparation... |
| |
| Ø |

that the reader will know your skills, experience level, or
education. |
| Ø |
State what you offer a
company that would make you a valuable asset. |
| Ø |
Provide information as to
problems solved and accomplishments in as quantitative manner as
possible (i.e., increased production by 15% while reducing costs by
10%). |
| Ø |
Make the resume easy to
read (dates, position, major responsibilities, and accomplishments
in chronological order). |
| Ø |
If there are frequent job
changes without progression, then explain if there are mitigating
circumstances (i.e., two consecutive startup companies that went
bankrupt). |
| Ø |
Remember that the purpose
of the resume is to obtain an interview; therefore, the resume
should contain enough information to entice the employer to
interview you. |

- dress, business casual, etc.) |

Arrive approximately 5 minutes prior to your appointment, but to be safe be in the area at least 30 to 45 minutes prior
so you can relax at
a nearby coffee shop and review your resume history and notes for the interview. |
