Thanks for sending in all of your resumes over the past week in preparation for Job Search Boot Camp! I’ve loved looking at them. After reviewing all the resumes, I wanted to share 5 big picture ways to avoid your resume getting thrown in the trash.
These are just the first step of having a polished rock star status resume. Without these, you won’t make it far.
5 Very Basic Things You Need to do with your resume
- Make it pretty.
- Put your references on a second page by themselves.
- Finish your sentences. Tell me more. Show quantifiable value that you added.
- Keep it to 1 page!
- Cut cheesy interests and bullshit about crappy jobs.
Shout Outs!
- Most Likely to Call for an Interview: Jen Deweerd from Ontario, Canada
- Overall favorite resume: Katie Garton, Syracuse, New York
