Top 10 Ways to Rock Your Resumé

10. Start with a Big List, and Then Shorten It

Make a plain text document of all the possible information you might include, and then pare it down from there. You're less likely to forget anything important, and it will also come in handy if you ever need to tweak it for different job opportunities.

9. Know What Not to Include

When it comes time to narrow down your giant list of accomplishments, you'll want to make sure you're including the most important stuff. You definitely want to get rid of not-so-notable accomplishments, and anything outdated can probably go too. There are also a lot of phrases that are just wasting ink on the page, and you should get rid of those too.

8. Avoid Overused Phrases

Six words to drop from your resume.

Bland phrases to avoid.

7. Quantify Your Accomplishments

Instead of filling your resumé with the aforementioned canned phrases, pick something quantifiable.

6. Find the Keywords Your Employer is Looking for and Use Them

HR folks are scanning resumé's for relevant keywords, like names of computer programs you know. Making sure these are somewhere on your resumé increase its chances of getting seen and actually read, not just glossed over.

5. Strategically Tweak Your Dates of Employment

Employers aren't usually too fond of job-hoppers, so if you've had a few recent jobs instead of a steady one, you might want to try and pull attention away from that fact.

4. Try a Visual Slideshow or Video Resumé

While many employers will prefer the simple, single-page list of accomplishments, lots of others would prefer to see your personality and accomplishments more in-depth through a slideshow or video resumé.

3. Don't Use it Until the End of the Interview Process

If you wait to hand in your resumé until the end, you'll be forced to show yourself off in other ways, and keep your potential employers thinking about something else beyond the dull checklist of accomplishments.

2. Use Multiple Resumés for Different Potential Jobs

If you're applying for multiple jobs, even if they're in the same field, you may not want to use the same resumé for each job. Tailor your resumé to each specific job you apply for, and send a unique resumé out for each one.

1. Proofread from the Bottom Up

There are a lot of ways to make sure you proofread it well (like printing it out), but one of the more interesting ways we've seen is to read it from the bottom up.
