Fortune 1000 employer and recruiter partners tell us that the
polished resume remains the entry ticket to getting an interview.
Here
are there 5 top resume tips:
1) Send a cover letter and your resume. The cover letter should
explain why you are a good fit for the position.
2) Use appropriate and professional email addresses. Never use
addresses that are in poor taste such as hotchick@aol.com.
3) Be a qualified applicant. If you are over or under qualified
for
the position, beware of burning a bridge with a potential recruiter or
employer.
4) Keep your resume factual not fluffy. Overstated accomplishments are
a turn-off.
5) Attachments are acceptable, but with conditions. If you send an
attachment, make sure it is a Microsoft Word‘ document or send a plain
text version.
In a recent poll, employers and recruiters told us how they like to
receive resumes. More than 50% responded that they prefer
to view
resumes in an online resume bank, while only 11% said that they want to
receive a resume via postal mail and only 7% prefer to have link to an
online resume.
