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.
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.
