Resume Tips
Your professional summary should give your success factors, samples of achievements throughout your career. The more features of your success and achievements applicable to the role you want, the better. Include more achievements that show how well you did the job, over job descriptions. There is no rule of thumb on length of resume, but “less is more” does generally apply to resumes.
- Contact information. Include phone, city, state, and email contact information. Make sure your voicemail message/email address is professionally acceptable.
