Having a good resume is the most important part of getting an interview. Even if you are the most qualified candidate you won’t be considered if you cannot clearly articulate your skills and abilities to a prospective employer.

Here are some tips we think you will find useful to help you to create a resume that will get you in front of a prospective employer so that you can land that perfect job for you!

1. When defining skills use action words, such as “implemented”, “managed”, “initiated”, “defined”, “supported”.
2. Identify skills and where you have successfully used them. Define how the impact your skills had on the company you worked for and what the benefits were.
3. Quantify your achievements. How many dollars you saved the company. How many people you managed. The size of the budget you managed etc.
4. Be sure to proofread your resume carefully for spelling and grammatical errors.
5. Don't use the first person singular ("I" or "me").

• Emphasize your experience and skills that are relevant to the position you are looking for.
• Highlight your most important responsibilities, even if they weren't your primary job responsibilities.
• List the most relevant and important points first; don't make the reader wade through half your resume before coming across your most impressive skills.
• Gear your resume towards the position you are looking for.
• Your resume should be clear and concise.
• Include your dates of employment.

Be truthful as to your skills and experience; you can expect to have both assessed aside from your resume claims.
