It’s time to start getting your resume together for the big event. It’s a good idea to keep your resume updated at all times. Before you give it to prospective employers have someone take a look at it to make sure you didn’t miss anything. Sometimes writers make the worst editors, so get into the habit of having someone edit your resume.
Follow these simple steps and you are sure to have a winning resume:
1. Keep it simple and short give a brief history of you in no more than 2 pages. (1 is even better)
2. Include content information a phone number and email address. You can get free email at AOL, Yahoo and Google.
3. Use a practical font that is easy to read Times New Roman, Tahoma or Arial.
