Q: What are some key things that you can do to make your resume stand out
\nwhen applying for jobs via the internet?<\/p>\n

\n<\/div>\n
A: Here are a few suggestions that I have found have worked for me and others.<\/div>\n
\n<\/div>\n
THE BASICS<\/div>\n
\n<\/div>\n
1. Bulleted lists of responsibilities under each job are a must. Long, drawn out paragraphs rarely catch the readers eye.<\/div>\n
\n<\/div>\n
2. Font size of 12 (10 if you really need to get everything onto 1 page<\/div>\n
\n<\/div>\n
3. No fancy fonts or italics<\/div>\n
\n<\/div>\n
4. Proper verb tenses. If you are in a current job, make sure your verbs are action verbs.<\/div>\n
(ex. Performing vs, performed)<\/div>\n
\n<\/div>\n
THE BELLS AND WHISTLES<\/div>\n
\n<\/div>\n
1. Have a section indicating the specific courses you took at each school you attended. Tailor this to each job you apply for.<\/div>\n
\n<\/div>\n
2. List a section of activities and clubs; showing a well-rounded background other than just work is important.<\/div>\n
\n<\/div>\n
To see a format that has worked for me since 1993, you can view a PDF of my resume at the link below.<\/div>\n
