A resume is an advertisement; your personal billboard developed to market your skills and abilities. There is no "right" way to write a resume but there are guidelines to follow when constructing one:
- Format the resume for easy reading; it's digested in 10-20 seconds
- Clearly demonstrate that your strengths and experience match the job requirements
- Specifically tailor your resume for each job
- Remember it's a summary, not a historical document
- Avoid templates or resume wizards; they take up too much space and constrict your editing abilities
