Resume Tips

First of all a good resume MUST have a good presentation, it MUST look nice, be clean and objective.

Start by stating your name, address, phone, email (the "how can you be reached kind of information").

Then, if you wish, put the "what are you looking for", or what is called: job or career objective, as "a career as a sales manager" for example. This is not necessary.

Another must on your resume is a part where you state all your abilities and skills (ok, not ALL of them, but all that are work related). Examples are: good communication skills, good computer skills, etc.

The third and maybe the MOST important part is the one where you put your previous work experience. Start with the most recent one and then go on...

VERY IMPORTANT: employers here do not like to employ those that have had as many jobs as shirts during their life times, so if needed... shrink it!

Put the most important ones, remember not to leave any gaps, unless you have a GOOD excuse for it.

Last, but not least, your hobbies, specially the ones that could possibly help you get a job like volunteering in a company, etc.

Remember to keep it concise, one or two pages is enough!
