Quick Resume Checklist

Resumes and Interviewing Done Well
Written By Robyn Sotolov

Before you send out yet ANOTHER resume, run it through this quick checklist:

1) Does it highlight your achievements and IMPACT, not just responsibilities?
2) Is it tailored to the job description using the same keywords from the job description?
3) Is it easy to scan with clear formatting and white space?

These small changes can make the difference between being overlooked and landing an interview!
