Resume Facts
An employer will spend less than a minute reviewing your resume. The content must be clear, concise, and targeted to the type of job and organization for which you are applying.
- The purpose of your resume is to secure an interview.
- Your resume may be the only chance you get to make an impression, so make it a good one. Research the company/position so you can put forth your best effort.
- Customize your resume for each position you are applying. You may want to highlight certain aspects of your experience for one employer and something else for another.
- If the applicant pool is large, employers try to find ways to reduce the number of candidates. Misspelled words and poor layout may cause your resume to be eliminated from consideration.
