Resume Tips

Here is a public service from SoulSlam.

I've had to wade through a few resumes lately to fill an open slot in my group at my company (both shall remain nameless). And while I am doing so, I came up with some tips to help you in your job searches. In no particular order

1. Don't state your proficient using the internet. Based on the job your applying for, I can assume that. Unless you really need to get that line-item in.
2. Don't state you have been continuously asked for help in "crafting" e-mail blasts because of your writing skills.
3. Keep any mention of membership in LARP groups or other nebbish endeavors a secret. That is until you get the job and show up at the office in a chain-mail vest.
4. Spellcheck is pretty much a standard now. At least on a resume. And don't forget the grammar check.
5. I never believe anybody who states they were the top salesman of the _______.
6. Saying you are familiar with social-networking sites is a red flag for slacker.


Your welcome.
