Resume Writing Tips:

1. Heading: Include your full name and avoid nicknames, if possible. List your home and cell phone numbers, but leave your work phone number off. For your email, make sure that it (a) sounds professional, and (b) is not your current employer's email address (e.g. name@merrill-lynch.com).

2. Experience: Always include 4 "data" items for each employer: (1) Name of the company, (2) Location where you work, not the company HQ, (3) Dates of employment in years only rather than months/years, and (4) Position title- the rule of thumb on a title is that you can change it if the one you have does not represent what you do. If you are a Sales Representative but were given a title such as Customer Churn Specialist, use Sales Rep. Otherwise, use the title given to you by the company.

3. Education: If you have a degree, include it. If you don't have a degree but took a great deal of courses, include the number you have completed ("96 Hours Completed Towards BA Degree"). If you don't have a degree but took some or a few courses, use a phrase without mentioning the number of hours ("General Coursework Completed, University of ..."). If you have training courses, seminars, workshops, etc., then list these, particularly if you don't have a degree- you want to demonstrate your professional development. You can also include Professional Affiliations/Memberships and Computer Skills in this section.

4. Other: Remember: (1) Spell check doesn't catch Manger (common mistake for Manager); (2) Red isn't a recommended paper color, (3) Don't put Team Player (everybody uses this); (4) More than 6 bullets in a row is too much; and (5) Don't go back beyond 1980 regarding employment inclusion on the resume- even pre-1985/1990 may not be necessary in some cases.

"Would it be better for me to just write this myself?"

In most instances, no. Ask yourself this:

•	"Do I struggle with the process of writing even if I have something to copy in front of me, like a resume template or resume format?"
•	"Can I easily come up with the unique words and phrases to describe my skills and accomplishments?"
•	"Am I objective enough to know what to include and what not to include about myself?"

So, what is the best solution for you? Hiring a professional, certified resume writer. Just as well-informed businesses and individuals hire CPAs to do their taxes, and successful corporations employ the best advertising agencies to promote their products, a serious job seeker like yourself should invest in the services of a resume writing specialist for preparing, writing, and designing the best possible resume and cover letter.

"Just wanted to let you know that I got a job with Liberty Mutual as a Claims Case Manager. They offered me $2,000 more than I was making with XXX. The job is in Dallas and they are paying me to move up there. Thanks for all your help!"

- Aaron E.

"I have to tell you, not only did I think the revamp you did to my resume was awesome, but so did a potential employer. I sent my resume to a company and had a response within 24 hours, and an interview set up!! I certainly did not have this response with my previous resume. Thank you so very much."

- Melinda R.

"A good friend of mine (the same one who suggested I get a professional resume done) passed my name along to a friend of his who is a regional director for a big insurance company. When we began the call the first thing she said was, "Before we start I need to tell you something. I see thousands of resumes each year, & want you to know that yours is one of the best & most concise that I have ever seen." Of course the rest of the interview went well also. Thanks. Guess I received good advice & my money was well spent."

- Richard L.

"Prior to using your service, I had posted my resume to over 40 online positions in the last 3 weeks with ZERO responses. I sent my new resume to 3 positions this morning and in less than 1 hour, I have had 2 call-backs requesting interviews. I can't tell you how impressed I am with your service."
