MARKETING YOURSELF

Your resume is a marketing tool that outlines your skills and experience so that an employer can see, at a glance, how you can contribute to the employer's workplace.  People are always confused about resumes.  They don't know what to write in a resume or are not sure what information should be/should not be included.  Writing a great resume does not necessarily mean you should follow the rules you hear from others.  It doesn't have to be just one page in length (nor should it be more than two pages in length) or follow a specific resume format.  One size does NOT fit all.  Every resume is a one-of-a-kind marketing communication.  It should be appropriate to your situation and best reflect your job history and target position.

These resume guidelines and tips can assist you in putting together that important marketing tool designed to sell your strengths, accomplishments, education and skills to potential employers.
