So you've found
a position that you think is perfect for you. Before you submit your
application through one of our online forms, here are a few tips to
ensure that we receive your resume, but more importantly, that it gets
read.
- Make sure to follow directions and be
careful to enter the correct data in the correct field.
- Include a specific objective. An objective
on your resume allows the reader a clear succinct understanding of the
kind of job you are looking for.
- Tailor your application information to the
position. Don't simply cut and paste text from your generic resume.
- Make sure to submit your resume in a
simple format, which means developing a text version of your resume that
is legible and free of any formatting. This means letting go of the
fancy bullets and creative fonts because most of it will get lost in
translation .
- Last but not least, take the time to
present your qualifications, skills, and experience in the most positive
light possible. Think of your resume as a marketing tool for a very
important product - you!
