Resume Preparation Do's and Don'ts

Here are some keys to successfully preparing and writing a resume. Follow these simple rules and you should achieve success in this important phase of job-hunting.

• Do consider a bulleted style to make your resume as reader-friendly as possible.

• Don’t get overwrought about the old “one-page resume rule.” It’s good to keep your resume to one page, if possible, but if you have a lot of experience, two pages may be more appropriate. If your resume spills beyond one page, but you have less than a half a page of material for the second page, it may be best to condense to one page.
