Resume Tips

Grammar. So, you weren't an English major? That is not an excuse for grammatical errors. Your resume should be flawless. Proofread it several times, checking for words that spell check. Keep it in the same tense throughout. Do not write in first person, using pronouns such as you, me, I, he, she, we…Your resume is a formal, professional document! If you cannot be 100 percent sure that it is grammatically correct, solicit the help of a resume company. They will have several sets of professional trained eyes to look for errors. Better to be safe than sorry!
Just like college students, professionals and executives, IT professionals or engineers need their own type of resume. The important thing to remember is to use industry-specific words, but make sure someone outside of your distinct position can understand what you do at work. Scientific and technical careers can be hard to describe because of all of the jargon, but help is available.
Verbs. Pretty much every sentence should begin with a verb, but not just any verbs. You need to use power verbs. Power verbs are results-oriented and lend themselves to positive description of accomplishments. If you are unsure of the action verbs that are appropriate to use, consider using a resume writing service. They know the verbs that employers are looking for.
