Life Tips: Updating Your Resume
Just about everybody knows someone who is looking for a job, and a resume is an important part of the job search. Here are some pages with advice for your next resume update.
6 Words That Make Your Resume Suck is a good set of advice for anybody writing a resume. In the past, I have used many of these. Luckily, the site also has suggestions for replacement words and phrases.
The 7 Deadly Sins of Resume Design is mostly geared toward people who would do crazy crap with their resumes, but one sin that hit me was a font: "Times New Roman." Oops. I've probably used it for resumes before. Time to go font shopping....
How to Write a Resume That Will Land an Interview is a good list of tips that starts with remembering that the idea of a resume is to get you an interview. One other tip that struck me: Omit your mailing address.
I am not planning a job hunt, but I should still re-write my resume now while I have these tips and ideas in mind.
