Résumé Checklist

Before you send your résumé off to the printer or the hiring manager, put it through
this checklist:

* The career objective is in line with the position that the employer posted.

* The body of the résumé supports my career objective.

* The résumé clearly answers the most important questions the employer
will ask.

* The most important elements of my work experience appear on the top half
of the first page.

* My résumé and especially my accomplishments begin with action verbs and
are quantified when appropriate.

* The résumé uses present tense when talking about my current job and past
tense when referring to past jobs.

* It’s easy to read, to the point, with lots of white space.

* Someone else has proofread the résumé for grammar and typos.

* The résumé invites further interest.

* It projects an image I feel good about.

* It uses key words appropriate for the industry or the potential employer.

* It uses bold type, indentation, underlining, and bullets.

Good Luck, Coach T
