Building a solid Resume!!!!

Everyone knows the first thing an Interviewer ask you for when going to a new job is your resume. Your resume is definitely something that could make or break your chances of getting the job. SO you ALWAYS have to put your best foot forward and show the interviewer, you are top notch, much better than the rest of the applicants interviewing for the same job. So I found 10 tips to help give your resume the edge:

Tip 1 - Use Titles or Headings That Match The Jobs You Want.

Tip 2 - Use Design That Grabs Attention.

Tip 3 - Create Content That Sells.

Tip 4 - Quantify and Use Power Words.

Tip 5 - Analyze Ads and Job Descriptions to Identify Key Words.

Tip 6 - Identify and Solve Employer's Hidden Needs.

Tip 7 - Sell the Benefits of Your Skills.

Tip 8 - Create An Image That Matches The Salary You Want.

Tip 9 - Prioritize the Content of Your Resume.

Tip 10 - Tweak and Target Your Resumes and Cover Letters.

You can visit this website for examples and explainations for each of the tips I listed.
