Your resume is like your representative - it tells a prospective employer all about you. Writing a good resume will make the best possible first impression on your behalf. Your resume should show the prospective employer clearly, why their job and your skills are a perfect match. Here are a few things to keep in mind while writing a good resume:

Clear and Concise: Be specific and use short sentences or phrases. Employers usually scan through resumes and only read those that make the best impressions. Be correct: Make sure there are no typos or spelling mistakes. Proofread your resume ten times before even thinking of sending it. If possible, have someone else read it for you. Use design to your advantage: The layout of your resume will determine its value, and yours. Use highlighting, bold face and bullets to attract attention to key achievements. Choose a font that is easy to read. Make use of the white space on the paper to draw the eye where you want.

• Be relevant: Don't list information that has nothing to do with the position or your qualifications for it.
• Create an Internet-ready version: When you apply for a job online, the formatting in your resume may not translate properly and may render it difficult to read. Prepare a text-only version with no formatting for such purposes.
