Make your resume free of tiny errors like the comma after your email and unclosed parenthesis. Make a PDF and/or HTML version because not everyone has word installed. If you want a dream job, you better damn well have a dream resume.
And make it way shorter. Assume that people are going to read 3 random sentences on the first page and that's it. Make sure you'd be comfortable with them reading only 3 random sentences on the first page and coming away with a positive impression.
- troygoode 15y agoagreed. I'd go further on the resume though: get it up somewhere on the web. either on your own personal website, or on something like LinkedIn. without a solid recommendation from someone there is very little incentive for me to cross the barrier of downloading and opening a file, as opposed to just popping your resume up in a new tab. you want to keep those kind of barriers as low as possible (which is why simonsarris recommends making your resume much shorter).
- pknerd 15y agoIf possible, can you guys recommend some samples?
- pknerd 15y agoThanks, will make necessary changes.
