    Preparing Your Resume

    Resumes

    Very few people are good at the art of Resume Development. The thought of having to commit a life history to a single sheet of paper is enough to cause night sweats and ulcers for many of us. It's an anxiety producing experience.

    When asked how he dealt with the continual ambiguities of Quantum Physics, a recent Nobel Prize winner said, "You never get comfortable with it, you just get used to it." And so it is with writing a resume.

    Worse yet, much of the advice you'll get is contradictory, at best. The world of Resumes and Resume evaluation is changing rapidly. For instance, it's safe to assume that a resume sent to a firm with over 500 employees will be read and digested by a computer.

    Resume Preparation Tips

    Take a look at Recruit Media. They provide a very clear description of their "CV" requirements, cleverly disguised as advice for preparing a resume. When a recruiter or employer provides thes sorts of "hints", you can be sure that your resume will be evaluated, in part, by how well you can follow instructions. Be prepared to modify your credentials package to conform with the desires of your targets.
