This is actually great information! I did a phone interview recently and a phone interview was so much easier than a face to face. I was able to be more relaxed and I think show more enthusiasm on the phone, than I would have in a face to face.

Hi Laurie,

My son is graduating college soon and told me about another great book that he read about job hunting called "Getting from College to Career" by Lindsey Pollak. He said it was full of useful tips and that the author really speaks to Gen Y'ers.

It sounds like a nice companion book to Karsh's and I'll be sure to tell my son about his book -- and your blog! Thanks for the recommendation.

Cheers,
Linda

Cheers

I really like #1, accomplishments should be as specific as possible with clear, measured results. Also bolding keywords such as; achieved, led, managed, etc really help set the resume apart.

Excellent Tips! I feel such tips take the folks a long way in their successful job search. Job search is more of a sales & marketing work rather than pure technical skills and so such articles develop such skills to a greater extent...Kudos for such a wonderful article!!!

Thanks for stopping by! You are right, it is a matter of opinion. Only a suggestion.

Number 8 is wrong... A lot of these "resume experts" will suggest limiting your resume to a single page, but the truth is, that's just a matter of opinion. Their opinion. If it takes more than one page to list your experiences or achievements, go ahead and put them in. You're bound to lose more for omitting them than for spanning multiple pages.
