• Include your employment-related accomplishments
• Target your qualifications and occupational goals
• Clearly communicate your purpose and value to employers

Don'ts in Resume

• Use abbreviations (exceptions include middle initial and directions such as N for North)
• Use "I" to refer to yourself. Avoid any mention of salary expectations or wage history
• Print on a dot matrix printer
• Use fancy typeset, binders, or exotic paper
• Send a photograph of yourself
• Make statements that you cannot prove
• Include personal information (age, height, weight, family status, picture, or religious or political affiliation unless you are applying for a job with one of these organizations)
• Change the tense of verbs or use the passive voice. It is not necessary to use the title "Resume"
• Include references on the resume. Make a separate list of References
• Include hobbies or social interests unless they contribute to your objective
• Staple or fold your resume.
• Always send a cover letter with your resume
• Take your audience into consideration while crafting each cover letter
• Avoid addressing cover letters to businesses and departments whenever possible. Instead address your letters to a specific person by name and title. Even if responding to a job that states "no phone calls please," consider calling to politely ask the name of the person who is hiring for that position. You may not always be able to identify the name of a specific person. In this case, send the letter to the title of the recipient (Production Manager, Maintenance Supervisor, Office Manager, Human Resources, or Search Committee). Do not address your letter "To Whom It May Concern."
• Mention your skills, education, special training, and work experience that qualify you for the job
• Always have a follow-up plan when you send an employer a resume and cover letter. One way to follow-up is to call a few days after they receive your information and set up an informational interview. At the end of your cover letter, tell the employer how you plan to follow-up so they know when to expect to hear from you again
• Structure the letter to reflect your individuality, but avoid appearing too familiar, overbearing, humorous, or cute. Keep sentences short and to the point
• Keep it brief, usually no more than one page with three to five paragraphs
• Use the same paper stock for both your resume and cover letter
• Ask someone to proofread your letter to check content, grammar, and spelling
• Sign the letter in blue ink. It implies the letter is original and may get more attention. The only other ink color to use is black. Never use any other color on the cover letter
