As we have discussed in our previous posts, writing an effective resume is necessary to get noticed by the recruiters and hiring managers. Do your best and take time to review what you have written. Imagine yourself being the hiring manager. Here are more tips and and simple guidelines for a resume that will matter and will help you land a job.
Effective Titles:

Typos and Grammatical Errors
Your resume needs to be grammatically perfect. If it isn't, employers will read between the lines and draw not-so-flattering conclusions about you. It will send a wrong signal to the hiring manager and will somehow be the end of your application.
Use Bullet Points
Use Bullet Points
Employers are busy and they do not have the time (or patience) to read long paragraphs of text. Make sure to use bullet points and short sentences to describe your experiences, educational background and professional objectives
Analyze Job Ads
You will find plenty of useful information on job advertisements. Analyze not only the ad that you will be applying for, but also those from companies on the same industry or offering similar positions. You should be able to see what profile they are looking for and how the information should be presented.
Action Verbs
Avoid using phrases like "responsible for." Instead, use action verbs: "Resolved user concerns as part of an IT help desk serving 3,000 students and staff."
