OK. Here is the feedback on your resume and or cover letter. First, a couple of general comments. Both documents should have a heading. Both headings on the two documents should match identically each other in font size, type, and format. I recommend that it be centered on both pages with three lines: The name in large, bold type; the second line with all the address information; and the third line with all the contact information. Under that I recommend you insert a line to make this area stand out. 2. The resume should not be more than one page. Longer ones will very seldom be even looked at. If it is longer, remove any bulleted points that are not appropriate to the job position applied for. 3. The cover letter should also be one page, but one full page. The company info should also be only three lines, single spaced. This is your sales document. If it is not long enough the employer will think that you do not have much too offer and if it is too long they will think that you are egotistical. To increase its size you can often transfer your skills and qualifications from the resume to the cover letter. 4. Both the resume and cover letter should also contain many key words that pertain to the position. In most cases, these can be found online using the search word “keywords” for the position. For instance, if you applying for a management position, type in the browser search area: Keywords, management position. Many sites will open up with key words for that position. This is what recruiters look for on both documents. Most of these you can use for any prior positions you held with other companies. 5. The normal order on a resume is: objective if you have one; prior work experiences; education. 6. The font type and size should also be the same for both documents. Each should have a 1″ margin on both sides and on the top and bottom. Color is good, but do not over-do it. A border is also acceptable providing it is not too gaudy. 7. If you use an objective it must be two-sided—why you want the position, what you can offer the company, and what the company can do for you long term. If you cannot do all of this in the objective , leave it out as it will only detract from your appeal. 8. Your work experience section should contain previous employers (if the position you held is useful to the position applied for) with the address information and contact person if available. Also the dates of employment. They should be listed most recent to oldest. Nothing over ten years needs to be included. Under that list any bulleted duties/responsibilities that are useful to the position applied for. 9. Education should also be listed newest to oldest and should also include the address information and either the date you graduated or the date you expect to graduate. The degree should be included only if it is appropriate to the position. In other words, a bachelors degree in nursing is not important if you are applying for a position in marketing. 10. THIS IS MOST IMPORTANT!! Do not just say anywhere that you are reliable, hard-working, committed or anything else like this without providing proof. In other words, if you say you are reliable include any perfect attendance awards you have won in the past or provide some other proof of your reliability. The same with everything else. Listing your skills, such as Microsoft Office proficient, etc. is ok but only important if it is useful to the position.
