A Boutique Staffing Agency

Your resume sells you, your experience, your interests, and your skills to the client; it is their first impression of you.

Tips:

• Proofread your resume and have others review it for grammer, spelling, and wording
• Include your current contact information with a professional email address
• Include explanations for gaps in your work history such as school
• Do not embellish your experience, education or skills – honesty is the best policy
• If you are a recent college graduate, include your education first and then work experience
• Limit your resume to one page
• Use power words to create short, results-oriented descriptions of your work responsibilities
