Resume Tips 
  • Sales and Sales Management resumes should be achievement oriented (i.e. % of quota, ranking relative to branch, region, number of new accounts opened, revenue in dollars, awards, etc.)
  • Pre and Post Sales Technical Support resumes should be responsibility and function oriented with a clear outline of technical skills (i.e. Hardware, Operating Systems, Applications, Languages, Databases, Development Tools, etc.)
  • All resumes should have as many action verbs as possible (i.e. achieved, supervised, coordinated, etc.)
  • Sales resumes should be no more than a two pages long.
  • Technical support resumes should be no more than three pages long.
  • Place your name, address, work and home telephone numbers at the top of a resume. Your most recent position should be first and education should be placed last.
  • Avoid a job objective section in a resume. This section often tends to urt your chances for a face to face interview rather than help. Often these sections have conflicting goals (i.e. seeking a sales or sales management position...or a sales position leading to a...etc.)
  • # Avoid a job summary section or a summary of achievements in a resume. The information provided often does not correlate to a specific job or dates. Achievement and responsibilities should be associated with specific positions in the body of the resume.
  • Resumes should always be written in the third person (i.e. Managed seven Systems Analysts... Originally hired as... Promoted to...) The word "I" should never appear in a resume.
  • If your dates of employment are not contiguous, use a month and year format (i.e. 5/90 to 7/94). This will stress your stability. If your dates of employment are contiguous, think about using a year format (1990 to 1994). Lastly, your most recent position should always read the date you were hired to "Present" (i.e. 5/90 to Present).
