Resumes
Your resume is your most important calling
card in your job search. It should include the following
information:
- Contact information.
Include phone, mail and e-mail contact information.
Your voicemail message should be professional. A message
that is too casual can create a negative impression.

You can choose to list or not list your career objective.
If your objective doesn't match the recruiter's needs,
you may miss out on a golden opportunity. However, a
clearly stated career objective can help your recruiter
find your ideal career match.
- Summary statement.
Your summary should be brief.
First, include your title and years of experience.
Second, list pertinent skills.
Third, discuss your character traits or work style.

who approaches every project in a detailed, analytical
