Resume Tips
From e-resume.net®

  • Resume Cover Letter. Send your Resume cover letter and resume to a specific person. The correct name and spelling of their name is imperative, even if you have to call your potential employer to get it. Be sure to end your cover letter by requesting an interview and/or stating your intention to call in a week or two.



  • Be sure to include dates in your resume. Employers want to know if you have job - hopped or if you have stayed at one job for a number of years. You should start with your most recent job and follow down chronologically.


  • Most professionals will need a one to two page resume. People with fewer than 10 years of experience should stick to one page. Executive resumes tend to default to a lengthier format, often stretching to two or three pages.
