3、s them.

Personal Attributes. Dont forget
6、 to describe your personality and attitude. Just because most rsum searches are computerized doesnt mean that companies dont search for human qualities. A tracking system can identify behavioral traits - dependability, responsibility, and a high energy level - as easily as it can technical skills. “
7、Be enthusiastic,“ says Yana Parker, author of Damn Good Resume Guide. “Let your passion show. Dont use tired language.“ 4. Personal Home Pages should be ALL Business.

15、e. Most employers ignore attachments. They worry about viruses, and they dont want to waste time with files that their computers cant translate. 11. Always Include a Subject Line. If youre responding to a specific posting, put the reference number in the subject line. If youre submitting a rsum to a

Its a theater marquee.“ 12. Ask the Wizard. These days, most word-processing programs come with good rsum templates and with “wizards“ - step-by-step guides that walk you through the templates.
