Some Important points to Remember
- List your qualifications in order of relevance, from most to least.
Only list your degree and educational qualifications first if they
are truly relevant to the job for which you are applying. If you've
already done what you want to do in a new job, by all means, list
it first, even if it wasn't your most recent job. Abandon any strict
adherence to a chronological ordering of your experience.
- Quantify your experience wherever possible. Cite numerical figures, such
as monetary budgets/funds saved, time periods/efficiency improved,
lines of code written/debugged, numbers of machines administered/fixed,
etc. which demonstrate progress or accomplishments due directly to
your work.
- Begin sentences with action verbs. Portray yourself as someone who is
active, uses their brain, and gets things done. Stick with the past
tense, even for descriptions of currently held positions, to avoid
confusion.
