Ferrari Mailing List: Re: NFC: Who's really good at critiquing resumes?

[Misc (misc]

When I look at resumes for positions we have, here are the items that pop to
the top:

1)  Succinct purpose statement at the top
2)  Entire resume limited to 2 pages
3)  No more than 7-8 sentences per job unless something is REALLY crucial
4)  Last 10 years of experience with dates, after that just list
company/title/responsibility
5)  Interesting, but standard layout/type fonts, etc - funky fonts are for
the video game industry....
6)  Short cover letter showing you have a grasp of the english language
7)  Entire thing can be read and comprehended in 5min max

my .02, good luck Tom, we are all rooting for you!

I have a couple versions of my resume, and I do need to update it to include
my latest job at the Tulsa World.  But, the help I need now from you is to
find someone or a few people who have (or have recently had) day to day
experience looking at and/or evaluating resumes.
What should I include?  How much detail should I provide? Do I need to give
dates (which age me) or do I just need to provide the jobs I've had in order
without dating them (and me.)?
Anyone want to play guinea pig/mentor/helpful lister?
:)

Thanks very much again.
Kind regards,
Tom Reynolds
