Besides setting all margins to 1", the most important criteria for setting up a professional resume besides relevant text, is "scanability." Here are some helpful tips: 1. Place just below your identification header [your hame, address, phone, email address] any Conditional Warning Statement such as "Confidential Resume,"Do Not Contact Current Employer," etc. 2. Always fill-in an Objectives category [just below the Conditional Warning Statement] and make sure that he Objective will contribute to the profitability of your future employer; 3. Select a mono-type font such as Helvetica, Arial, Courier or Times Roman; do not select any cursive handwriting styles which cannot scanned; 4. Keep font sizes within a range of 10 to 12 pts.; 5. Avoid styling text with a justified alignment, keep it flushed left; 6. Instead of using tabs to set up blocked text entries, generate a table and use the column and row settings accordingly; 7. Do not place an i.d. picture anywhere on the resume, this is a major taboo due to discrimination issues; 8. Do not place any graphic text [saved as .gifs] onto the resume since it may be overlooked during the scanning phase; 9. List at the very end of the resume your interests which should include travel experiences, language skills, social interactions such as golf, team sports, tennis, etc. In conclusion, the above helpful hints were designed to allow ease of scanning of your resume into PDF which can then be text captured for seach purposes by your potential employer. If the original resume was created in Word, WordPerfect or Mac Appleworks, it can be Saved As a PDF file which then can be saved as an email attachment. Otherwise, you can simply use a scanner and scan a hard copy of the resume and then save as a PDF file. Failure to conform the resume to appropriate fonts and styles as outlined above will result in rejection of the resume simply due to the inability of the scanning device to properly index relevant resume entries. Good luck!

One thing that I see is the most common mistake… Using an “objective statement”. They are old school and just take up precious resume space.

Rule of thumb: subjective comments (hard worker, team player, ect) belong on the cover letter. Only objective comments (managed 150 employees, annual budget of $50k, ect) should be on the resume.

Get Noticed Resumes is my company, e-mail me, and I would be happy to review the resume for free.

Good Luck

I would have provided you with some awesome advice and references, but your foul language has caused me to change my mind. It's a shame. Ask your brother to get online and hopefully he will be more polite and professional than you are.

That's easy: have an awesome number of references, all

of which you can honestly say are "Actually true... to my

truly awesome pride..." Make sure they all relate in, (a very

awesome way), to the job you're trying to get.

If you can do that... well, then...wow! That would be just

truly, awesome!

Good luck!
