Advice
You've only got a few seconds to make a first impression--
be sure your resume is right.
Candidates have to be aware that recruiters receive literally hundreds upon
hundreds of resumes per week.

Because resumes are quickly skimmed during the first pass, it is crucial
your resume gets right to work selling your credentials.

Job hunters downplay their resume as a piece of paper that usually doesn't
work. Maybe you're one of those who believes, 'My resume isn't perfect, but
I'll explain myself in the interview.' But there's the catch: You may not get the
interview for no other reason than your resume, which often gives employers
their first impression of your professional standards and talents."

You apply for a job that seems absolutely perfect for you. Plenty of other
people think the job sounds great too. A few days later, the employer is
staring at a pile of several hundred resumes. Several hundred? you ask.
Isn't that an inflated number? Not really. A job offer often attracts between
100 and 1000 resumes these days, so you are facing a great deal of
competition.

Don't present a poorly prepared resume that's sloppy, difficult to read, or
otherwise complicates the matter.
If you do, it probably will be immediately rejected.
The recruiter is likely to move quickly to the next resume without even a
seconds thought.

One page, short and to the point works best. Be a skillful editor, deleting the
portions which are not relevant or least helpful to your securing a particular
position. Emphasize your most recent experience, the last 5 to 7 years.

No vague generalities. Say exactly what you mean, using the smallest
number of words to make the point.

Believe it or not, you can rummage through a lot of resumes before you find
one without errors. Every recruiter sees his share of bloopers, spelling
mistakes and grammatical slip-ups. Obviously, this won't do much to help
your cause.
“It's pretty much common sense: If you're not going to take the time to do that
for your resume, you're probably not going to do it every day at work.”
Make your resume the one that is totally flawless. Not only should you review
your resume several times, but you should also have someone with good
language skills do so as well.
