Jump Into Your Job Search: the resume

The purpose of the résumé is to get an interview. It is like an advertisement: it should attract attention, create interest, describe accomplishments, and invite a person to contact you. The average amount of time an employer takes to initially scan a résumé is 30 seconds. It is very important that it be brief, one page if possible and two pages at the most. The résumé tells a potential employer what you can do and have done in the past, who you are and what you know. It also states what kind of work you seek. The key is that the résumé must provide enough information for the employer to evaluate your qualifications and become interested in inviting you for an interview.
