I found these resume writing tips recently, really good information for someone looking for a new job. Most Job seekers do not realize how important your resume is to a successful job search.

You may be the best person for the job, but the fact is, you’ll never even get an interview in the first place, unless your resume is good. You should tailor your resume to highlight the qualifications, work experience and any education that you’ve had that best represents the type of work you are applying for. You should also include any other work experience that you’ve had, as well as any accomplishments that you have made in your field.

There are also quite a few things that recruiters hate to see on resumes as well. Many people think that recruiters really don’t go all the way through a resume, but they really do. Recruiters have certain pet peeves when it comes to reading a resume. Below are a list of the things that recruiters hate to see.

Fancy fonts and colors are not eye catching in the manner that you likely wanted it to be. Needlessly adding objectives and introductions on your resume bores recruiters.Avoid writing your resume as a narrative or in the first or third person. Pictures and/or graphics on a resume is distracting to a recruiter. Lying or putting misleading information on your resume is a major no-no. There are always ways for a recruiter to check up on you and many do, so don’t lie. Getting caught in a lie on a resume just says that you can’t be trusted.
