How to Create A perfect Resume Letter

The hardest part of writing a resume can be getting started. One method is to set a clear goal or career objective, and make sure your resume reflects that objective. You don't necessarily have to state your objective on your resume, but write a summary statement to show how the particular job matches your career goals.
When writing your resume, remember to:
  • Be truthful. State your abilities accurately.
  • Target your audience. Highlight skills and activities relevant to the job.
  • Keep it brief. Limit your resume to one or two pages, and use fewer words for scan ability.
  • Write and rewrite. Plan to write several versions of your resume before it feels right.
  • Be professional. Print your resume on high-grade paper using a quality printer.
  • Be accurate. Proofread your resume (and have a friend do the same) for any errors.
  • Follow up. Call or send a letter to the employer to restate your interest in the position.
