Tips from Monday, March
23, 2009
Today’s Small Business tips will show you how to write the
best possible resume.
- Your
resume has to stand out! Make it look pretty, not the standard Word
template all those other job posters will use.
- Use
numbers in describing previous positions. Percentages, numbers,
accomplishments = easier and more real than big words.
- Use
good spelling, grammar and punctuation on your resume or be overlooked
instantly! Using the wrong words say a lot about you.
- Write
a new objective per job application. No two jobs are alike! Use words from
the job ad. Same goes for your 1 pg cover letter.
Daily Overview: Your resume needs to stand out from everyone
else! Make it look good in every possible way. Personalize!
Small businesses are what this nation was built from and are
what will save our economy. You’ll likely end up working for one of them. So
when you get this new job, show them what we offer
here at America’s
Best Companies and they’ll be sure to thank you!
I post small business tips on my Twitter account each day, Monday

Customization of resume is an art that does not come easily to every jobseeker.
Then there is a science of customization which converts a plain text resume into
8 graphs, online / automatically / instantly.
If the main goal of a resume is to capture the attention of the recruiters and it's
secondary goal is to motivate the recruiters to read it long enough to interpret the
jobseeker's story, then you will appreciate what www.CustomizeResume.com can
do for your career.
To impress the recruiters, what you need is a graphical / visual / analytical presentation.
