Keep it all on one page
The idea of a resume is to offer you an interview, so you should only include your best stuff. Some people write everything they can think of onto their resume. But before doing this, think of the fact that the hiring manager has to go through a lot of resumes and each resume get maximum ten second look.
If you want yourself to get figured out for an interview then keep your resume short and precise. For example: If you have a long job history, list about fifteen years of job history only and not more than that because employer might think you’re too expensive.
Emphasize less on personal interest
Personal interests are not included in the resume to make an in if you were a state or national athlete, put it down because it shows focus and achievement. You should include only those personal interests who make you stand out as an achiever. Don’t include interest that show you as a mediocre only or you have those for sake of interest only.
Don’t be designers
Don’t try to be a designer while preparing a resume unless you are. Recognize your strength and keep design element to minimum. Try to keep your resume simple and eye catching, just because you know how to use Photoshop doesn’t mean you will use as an expert. Stay away from over-used templates because that will not help you to stand out and it makes you look completely generic.
