If you've been in the professional workforce at any level for any amount of time, you've likely needed a resume. Most people I've known slapped something together that they thought looked and sounded good. Many of them spent some time without jobs.

Slapping something together isn't the way to go. But that doesn't mean you have to hire somebody to write your resume (I happen to think that's wise, though). All you have to do is follow a few simple rules.

1. Use Microsoft Word. If you attach anything else to an email, the recruiter you send it to is likely to ignore it.
2. Use numbers whenever you can. Always quantify your experience. Numbers stand out, because many people don't use them. Include dollars you added to the bottom line (cost saved, revue added), quantified operational improvements you made (such as months of reduced time to market), number of people you supervised, and so on.
3. Don't use an objective. Use a hard-hitting, targeted summary of your qualifications instead (it contains your objective, actually). Depend on your cover letter to sell you for the job you're applying for.
4. Use "power words". That means verbs. Verbs say you did something. Absence of verbs suggest you

A well-executed banner arranged in an attractive and interesting way, whether in a trade show exhibit, museum display, stage setting or retail store, is a sure way to drive the message home to the target audience.Exhibit builders look for two criteria while sourcing banne

      Stacking The Deck In Your Favor
      Many people do not bother to look at their own magnificence and without that view it is not likely that we will recognize the need for strategies to maximize our strengths. When we buy an outfit for a special affair, we automatically try to coordinate each piece so that they enhance one another and amplify our sense of “looking good” from head to toe.  A man will make sure his socks and tie are in sync while a woma

         Tune into What Customers Really Want
         Customer relationship marketing is powerful in theory, but troubled in practice. We need to take time to figure out how and why we are undermining our own best efforts.Perhaps we’re overlooking the fundamental elements of a good customer relationship program. With the means to connect with customers easily, maybe we’re rushing to cash in on the potential rewards, while forgetting the essentials of all relati

      7. Use "power words". That means verbs. Verbs say you did something. Absence of verbs suggest you didn't. Use lots of verbs, in the past tense.
      8. Focus on what you can do for THEM. Believe it or not, your resume isn't about you at all. It's about what you can do for the company who might hire you.
      9. Don't get personal. Leave off your weight, height, personal interests, hobbies...all of it. This is a document about what difference you can make in a company. If they ask you about a hobby in the interview, then you give them more details. By the way, part of not being too personal is referring to yourself with "I", "my", "me", etc. Just stick to past-tense verbs. A reader knows he's reading about the person who's name's at the top of the page. Don't beat him over the head with it.
      10. Don't say you can provide references on request. This is a wasted statement. Of COURSE you can provide references. Keep an up-to-date list at all times, and be prepared to hand it to any interviewer, or give it over the phone if they call you. But save it until somebody asks.
      11. Filter your experience. If you've been in the workforce less t
