I’ve recently turned a friends resume from a .doc file to a web based resume. Thinking at that poing, that I should review mine and update it if need be. After forgetting about it for a week now, this stumbled across my Internet browsing path today.
I’ve read crap about how to build a resume and it’s all been the same. This actually gives a better insight of what to do and not do.
Some friends have told me that you should paste every buzzword you can think of in a resume. I’ve never understood how that makes you different from those who’ve done the same.
The only bad part about this article is that I can’t just cut & paste into my resume but, it just might make me seem more professional than I really am.
