－Is the pertinent personal data--name, address, and personal telephone number correct? (Later, when the resume is typed or printed, you will want to make sure that this personal data is on every page.)
－Is your business number omitted unless it is absolutely necessary and safe to include it?
Objectives
－Does your objective briefly state your goals without getting too specific and ruling you out of consideration for many jobs?
－If you gave a detailed objective (up to--but no more than--two sentences), does it focus on what you can bring to the employer, rather than what you want from the employer?
－Is your stated objective supported by the facts and accomplishments stated in the rest of your resume?
Summary
－If you choose to include a summary, is it no more than two or three sentences long?
－Does it include at least one substantial accomplishment that supports your employment goals?
－Does it include reference to some of your personality or behavioral traits that are critical to success in your field?
Body of Resume
－Is your most relevant and qualifying work experience prioritized throughout the resume to lend strength to your application
－Have you avoided wasting space with employer names and addresses
－Have you been suitably discreet with the name of your current employer?
－Have you omitted any reference to reasons for leaving a particular job?
－Have you removed all references to past, current or desired salaries?
－Have you removed references to your date of availability?
Education
－Is education placed in the appropriate section? (It should be at the beginning of the resume if you have little work experience; at the end if you are established in your field and your practical experience now outweighs your degree.)
－Is your highest educational attainment shown first?
－Have you included professional courses that support your candidacy?
Chronology
－If you've done a chronological resume, is your work history stated in reverse chronological order, with the most recent employment coming at the head of the resume?
－Within this reverse chronology, does each company history start with the details of your most senior position?
－Have you avoided listing irrelevant responsibilities or job titles?
－Does your resume emphasize the contributions, achievements, and problems you have successfully solved during your career?
－Is this content made prominent by underlining, bolding, italicizing, etc.?
－Does the body copy include at least one, and possibly two or three, laudatory third-party endorsement of your work?
－Have you avoided poor focus by eliminating all extraneous information? (This category includes anything that doesn't relate to your job objective, such as captaining the tiddlywinks team in the kindergarten.)
－Have you included any volunteer or community service activities that can lend strength to your candidacy?
－Is the whole thing long enough to whet the reader's appetitefor more details, yet short enough not to satisfy that hunger?
－Have you left out lists of references (if, of course, there is nothing more valuable to fill up the space)?
－Have you avoided treating your reader list a fool by highlighting the obvious (i.e., heading your resume, "RESUME")?
Writing Style
－Have you substituted short words for long words? And one word where previously there were two?
－Is your average sentence ten to twenty words? Have you made sure that any sentence of more than twenty words is shortened or broken into two sentences?
－Have you kept every paragraph under five lines, with many paragraphs considerably shorter?
－Do your sentences begin, wherever possible, with powerful action verbs and phrases?
－If you are in a technical field, have you weeded out as much of the jargon as possible.更多精彩文章及讨论，请光临枫下论坛 rolia.net
