Use a chronological format. Hiring authorities are more concerned about who you worked for than about a vague skill set or "bag of tricks."

Be truthful! Present your best side, but don't overstate your experience or try to rewrite history.

Be sure it is scanner friendly. Ask us to show you how.

Be specific in your accomplishments. Use action words; avoid doublespeak and confusing jargon! Use short sentences.

Let your Dowd Group, Inc. consultant help you tailor your resume to the individual opening. Generic resumes land generic jobs.

Keep it short. One page is ideal, a second is OK, but a third is deadly.
