* No more than one page * Clearly state the objective (which the position you want today) * Customize your work experience for the position you're seeking (one line for non-applicable stuff, specific descriptions for applicable stuff. - remember, the resume should open the door, you can talk to everything else once you're in front of the hiring manager) Reminder: A CV is not your memoirs - it's meant to be a teaser for a hiring manager who's looking to hire for a specific position and/or solve a specific problem with staffing. That why it should be short and VERY EASY TO READ. Here's the test: 1.) Can I glance at it for 5 seconds and see what it is you want? 2.) If I spend 10 seconds, can I see why you think you're qualified for the position I"m offering? 3.) If I spend 30 seconds, can I get a bit more in depth on your qualifications? TIMES UP! You've got 30 seconds to make your case via resume IMO. I will rarely read a 2 pager and usually don't even give them 5 seconds; you wouldn't either. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Upgrade to Adobe ColdFusion MX7 Experience Flex 2 & MX7 integration & create powerful cross-platform RIAs http:http://ad.doubleclick.net/clk;56760587;14748456;a?http://www.adobe.com/products/coldfusion/flex2/?sdid=LVNU Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Community/message.cfm/messageid:225030 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Community/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=11502.10531.5
