If there's one rule about resumes, it's that there is no one rule about resumes.
Resumes could be read by a human, or indexed by a machine. Depending on the position, you may (or may not) need to provide relevant details. If you want a job where I work, a one page resume is unlikely to make the cut, Cheers Ken -----Original Message----- From: Joe Fox [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, 24 January 2008 12:33 AM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: RE: Tech Resume Joseph: Resumes, even in a tech field, should be limited to 1 page in this day and age. Bullet points take up valuable page real estate, where you could be listing KSA's (Knowledge, Skills(both technical and transferrable), and Attributes). And for the love of <Deity> don't put "References will be provided upon request." Of course a potential employer will request references prior to an interview, no need to waste important space on the paper. One more resume killer - templates. Don't use them. Spend some time on crafting your resume. Potential employers can tell the difference. They have a tendency to pass by the template resumes. Also, if you are anything like me, and already in a career, and know what direction it is going in, there is no need for a Career Objective, that can be replaced with a Summary of Qualifications. If you'd like, I can send a copy of my resume (which in my current Portfolio and Professional Procedures class netted me a grade of a 100 and 5 interviews thus far) to you offline.
