Some Thoughts About Resumes

Tough economic times makes for even tougher hiring standards. this is a fact that has become all too obvious in recent weeks. While companies are definitely making hiring decisions, they are eliminating resumes from their pool faster than ever.

Let's say a company needs an Equipment Validation Engineer, it is simply not enough to mention it in the job title. You have to show proof that you have really done the job and can show related experience. Another example deals with skills summaries. If you list Oracle and SQL in your summary, make sure you back that up by listing those skills under every job where you used them!

Following the above mentioned suggestions will keep your resume in the 'in box' and hopefully get you called in for an interview. Good luck!
