Target Your Dream Job on ASA Career Advantage

Here are 3 resume tips to land you an interview: 

  1. Focus. Your resume must target a specific job function and include only your most relevant work experience. If your job search focuses on multiple job types you need multiple resumes.
     
  2. Ask "So What?". Your resume needs to show results. Just listing tasks you've performed doesn't answer "So what?". Make sure employers understand the results you've achieved. 
     
  3. Be Concise. Your resume won't get you a job offer. But if you highlight your accomplishments and leave the reader wanting to learn more about you, it will get you an interview. Be succinct and make every word count. Too much detail can turn off recruiters. 
Proofread your resume and upload it to ASA Career Advantage so that employers can find and contact you about your next job.
