JOB SEARCH TIPS

The major purpose of the resume is to get a job interview. Unlike the application, the resume is designed by you to highlight your strongest points. You can also send it to a broader range of potential employers, and thus expand your job search. A well-designed resume does a number of things:

• Paints a positive and factual picture of you;
• Sets a positive tone for the interview;
• Guides the interviewer in what to ask;
• Influences others who approve the hiring decision.
