As a recruiter with 6 years of experience, I am amazed at the number of resumes that
come to me in an incorrect format. Approximately 75% of them are in a format that is
unsuitable for "selling" their background to future employers.

If you are in the job market, make sure that you research what companies are
seeking on your resume. It is important that you don't just list your duties, but you list
your achievements, since this is what most companies are interested in. It is
important that you answer all of the questions that a company might have about the
companies that you have worked for, your role within the organization and a track
record of results in your career. Don't think that you can sell yourself when you get the
interview, because chances are, you won't get the interview if the resume doesn't "sell"
you to the company.

Overlapping dates of part-time/full-time jobs just lead to confusion on a resume. I
recommend a chronological format that flows from date to date. Most companies
aren't interested in what you did part-time, unless it fills in a gap on your resume.
If you have done any volunteering or are a member of any community organizations,
participate in coaching, I recommend adding this to the bottom of your resume under
the appropriate sections.

Last but not least, make sure that you provide all of your contact information at the top
to include an email address and cell phone number.
