There are several important things that you need to keep in mind about how to make a resume that doesn't get thrown away immediately.
These are simple things but employers or the people who decide who gets hired or not notice these things more than anyone else... so before you try to hand out your resume make sure that you you know how to make a resume that doesn't go directly to the trash bin!
As simple as it is absolutely make sure that your resume is in proper order and that you have proper punctuation and spelling (unlike any of my blog posts!).
Resumes taht have a lot of grammatical errors and typos drives recruiters absolutely crazy... and seeing how I typed "taht" instead of "that" and is showing as a miss-spelled word with red underlining is a great point about how to make a resume that won't get thrown away too:
Just because it doesn't show up as a grammatical, spelling or other error in your word processor doesn't mean that everything is okie-dokie and fine to be sent off to a prospective employer....
Check and recheck everything!... Because not everything that is an error will show up in your word processing program.
Now why is this important... quite simply because potential employers interpret it as the applicant not having an attention to detail and even not caring about the quality of their work... and those aren't things that you want your potential employer to think about you!
If you want to know a simple secret about how to make a resume that doesn't get thrown away without constantly busting your brain over editing your resume, have other people take a look at your resume to help you edit it.
