Tips for Resume
On the previous post, I've told that there are no guarantee for us to get hired by the government. So, why don't spent our little time to read on these do and don't tips in creating our resume...

Job Resume Do's...
Do always follow a uniform font and format.
Do always have dates of employment listed.
Do keep clean alignment - all bullets, dates, tables, etc. in tab lines.
Do be consistent. For example, if you use the date format 11/98-12/00 on one job, don't use 1998-2000 on another.
Do make sure that you list your employment history in chronological order, beginning with the most recent or current job at the top down to oldest at the bottom.
Do only put your education at the top of your resume if you have a degree; if you've only completed high school, put it at the bottom.
Do list skills used/learned in bulleted, partial sentence structure, under each position. This shows a timeline of what skills were acquired when and where.
Do only list the last ten years of experience, unless your current position or a significant part of your experience dates back further.
Do have a "Summary of Qualifications" outlining what your specialties are.
Do leave off all church affiliations and personal information (age, sex, etc.)
Do use your objective to sell a company on why they should interview you, instead of what you are looking for (such as growing company offering career advancement).
Do list consecutive years of temporary work together as one job, instead of listing each assignment separately, which can make you appear unstable. List the name of the staffing firm you worked for and the type of positions you worked instead.

Job Resume Don'ts...
Don't list personal information such as marital status, the number of children you have, or your birth date.
Don't list the year you graduated from high school.
Don't use paper with designs on it. It doesn't fax well.
Don't stretch the length of your resume to more than two pages.
Don't use more than two fonts.
Don't refer to yourself in third person (he, she, and it).
