7.  Most recent jobs………….Do not list every single job, you have ever held. Even though, it might be acceptable to have a two-page résumé. Focus on the recent ones, preferably from the last ten years

8. Targeting the audience…..Mailing your résumé to every company that advertises is not a good idea. If you don’t even slightly qualify for the advertised post, better not apply.  Choose those ads which suits your criteria and for which you are qualified. No point wasting your time and money, if you do not qualify.

9. No other documents to be attached…. while sending your résumé, do not attach copies of your testimonials, your certificates, letters of recommendation and awards, unless you have been asked to provide them. These documents are needed only when you are called for an interview.

10. Personal Information…………..Personal information are not included in a résumé , employers are least interested in knowing about your personal life. Leave out information like your age, marital status, race, religion, and hobbies.

You are now ready to submit your résumé.
