1. Headings and Name should not be too small or too big it should be at least font size 14 to 16; address 11 or 12
2. Font size should not be smaller than 11 and no larger than 12 except for the headings and your Name.
3. Make sure to have an Objective and or a Title Heading do not make the recruiter or hiring manager guess what position you are applying for.
4. Make a Profile statement or provide a career overview
5. Make sure that your Objective is not weak, avoid clichй, avoid stating vague statements, state what you can do for the company not just what you are expecting from them.
6. The resume should support the Objective, be consistent.
7. Write down accomplishments and career achievements (sell it, don't tell it!)
8. Use industry-specific terminology; impress the interviewer by using keywords related to the industry.

10. Expand each sentence, make them interesting
11. Sake each wording on your resume strong
12. Do not repeat the same information too many times.
13. Proof-read it; have someone else do the proofreading. You do not want your resume to be filled with typos and error.
14. Do not put irrelevant job experiences or information.
15. Make sure that the Style you will be using is not outdated
16. The Second page should not be too short, fill at least half of the paper
17. Do not forget to indicate your name on the second page.
18. Use only the town and state of your previous employer
19. Do not indicate the full dates of employment just use the month and year
20. Do not write down your reason for leaving
21. Use "References Available Upon Request" statement, it is not wrong, references are not necessary. Keep in mind that the employer will ask for it if they need them.
22. Always attach a cover letter but use a different sheet for the salary information
23. Do not include unrelated interests or hobbies such as "long walks, music, knitting, and puzzles", only include these interests if it is related to the career you choose.
24. Do not include personal information; leave off information that tells if you are married or with kids. It is a risk of possible discrimination, plus it is irrelevant.
