Resumes Do's and Don'ts

    Most Prespective employers will want you to produce a resume.  Many people are unsure of what to put and all that nice stuff.  Here I am to save the day and tell you a bit about resumes.
     A professional resume describes personal and prefessional characteristics in a brief, concise manner.  Some of the things to include in the resume(in order as they should appear on the resume) are: Personal data (name address phone email), Educational background , Additional Training, Previous employement, special skills or areas of expertise, and special awards or recongition.  Also  include: References, interests, objective. 
    Most Microsoft Word programs have a template that will help you make the best resume possible while spell checking it all.
     Try to keep it to one page.  Also look up scannable resumes now.  It's the new thing in resumes.  So you might make a scannable resume.  You can learn more about how to properly write a resume in any technical writing class, or go to the library to get a technical writing book for reference.
