When it comes to resumes - keep it simple. Simple font and format, bullet points... http://t.co/KSuwB8uK #sales #resume
Trish Sadar's insight:
Too much information and using fancy fonts are common mistakes! If you want to be safe with fonts, use Times New Roman or Arial.
Also, don't make yourself to look like a CEO when you are applying for a clerk position. Remember, the recruiter is not necessarily looking for the best candidate -- they are looking for the candidate who is the right fit for the position, department, and organization.

The resume mistakes that cost you the job
Trish Sadar's insight:
The majority of college students still come to me with a one page generic resume. Please take a moment to read this article that discusses humorous resume mistakes along with advice from an HR VP.
The study results confirm what I believe...that there is a large disconnect between what employers look for in a resume, and what candidates' perception is.
Make it a great day!

Hiring managers receive heaps of resumes for any given job opening, so they often miss, skip or toss a lot of them. Luckily, there are things you can do to help ensure your resume is seen. Here are 6 tips.
Trish Sadar's insight:
Excellent tips in this article from Forbes.
Yes...research the hiring process, and do follow up after you have submitted your resume. Many times when a candidate finds out the name of the recruitment manager/or the hiring manager. They often also send their resume via snail mail to those individuals letting them know that they applied for the position.
I can't tell you how many times a manager has called HR and said, I received this resume who applied online, and I would like to meet this person. It doesn't work all of the time, and you will not usually stand a chance if you haven't followed the submission process.
