HOW TO WOW

Today you’ll learn what I

already know… How to

build a brilliant resume!

Ten Simple Tips

+

Number OneResumes are about

language, not about math.

If you worked as a beekeeper from Feb.

08 until Dec. 11, and you were born on

12/7/81, then how old were you when

you began keeping bees?

Number TwoTell them who you are, not

just what you’ve done.

I’m not just a software engineer, I’m also

a good boy who likes tennis balls,

tummy rubs, and treats!

Number Three

Resumes ≠ Obituaries

Ellie Fant was a hard worker. He did the

work that others would avoid. Although

he was sometimes difficult to work with,

his co-workers always loved him. May

he work in peace! Amen.

Number FourActions Make The Strongest

Verbs

Shake! Rattle! Roll! Jump! Bump!

Grind! Shout! Spin! Bounce!

STOP!….hammer time!

Number FiveWhite Space is Your Friend

My white spots help me

look organized…and

cute!

Number Six

Know Your Audience

I love honey, and my audience will be

full of bears and bees. My discussion of

honey should be well received.

Number SevenHave More Than One

Resume

Gentlemen know that no two occupations

require the same skills, that’s why I have

more than one resume.

Number Eight Set Yourself Apart Just a

Little Bit

All rabbits are equal, but

some rabbits are more

equal than others.

Number Nine

Always Tell the Truth

The truth is that even with

these glasses, I still can’t

read because I’m a bear

and bears can’t read.

Number Ten

Content is King!

Content may be king,

but I am the queen!

Thank you!
