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!
