Creative Staffing Solutions

In order to understand what makes a resume land on top of your future employers desk, Creative Staffing Solutions thinks it is vital to point out some of the most common mistakes made when preparing your resume!
	Resume Formatting!! Resumes are not a one size fits all document! An employer will give the average resume less than 30 seconds to catch his attention. Make sure that your resume is clear, concise, and prepared in a logical order that can be easily scanned for career highlights! At the same time you must also be creative as the old "curriculum vitae", or block style, format with "Objective" and "Education" listed on top will simply allow your resume to blend in to the hundreds of other resumes that must be reviewed!
	No Dates? If your have jumped around a lot and do not want prospective employers to think you simply can not retain a position do not simply omit the dates!. Leaving dates off your resume will surely cause eyebrows to raise and make people wonder even more what you've been up to.
	Just the Facts! Simply listing the your job duties will not separate you from the crowd. A great resume should include accomplishments and achievements that you have been instrumental in making happen. Increased widget sales by 65% in six months! Brought in 15 new clients with total billings in excess of $100,000! Don't be afraid to brag a little -- just be honest.
