Writing a Resume by Jeanna Hepp


I picked to talk about Writing a Resume because it is something I know we can all get help on, or at least me.


I was able to google "Resume Tips" and it liked me to http://www.free-resume-tips.com/


The information was very helpful for future writings or for updates to my current resume.



  1. Use Title or Headings That Match the Jobs You want

  2. Use Design That Grabs the Attention

  3. Create content that sells

  4. Quantify and use Power Words

  5. Analyze Ads and Job Descriptions to Identify Key Words

  6. Identify and Solve Employer's Hidden Needs

  7. Sell the Benefits of your skills

  8. Create an Image that matches the Salary you want

  9. Prioritize the Content of Your Resume

  10. Tweak and Target Your Resumes and Cover letters

When writing my own resume for my first interview years ago, it was hard to figure out exactly what should be on the resume and what also should be corrected or added. I think these tips will help people to focus while writing the Resume for it to give the person a chance at the job.

Hope some of this information can help!! : )

This video is cute and gives you some tips on HOW TO WRITE YOUR RESUME!
