What are the top resume tips?

Great resume tips - make sure you write these down. Memorize them when you go to write your resume. You need to have a clear-cut objective; tell the prospective employer what type of position you're looking for - if it's marketing manager, vice president of whatever, administrative assistant, be clear and up-front. Try to make sure your objective is in line with the position you are applying for. Provide a good summary paragraph of who you are, what you're all about, and list some areas of expertise or specials skill, so if you happen to be a great writer, a great communicator, or a great problem solver, let the employer know that you have these skills and that you bring those things to the table. Also, make sure that you bullet point specific accomplishments under each position you have held, so that they know that you didn't just have these certain responsibilities, but that you also were able to accomplish a lot of different things in each position.
