There are plenty of resume tips available online for your quick reference and use and you don't have to be a Byron, Shelley or Wordsworth to come up with a resume worthy of merit.

Job sites not only provide a listing of current vacancies, but also provide helpful tools and tricks of the trade to the job seeker.

The job sites contain hundreds of tips to make your resume attractive to a potential employer. However, we believe that there are only 3 tips that you must keep in mind:

Short Resume:
No one is interested to know about your vital statistics, your family tree or elementary education. Stick to the most recent and relevant information about your life such as your college experience, previous employment and work inclinations.

Simple:
Never, ever use fancy paper or perfumed stationery for your resume. While it gives it a personal touch, the recruitment officer reviewing your resume could be allergic, which is a cause for placing it directly in the trash bin.

Neat:
A good resume is one which is readable. Never use small fonts or types that are too flowery or difficult to read. Place spaces in between lines that are too lengthy; better yet, write your resume in bullets so it's legible and easy on the eye.

It is also recommended that you should submit your resume once every 6 months to the same company. The key to getting your resume noticed is visibility. If you don't keep a company updated, you don't get noticed.

WHERE TO LOOK FOR A JOB:

Look through the help and want ads of newspapers, professional and trade journals and classified ad sites . Find out where government jobs are listed and then try out for a state, local or federal job. Check with your state employment center–it may be able to get you a lead.

Also visit classified ad sites.
