Harty- Resumes

• Don't confuse customers by flaunting things that do not speak to their needs
• It is important to know what the job is about
• resumes are very useful when employers advertise and list the qualifications they seek
• Application letters are very important- they make an employer interested in you
• application letters should look buisnesslike, have no spelling, and be to the point
• the more words you use, the less they are worth
• write and rewrite letters
• the value of a resume is frequently more in its preparation than in its use
• make it attractive to read
• you want your resume to reflect an orderly mind
• do not overemphasize less important items
• spacing is important, it can either emphasize good things or unemphasize bad things
• use headings to attract readers 
• in a functional resume, you can develop a different message for each job or type of job you wish to apply for
• there is no reason why each resume can't be slanted to appeal to the particular employer
• C.V.- curriculum vitae- a resume for academic positions and as such does not need a statement of goals or interest
• a career interest leads to a simple way of stating the purpose of the resume
• keep a resume to one page if possible
