Team Cronos Resume Tips For A Rapid Response

Your resume should be both a business document and a marketing tool. We review many resumes, and we know what employers value most. We also understand the mechanics of what works and what doesn't. Here are 10 great tips to get you a rapid response on your next resume submission.

1. Design your resume to generate a response.
2. Don't forget the nuts and bolts of good business writing. Be legible, credible and structured.
3. You are your own brand. Be clear about what makes you unique.
4. Start with a profile, rather than an objective.
5. Be authentic, specific and genuine, and stay away from clichés.
6. Chronology counts! Employers think in terms of time not functional abilities.
7. As with all things in life, less is sometimes more.
8. State what you did and for whom along with when you did it.
9. Accomplishments vs. responsibilities–quantify and qualify your success.
10. Show some personality–you'll be remembered.
