TIP : Keep your responsibilities high level when describing previous jobs.

Give an overall picture of work you performed, but don t list every task in detail. And focus on results achieved. Goal setting is one of the fastest routes to achievement. It s a valuable habit, a nd often helps you achieve what you want by creating a reachable end-point. Have you set any professional goals for this year? Pay attention to the order in which you place components of your resume. Some pa rts need to be read first to maximize your chances of receiving top consideratio n for a position. a. Name and contact information b. Career Objective or Summary c. Experience Reverse chronological order (most recent position first) d. Education If you have more education than actual years of experience, place thi s title before Experience. e. References Don t list references on your resume, but indicate they are available on request. Be prepared! Contact references in advance and ask them if you can g ive their name and contact information. Recognition can be a powerful way to foster a positive work place and drive high er performance and customer service. Companies with employees who are regularly recognized for their achievements and given feedback have higher levels of custo mer satisfaction, hire and retain the best talent, and have better business outc omes.
