• Prepare a chronological resume.
• Describe what you did 90% of
   the time, not 10% of the time.
• Describe significant
  accomplishments with each   position held.
• One page is good, but two pages
  are also fine.
• Someone with over ten years of
  experience often should have a
  two-page resume.
• Leave out all personal
  information … i.e., marital status,   children, your age, etc.
• Exceptions include professional   organizations and career-related   volunteer organizations.
• Have many people proofread it to   ensure correct grammar and   spelling.
• Resume paper should be of a   high quality and neutral color.
