How Does Your Resume Look?

The Suggestion Kitty is back over at the Technical Careers @ Microsoft blog, and that's a good thing since the kitty is offering such sage advice. The April 13th post reminds us that the resume is a marketing tool, and while you must be honest, you should be sure to present your experiences in the best light possible. The blog offers this analogy:

"When Barbara Walters interviews a celebrity for 'The View' or one of her many 'Barbara Walters Specials,' a soft-filter is applied to the video. The end result is still the real subject telling the same story, but the picture you see is easier on the eyes…it's softer and more appealing. Gone are the blemishes, blood-shot eyes and out-of-place hairs. The image invites you to keep watching and listening...even if the celebrity herself is less than engaging!"

If you're convinced and ready to make some changes, these articles from Monster can help:

I wanted to know if my resume was bland .I have had several jobs.Which I know makes me look bad. I know that the city I just moved to ,I will be here for a while. So now I am looking for a chance with a company, entry level it doesn't matter, that will give a chance until I go back to school and become certified.
