Read our Resume Guidelines. Do this before you post a resume so you can be sure that your resume will appear on the site. All resumes are subject to rejection or removal if they do not meet ourguidelines.

Describe yourself and the type of work you're seeking. Instead of saying, "I want a job that pays a lot of money", indicate the type of job you seek and the skills and talents you bring to the job.

Be specific about your qualifications. What makes you unique? What do you have to offer an employer? Focus on the positives.

Be professional, but creative. Have fun with your resume. That way employers will know that you are not just capable of performing the job, but you also will make their workplace more enjoyable.

Keep it brief. No one wants to read your life story. Write enough to catch a potential employer's attention. You can share more details later

Don't lie! Honesty can prevent disappointment for both you and your potential employer. Remember, you could end up getting a face-to-face interview sooner than you think, so don't say you weigh 117 pounds if you really are 145 pounds.

Double-check your spelling and grammar. Employers and recruiters are more likely to take your resume seriously if you've put some thought into it. Use proper punctuation and capitalization. Avoid writing in all capital letters or in only lower case characters.

Post a photo. The easiest way to get noticed by employers is to post one or more good quality photos with your resume. (Read our tips for choosing photos.) Remember, only jobseekers who post at least one photo are eligible to become Featured Jobseekers on our site. Read our Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) for more details on how to become a Featured Jobseeker.

Upgrade your resume. The most powerful method to increase your exposure and get more responses from employers is to upgrade your resume to a Gold Jobseeker Ad. Upgraded resumes always appear at the top of the list in any talent search results. Therefore, employers and recruiters see the resumes of Gold Jobseekers first.
