Resume Writing/Interview Tips

Resume Writing/Interview Tips
As a staffing company, we review thousands of resumes each year. It is our experience that when applying for contract positions you can use a simpler form for your resume. For example, for contract positions, an objective is usually not required. It is best to include a detailed summary of your specific skills and experience at the top of your resume.

Below please find a sample format that many of our clients request:
 

Name
Address
Contact Information

Experience Summary:
Write down what your job title is and the types of tasks you have performed. Include any intangibles such as your computer skills, communications skills, supervisory and leadership skills, etc.

Skills Summary:
Write down the specific products and/or technologies you have experience working on.

Work History: (List your jobs in reverse chronological order starting with your most recent position. Make sure you include dates of employment).
