 Your resume will likely be the first contact a potential
employer will have from you. It will be what the employer uses to
decide whether you move on to the next stage of the employment
process. Make your first impression count!
Resume Tips
- Keep the length of your resume to one page if possible. NEVER go over two pages.
- DO NOT use pastel and colored paper. White and ivory are standard and acceptable colors.
- An "Objective" statement is unnecessary and wastes valuable space.
- Stay away from an unusual format, fancy or elaborate borders, or irrelevant, light-hearted information. The reverse-chronological format is most frequently used.
- List a GPA of 3.0 or higher. DO NOT round up; use the exact GPA as written on transcripts. If your overall GPA is below a 3.0 but your major field of study is a 3.0 or better, there is nothing wrong with saying "3.0 GPA in major."
- Description of duties and responsibilities are recommended, but should be concise. Keep in mind that accomplishments are what will set you apart from your peers.
 - Use a "bulleted" format to highlight your accomplishments. They should be quantified and clear as to why they are accomplishments. Example: "Achieved an operational readiness rate of 92%--22% above Army standards." Place emphasis on problem-solving skills as well.
- DO NOT include, "References Available Upon Request" and DO NOT include your references on your resume.
- NEVER fold resumes that you will present to prospective employers.
- ALWAYS double check your work and be sure someone else looks it over as well.

"There are many placement organizations, but Corporate Leads is
the one I found to be the most enthusiastic in assisting me with the
most important career transition I would likely face. Their
consultants are genuinely interested in the candidate's future. They
really get to know you, find you the opportunities you are most
comfortable with and suited for, and ultimately create your path of
success. After six months out of the military and into a position
with a decent salary, company car, and good benefits, I realized I
was still not in a job that allowed me to do what I do best: lead.
After two months of working with Corporate Leads, I was interviewed
and hired by a company with a better salary, equal benefits, and most
importantly - the opportunity to lead. The greatest thing about
Corporate Leads is their Responsiveness!"
