Your portfolio is the single most important display of your work. A bad portfolio will reduce any chance you have of getting a job. Your resume may talk about your talents, but your portfolio will do the real talking! Your portfolio must prove your resume to be true and show only the most outstanding pieces you've created.  Limit your samples, do not include everything you have ever created. Most employers or clients do not want to spend all day looking and talking about every sample displayed. Make sure and point out your most important designs and leave the others behind. However, do not limit yourself to only a few samples. Make sure your portfolio has body and shows your diverse abilities.\n\nMake sure and place your best designs toward the front of the portfolio. If you have big clients, make sure and put those samples closer to the front as well. As you continue through the interview, the employer will start talking more to you and looking less at the portfolio. You must get their attention early by moving your samples. Try to keep your samples in order of print, web, ads, etc.\n\nSome designers will create great looking portfolios while others will make too much of it. For example, you should consider keeping the layout of your pages clean and simple, allowing for the artwork to do the talking. Use black or other solid colored papers to mount your artwork on. Keep 1 to 2 items per page as not to distract from the creative. Some designers on the other hand will make a portfolio busy by adding design to the pages along with the creative sample that they are displaying. In some cases, this may be effective, but for the most part its distracting to the original creative. Remember that you're showing who you are through your designs – let them do the talking for you both.\n\nLast but not least, is leaving your portfolio for a prospective client or employer to review a good or bad idea? This is a bad idea – I have known too many portfolios getting lost and lawsuits coming about after that. If you feel you have a chance and can trust the client or employer, then leave your portfolio for no more than one day for them to review. My suggestion is to leave a sample package or direct them to a Web site. A Web site is the best way to let everyone review your artwork at any time. If they are serious about seeing you after that, then you can bring in your actual portfolio. I personally like to see both, but I would rather look at a Web site up front. Make sure to include a Web address on your resume. Also, if you do leave your portfolio somewhere, have some form of identification on the outside, either a luggage tag or your logo, as well as a label on the inside with your contact information. This will help keep your portfolio from getting lost.

Start with a summary (in point form) of what you have accomplished. Then followed by your detailed work experience. Each one should have a strong emphasis of what exactly you have done in that job which stood out. Lastly write about your education/studies (degree) which should mention about your major and thesis. Also include other personal developments (workshop, seminars, etc.) as well. Eventually, you can always add more later to 'spice' it up. Remember, a good resume is never perfect and finalized; you will always need to update it occasionally. G'luck.

Depends on the industry in which you are looking for a job.  In general however a resume should be easy to read. You should check the grammar and spelling over very carefully.  Have someone else proofread your resume who has language skills.\nThen list career objective at the top (optional) then work experience followed by eduction followed by other items such as papers you've published, groups you belong to, awards, etc.\nDo not put your picture, family pictures or other personal information on your resume - this can create difficulties for the hiring company.  \nIf you are applying to a staffing, recruiting or temp agency then do not use fancy formatting in your resume.  Do not use tables to format your resume.  Use only one font, and use line wrapping instead of hard carriage returns inside of paragraphs.  These things allow a recruiting agency to reformat your resume to their specification easily.  If it's hard to do then it may cost you a position.

Know your investment types. Know what your risk factors and types are and then start outlining. Consider your audience's age group and baseline knowledge. \n\nBased on your time constraints plan how much depth you need to cover. For Instance ask yourself if you need just the basics (what are investments? why do people invest? etc.) or should you go into more depth (specific markets and risk factors, equity investments versus debt investments, OTC trading vs Exchange trading, and don't forget real estate, futures, options, forwards, and the rest...)\n\nHope this helps; feel free to email/IM me if you need more guidance (redphoenix_hou@yahoo.com)

Go to your bookstore and find a resume book in the business/career section. You can also find examples and templates online if you do a search.\n\nIf you have less than 10 years of experience, you want your resume to be one page. Generally, clearly show your name, mailing address, email address if available, and best phone number(s) to contact you.\n\nThen show your education, work experience, any interests, achievements, and skill sets. Under your work experience, it is not a list of your job descriptions (this is a common mistake). You should instead indicate what you have accomplished and the results.  Also, try not to use technical words and jargons.  Do not abbreviate.\n\nBelow are some sample resumes, including one for sales manager, for your reference.\n\nhttp://www.resume-resource.com/samples.html\n\nGood luck and have a nice day.

Check out the link below.  It can be a little inflated, since they use multipliers instead of raw data for some positions.  But it'll give you a general idea.  There's also more than one level listed, so you can see which one fits you best based on your education and years of experience.

If you check out monster.com, they have a lot of advice for preparing resumes. Depending on your trade, you may just want to hire a professional to put it together for you. They are pretty reasonable.

I am qualified for this position because....list your work experience that relates to this job you're trying for (and it can be skills that go along with the job, not specific things...you don't have to know how to make a deck specifically, but if you've worked with wood, that counts)...then list your educational experience that goes toward it.  At worst, list tangential skills that might apply very remotely.

A résumé is usually 1-2 pages long and briefly chronicles your past experience - usually chronologically with the most recent experience first.  A résumé can be general or if it is being sent in for  specific job - the keywords in the job description should be mirrored in the résumé.  \n\nIn general a curriculum vitae is usually reserved for teaching or research positions.  It should include all positions held, all university information, all published articles/books, presentations, academic achievements, non-profit work etc.  The last person I worked for in the academic field had one that was 37 pages long and still growing.  \n\nIn both the résumé and CV you are allowed to "brag" about your accomplishments - but keep in mind to be truthful or it may come back to "bite" you later.  Use good action or numerically related terms.  For example: “Increased ROI on 3 product lines by 125%” or “Designed web cite for the County of Wellington”.  Keep lots of white space – don’t want to irritate those readers eyes.  \n\nGPA's higher than 3.2 should be put on your résumé and CV.  \n\nNo photos or references - photos are a "no-no" in this country and references should only be given when asked for - but always have them ready!  I put this information in re: the photos since I know that in many other countries is it normal to send a photo with your résumé.  \n\nOh you should also have a text only résumé and CV for sending on the Internet.  About 50% of the companies hiring on the net ask you to submit a text only résumé or CV so keep one of those handy too!\n\nBTW – some people like functional résumés – yet most hiring managers I know HATE them.  So I don’t recommend them.  They believe you are hiding something when you write functional vs. chronological.  \n\nSome good links:\n\nTEXT ONLY resume/CV\nhttp://www.ischool.utexas.edu/technology/tutorials/webdev/digital_resume/step3.html\n\nCHRONOLOGICAL resume/CV\nhttp://www.quintcareers.com/sample_resumes.html#MBA\n\nHow to make a CV\nfor a good example of what to include on a CV\nhttp://www-cs-faculty.stanford.edu/~knuth/vita.html \n\nIf you are good at HTML you may also want to make an HTML site that has your “online” résumé and links to text and pdf versions.  \n\nOh yes make sure you do your homework on cover letters and thank you notes...thank you's are VERY important and often over looked!\n\ngood luck!

Your name, a detailed paragraph describing what you want to do and why you would be good for it (keep it 5 lines or less),  prior work experience, and education, in that order. Dont list your hobbies or activities you enjoy doing, no one but you cares. If there is a lapse in your employment, i.e. years where you were unemployed, explain that. List any computer programs you know proficiently at the bottom. DO NOT list References available upon request. DO NOT have a resume more than one page long. Look at it from the point of view of the person hiring, they probably have at least 50 resumes, more than one page doesnt make them think that you have more experience, it makes them think they have more to read. If they want references they will ask, whether you put available upon request or not.

Chronological Resume: This resume outline helps showcase your employment history in an organized manner. You will begin with your most recent job experience and work your way back. This type of resume is easy to write, and is probably the most common resume format. In fact 84% of recruiters prefer this type of resume outline to any other. So if you are in doubt of which resume outline to use, stick with the chronological resume. If you have a spotty employment history, or lack any real-life experience though this may not be the best resume type for you. It could end up highlighting your lack of job experience. \nExample:\nMelissa G.
