Resume-Writing Do's And Don'ts By Long Island Advertising Agencies

By Rob Sutter


Are you planning on applying for a job at your nearby Long Island advertising agency? What if you'd like to work for a company that's known on a worldwide basis? Whatever the case may be, you should perfect your resume so that it catches the eyes of employers across the board. Does your resume need a little help prior to the submission process? Here are the do's & don'ts that will make this effort more seamless for you.

DO start with a solid title. Much like the headline of a news article, a title will catch the attention of those that may read your resume. In fact, without a good title, your resume may be overlooked entirely. To prevent this from occurring, keep it snappy. You don't want to go over 40 characters or so. Furthermore, ensure that it speaks to who you are, what you're capable of, and the job you're looking for. These are just a few ways to give your resume the boost it needs.

DON'T include every level of education that you've completed. One of the reasons for this is that it makes your resume feel artificially inflated. To avoid this, include only the highest level of education that you've completed. If you didn't attend college, include your high school information. If you earned an associate's or bachelor's degree, keep high school information out of the equation. This will make your resume appear more professional.

DO check your resume for any spelling, grammatical, or structural errors. Much like a college essay or thesis, proofreading is part and parcel of writing a resume. If you feel like you need help, don't be shy about asking a friend, family member, or colleague to offer their insight. After all, when you look over your work with no one else, it's more likely that you'll overlook certain errors. Proofreading makes for the best-written work, and this is no different when it comes to resumes.

DON'T be afraid to look at other resumes. If you are still stumped on what's required to create a resume, feel free to look at other examples. While you're not going to copy them verbatim, they may provide you with a guide to make your resume better. By following their cues, you can make the proper adjustments to yours. Even the smallest of edits can make a difference, so take the time to make corrections as you see fit.
