Overview: Pick up your resume. Where are your thumbs? They are probably at about the midpoint of the page. Most employers spend 15 - 30 seconds when first examining resumes, and only seeing the top half of your resume. Therefore, everything above your thumbs should be the most important information that you want to convey to the employer, and everything below your thumbs should support the message you are communicating. Take the time to write a resume that is an accurate reflection of you. Don't do it alone! Tap into book and web resources, and ask others for input. Remember that you have the final say on your resume's appearance - you must like it. When you look at it, you should say, "Wow, I'm good!!".
