Tips for Excellent Resumes
• Put most recent experience first
• Emphasize quantifiable accomplishments: “Grew case volume from 3,000 to 5,000 cases in 1 year,” “Responsible for 18 ORs and PACU,” “Improved turnaround times by 20%.”
• Don’t use “I” statements. Save it for the cover letter
• Emphasize service lines relevant to position
• Use bullets & numbering. Avoid paragraphs describing job details or accomplishments
• Begin sentences & bullet points with ACTION VERBS (i.e. Developed, Created, Improved, etc.)
• Degrees AND certification
• Scope details
• Don’t include irrelevant job history
• Don’t include high school degree
• One font (maybe two) and color
• Illustrate construction and project management experience if applicable
• Spell check
• Have a head shot at the ready (not necessarily on the resumé but be prepared to provide)
