Resume Writing Tips:

1. Always double check your resume to be sure that it is grammatically correct. This can be done with spell check on your computer.
2. Be very familiar with the position you are applying for, this might mean adjusting your resume so you are highlighting your skill set that fits the position you are applying for.
3. Make sure your resume ?flows? nicely with your education, employment and skills you posses. There are a lot of good examples you can view on line.
4. Remember your resume is sometimes the hiring manager?s first impression of you. So be creative and concise when it comes writing your resume. You can add an image of yourself or maybe even a video clip as your cover letter!
5. It?s important to add a cover letter to your resume. This will summarize you background and why the hiring manager should hire you. Good examples of covers letters can be found online as well.
6. Be sure you add dates and locations of where and when you were in employed. Hiring Managers will usually bounce these resumes back if they are not included.
7. No resume, just bullets of some of your experience or a sloppy written resume a lot of times is an automatic ?NO? by the hiring manager.
8. Too much information on a resume is not good either. Hiring managers don?t want to sift through a 10 page resume. Again you want to highlight your skills not give them a ?blow by blow? from day one!
9. Supplying references and or letters of recommendation with your resume can put you in a favorable light with the hiring manager.
10. Lastly, just because you?re applying for a position with an ?Adult? Company
doesn?t mean you don?t need a professional looking resume. Mainstream or Adult
hiring managers look down upon a poorly written or incomplete resume.

nothing personal, but if someone doesn't instantly get that... then they are not ready for a job.... and your job as a wanna be recruiter is to be telling those people to fuck off... not helping them fake their way through the hiring process.

I can't say that I agree.

A lot of specialized workers is not capable of writing a good resume.

I've seen dozens of resumes the last weeks as we are recruiting and the better the resume looks the more crappy their skills turn out to be in the end.

Ohh and his job as a recruiter is to qualify the applications and match them with proper jobs, not read a resume, a resume doesn't qualify anyone

if a person is not capable of writing a good resume and does not have the intelligence to do some research beforehand, look at examples or lacks the general diligence to make sure they are doing all within their power to present themselves in the best light possible,... then that person is too useless to be employed. end of story. the resume should be thrown in the garbage. that person has already told you up front their they're not mature enough, intelligent enough, skilled enough and just not ready to work for someone else.

a resume is how you present yourself to potential employers. its your first chance to sell yourself. its the only first impression you get to make. its a reflection of a persons grasp of the most basic fundamentals of professional life and whats expected of them - and a shitty resume is a sure sign of someone who is out of touch, doesn't "get it" and its a disaster waiting to happen and an obvious red flag, signaling as to why they're unemployed to begin with.

a recruiters job is to find the best candidates for the employer. "skills" have little to do with what makes a good employee good and a bad employee bad. a recruiters job is not to coach candidates on how not to be a moron and how to fake it through the hiring process... which is both a disservice to the employer and potential employee.

How can you say skills have little to do with what makes a good or bad employee.
The most dedicated and hardworking employee can be a cost for you, your company and your employees if they do not have the skills to understand their tasks tasks.
But they could still have a nice, well written, well formatted resume.

A good recruiter should assist the applicant in making the resume accurate and easy to read, it save someone like me that would be their potential customer a lot of time and makes it easier to review.

FYI I'm talking about special skills job (programmers, designers, techs etc)

If I was hiring for sales or other "communication" positions I'd definitely look more at the positioning of the resume

you sound a bit naive about hiring people. the "skills" have very little to do with a person being a good employee. you are hiring a person, not a math equation. you are hiring a personality and all that goes with it. you are hiring a work ethic. you are hiring someones ability to get along well with others, to collaborate and hopefully to lead others. you are hiring someone to be ambitious and aggressive, to be a self starter and to work hard without having to be constantly reminded or pushed to be kept on track.

frankly, in my 39 years and 11+ years online and in this biz, i've learned that hiring people from inside the industry (unless its a sales rep with contacts) is a horrible, horrible mistake. this industry attracts dysfunctional people and those who are in this industry and unemployed are already 90% certain to be unemployable to begin with. they tend to be nomadic because they have to be. anyone can argue that the average php coder or adult designer has "skills"... but responsible? motivated? organized? ethical? meets deadlines? communicates well? not a drug addict or suffering from major personality disorders? almost never. their shitty resume' just answered a loud "yes" to most or all of those questions.

we've got a new new generation in the US coming up that seems to believe its entitled to everything. its sad and pathetic. when i was growing up... when you wanted a job... your first task was to show how serious you were about it by cutting your hair, buying new clothes, dressing well, being early, saying yes sir and no sir, covering up tattoos and having a professional resume. ... you didn't just show up dressed like an idiot, talking like a LA gangster, then slouch in a chair and with a smart ass smirk on your face, let it be known that you wanted a job as if that all makes perfect sense and says nothing about that person and who they are.

if i knew i was looking to hire someone that i had hoped was a mature adult and discovered they felt a 10 point list of resume tips on a porn forum was exactly enough to create a great resume, i wouldn't never discuss hiring them... much less read the resume.

what can i say? you learn this stuff from experience.
