Tip # 203: Common resume blunders.

These FREE weekly business writing tips
will help you improve your business writing.

Tip # 203: For the next couple of weeks, I will concentrate on common resume blunders. The first tip is: Don't be too focused on job duties in writing your resume. When developing your achievements, ask yourself:

• How did you perform the job better than others?
• What were the problems or challenges faced?
• How did you overcome them?
• What were the results?
• How did the company benefit from your performance?
• Did you receive any awards, special recognition or promotions as a result?
