Keep your resume Simple

Hiring managers and recruiters tell me that you don't need a four page resume to be impressive . in fact, you may be more impressive if you can show your stuff ona one-to one and a half page resume

Don't lie

If you are sending your Resume electronically ,know the correct foemat to use. Also Be aware that if you are posting your resume on an electronic bulletin board or website, others may see it including your boss or co-workers

Target the cover letter to the specific job:

while your resume is a look at your general career history and accomplishments , a cover letter is your opportunity to list or elaborate upon specific achievements, talents and contributions as they apply to specific jobs you're applying for. But keep it brief- this isn't the place to give your full history

Use thr Proper Salutation:

always err on the site of formality.sear Mr.sumon or Dear Ms Amena , if you don't have aname,use a non-gender specific term such as Dear recruiter or Dear Company Representative. Recruiters have told me they Have thrown away letters that started " Dear Sir"

Convey Confidence:

you don't want to be a braggart, but if you're not going to write well of yourself, who will? you always want to be honest and direct but you should be confident and enthusiastic as well. As my references will tell you I'm an extremly hard working person. i take pride in my work.

Make both youe resume and cover letter perfect:

no types or errors.A clean layout and readable design. hiring managers look at them as an indication of your writing and communication skills.and whether or not you pay attention to the details

Use a good Quality Bond paper in a neutral colour:

The Envelope should match as well
