*Tip 1 - Use Titles or Headings That Match The Jobs You Want
*With employers receiving hundreds of resumes you must make sure that your resume hooks an employer's attention
within a 5-second glance. A great way to do this is to use job titles and skill headings that relate to and match the jobs
you want. For example, compare the headings Roger used in his before resume to the headings used in his after resume.
Before Resume:
Accounting / Recordkeeping
Administrative
Computer Skills After Resume:
Management of A/R and A/P Accounts
Computerized Accounting Applications
Departmental Administration / Recordkeeping
Which set of headings are the strongest for an Accounts Payable / Receivable Manager position?
Even though Roger's title was Accounting Assistant, he actually managed over 1,000 A/R and A/P accounts. Using skill
headings that market the true nature of Roger's job duties will generate him more interviews and higher salary offers. For
