Formatting Your Resume PDF Print E-mail

Once your resume is completed and proofed, you will want to format it for both people and computers.

 It should go without saying, but we feel obligated to say it anyway:

·         Carefully proof read your resume.

·         Correct all spelling and typographical errors

·         Ensure proper grammar usage.

·         Don't exaggerate your qualifications.

·         Tell the truth!

 

Remember to follow the guidelines below:

  • ·         Create the resume and save it in a widely used format.  Common extensions are .doc, .pdf and .rtf.
  • ·         Make sure your contact information is completely obvious.
  • ·         Define sections clearly and distinctly.
  • ·         Choose a simple font (like Arial or Times New Roman).
  • ·         Use black ink only.
  • ·         Don't add logos or pictures

Testimonials

"In 2003, Management Recruiters of Newburgh recruited me for consideration and ultimately acceptance as a region president for a regional banking company. I subsequently engaged this firm to recruit key people for several critical positions that I needed filled. They diligently located and recruited quality staff for me. With former bankers included on its staff, this company was able to communicate in banking terms with potential candidates.

I found that Management Recruiters of Newburgh to be professional and very effective in locating and identifying solid bankers for me. I would recommend them to any financial services firm needing to fill important positions in a professional and efficient manner."
