Make it Unique

Resumes are a fact of life. You need a resume to get a job. No, I’ll restate myself. You need a good resume to get a job.  Trent made an excellent point. It is important to use key words in your resume.  My piece of advice is to make your resume unique.  Do not use resume templates in Word Processing.  Templates are boring.  Employers do not want to see the same resume a thousand times. 

Making your resume unique can be a double edged sword though.  Unique does not mean having rainbow background, adding a picture of a puppy, or having pink scented paper.  Sorry Elle Woods, but that is a big no no (from Legally Blonde for those that don’t know).  Employers want to know you are serious about the position. Make sure your resume looks professional and serious.

Life is like a box of chocolates. You never know what you're gonna get.
