What are your resume enhancements?

[dream431ca]

If your applying for a job that you really want, what do you do on your resume to make sure you get noticed? Do you add a picture? or do you make your resume really detailed? Just curious on what you do to make sure you at least get to the interview?

Keep it simple. I read résumés all the time (won't do an interview without one) and you want your main points to be readable at a glance (long periods of work history, relevant job experience), but put those in bullet points that the reader can gather at a glance. When (and if) he or she gets the time to read it in more detail, they'll pick up on whatever else you have in there. If I get a résumé that's a 3-ring binder of certificates and awards, I still only peruse the front page unless something there makes me thing there'll be a zinger in the bundle. I keep my résumé to a single sheet.

I have found that an eye catching cover made of human skin helps get me noticed.

I don't know what they do in Alabama, but that won't work here

Just make sure you only put relevant facts on the resume. Tailor the resume to the job. Don't put how you were chess club president if you wanna be a TV producer.
