Writing Style Do's:

• Since many companies screen resumes by computer, use key words from the job description or classified ad in your resume.
• Keep sentences short.
• Use your computer's spell check function, but don't count on it to find every typo. Remember, the computer can't tell the difference between words like "too" and "to." Proofread carefully.

Writing Style Don'ts

• Use "I," the first person pronoun, in your resume. It's understood.
• Use lofty language, long sentences or big words
• Overuse professional jargon or abbreviations.
• Use puns or clever wordplays.
