One other item regarding resumes. A really simple mistake to correct is listing the months of employment along with years. If there isn't a reason, don't do it.
Here's an example:
Jane Doe
Current Job March 2010- Present
Past job #1 Feb 2008 - Jan 2010
Past job #2 March 2006 - June 2008
Look at all the employment gaps!! Try it like this:
Jane Doe
Current Job 2010-Present
Past Job #1 2008-2010
Past Job #2 2006 -2008
Do you see what I mean? No one needs to know that you quit and took several months to find a new job. Why advertise that fact?
