Remember that your resume is your key in getting your desired job. It represents your whole character as a person and as an employee. Resume represents the overall YOU.
Precise and straight to the point resumes are the things that the interviewer wants to see from his or her employee. Some say that a one page resume is a plus because the interviewer will be more interested to read it. Not like those three pages resume which some assumed that the interviewer just throw it to the trash.
D’s to remember:
Don’t put silly things in your resume.
Don’t try to fool and deceive the interviewer.
Don’t tell a lie.
plus a B:
Be yourself.
