What are your best resume tips?
btilly: First I think that anyone who is offering advice on resumes should be willing to present theirs.  Here is mine: http://elem.com/~btilly/BenTilly.pdfI believe that a good resume is one that makes people look twice at you.  It should lay out the facts in as compelling and concise a way as possible.  Whenever possible you should demonstrate to prospective employers that you provide value, and you understand how much value you provide.  Details about format, layout, and so on should be chosen to highlight your strengths in the most compelling way possible.The first trick is that you must hook people fast.  Yes, you need a bunch of keywords for the bots.  But you don't want that to be the first thing the humans read.  You want people to read something that can make them dream about what you could do for them.The second trick is that a resume is not the time for modesty.  When else is it socially acceptable to sit down and say the nice things about yourself?  Don't hold back, have fun with it!The third trick is that no matter how much work you put into your resume, you need your most honest friends to read it and give critical feedback.  You don't want the friend who will say nice things.  You want the one who will look at it, tear apart, let you know why it doesn't work and make you rewrite it.  I don't know how many times I rewrote my resume, but I do know that it is a lot better for having been rewritten.I'm starting to ramble now, so I'll stop.  So in closing, good luck.
