Don't list all experience.

Avoid listing experience more than 15 years old.
Emphasize your most recent positions. Include awards and
affiliations relevant to the position for which you are applying.

Don't use smaller than 11 point font.

Business resumes need to be one side of one page unless
you have more than 15 years experience in which case a
second page is acceptable. Use black ink on white paper.

Don't hide your abilities or attributes.

Illustrate abilities and attributes used during the past 10 to 15
years. Showcase how valuable your were in each role.

Be careful about Facebook.

You will be judged by who you have as friends.
Create a professional Linkedin Profile. Use a pleasant picture
that features you -- not family members.

Don't date degrees.

Leave dates off if earned more than two decades ago.
Special training that pertains to the job is more important so
list it here.
