Can you tell me some tips on writing an excellent resume?

Question by zeekandthefam: Can you tell me some tips on writing an excellent resume?
I am looking to redo my resume, I have a college education, and I own my own home based tutoring business, which is running more part time at the moment, and I have about 10 years experience with children and various other jobs. I am trying to make a resume that doesn’t sound so *all over the place*, lol. Any serious suggestions are greatly appreciated!

Make sure it is tailored to make you look as qualified as you can for the position you are applying for. – Recruiters don’t want to waste their time with irrelevant information.

Make sure your greatest selling points are on the top 1/3 of the page. – Most recruiters look at your resume for 20 seconds or less.

Keep it short and sweet – the purpose of the resume is JUST to get you the interview – so you don’t need to be super detailed (but not too vague either)

What do you think? Answer below!
