Let Yourself Shine

October 28, 2008

Just a brief bit of resume advice. If you take away nothing else in terms of guidance in this area, take this: Don’t be boring- orĀ undersell yourself- in your resume.

This is your place to really express who you are in your career. Yes, you can (should) use colorful words (if you are a colorful person). Be bold on paperĀ if you are bold in real life. There is even room for a little gentle humor (if that is who you are). Be creative. Be proud.

In short: Let yourself shine.
