So you want to get a job in the human resources field? Here are 10 tips to get that resume polished and ready to go.

1. Remember the purpose of the resume is to get an interview, not to explain everything you’ve done throughout your career.

2. Keep the layout simple. Most hiring managers have only a few minutes to look at resumes. Don’t make the manager search for information.

3. Use only one or two simple fonts. Serif fonts are easier to read and are good for copy. Sans serif fonts are better for headlines.

4. If you use color, use it sparingly.Want more? Click here/tag Too much color distracts the reader.

5. Stress your accomplishments, not your job duties.

6. Have a professional or trusted friend review your resume and provide honest feedback.

7. Set your resume aside for a day, then look at it with a pair of fresh eyes. You’ll catch mistakes you didn’t see before.

8. Pretend you are the hiring manager. Review your resume with the manager’s perspective in mind.

9. Revise your resume at least three times to make the wording tight and the grammar perfect.

10. Use attention-grabbing words such as developed, achieved and implemented.
