Key point  #2: Do your homework! Know who you are applying to and tailor your resume to fit the job description provided along with examples of previous experiences where you have applied these skills and been successful with the results!

Key point #3: Whether you highlight your longevity at your current company, following through with higher education, or volunteering while actively looking for employment, it is crucial that one demonstrates initiative and unswerving persistence and that this is showcased in their resume! If there is a gap in history, explain the reasoning for it and highlight your productivity within that timeframe.
