An important prelude to job-seeking is preparing the résumé. The author identifies the elements of a useful résumé and suggests how to package those elements to emphasize your assets. Other recommendations include (1)being truthful, (2) using factual and concise language, (3) making no mechanical errors (typos, spelling, or punctuation), (4) not using carbon paper, and (5) having someone else read your résumé before drafting the final copy.
