Resumes: From Good to Great 
By Ashley Collins, AgCareers.com Education & Marketing Specialist 

When it comes to developing a resume, the number one thing to remember is the importance of spell check! The second most important thing to remember is that "it is all in the eye of the beholder," .. especially when it comes to formatting. Some may want information in a very specific layout while others would like to see your creativity. However, there are some basic fundamentals that should not be ignored.

On average, employers spend less than 20 seconds scanning your resume. If you've been asked to email or upload your resume to an online system versus a personal meeting, your resume is the first impression you make on the recruiter. You want to make sure you quickly highlight your best qualities to ensure that your resume lands in the "follow-up" stack of resumes. Below you'll find some quick tips to develop a great resume:

*	Try to keep your resume 1 to 2 pages max. 
*	If listing a mobile phone number, tell the recruiter that it is your mobile line and be conscious of your ringtone and voicemail greeting. 
*	If you use a generic email address like Yahoo, Gmail, or Hotmail, list that email to ensure incoming messages from employers aren't sent to your SPAM or JUNK folders. Be sure your email address is professional - this is another opportunity you have to make a good first impression. 
*	If you have a post-secondary education, list your major and graduation date, and if you have a GPA of 3.0 or better, include that as well.
