Los Angeles, California, United States of America (Free-Press-Release.com) April 16, 2011 --
If you have found yourself in the position where you must again begin submitting your resume to various companies, take heart that this is the perfect opportunity to make the best of your experience.

While it is indeed a tough economic time and finding a new job is hard, it may be easier than you might think to find the right job for you. Now is actually a great time to make the right job change, even if you don't need to find a new job. While the job pool is getting saturated with desperate job seekers lacking disparate attractive characteristics, you can set yourself apart by following these 5 simple resume writing tips.

Be Efficient - obviously, hiring managers are sifting through hundreds of applications and possible candidates. Put the most pertinent information at the top of each section and organize it in a way that is easy to follow. When in doubt, leave it out-you need something to surprise them with in the interview anyway.

Be Precise - as the adage goes: keep it simple, but you're not stupid, so don't let them think that you are, by rambling on with filler words and irrelevant innocuous information. Only give them enough information to make them want to keep reading. Make short, relevant points that are preferably bulleted.

Be Honest - while it may seem like a good idea to pad your resume with big names or numbers, you'll get caught up in semantics later on. Get hired because you are the right person for the job, not because you said the right things. Besides, how long can you really get away with living a lie?

Be Bold - even if your skills are far above par, nobody will know unless you can grab their attention. Use 12 point font, which is just big enough to avoid eye strain, and just small enough to let you maximize the space you have. Use captivating titles and powerful keywords to not only draw attention but create a standout image of you in their mind.

Be Smart - only give them enough relevant information that they will have to set up an interview to learn more. Explain the benefit of your skills and your career goals and where this particular company comes into play, focusing on the unique dynamic that only you can provide.

Whether you are in the market for a new job because you fear layoffs, are facing layoffs with your current employer, or are looking to make a career change, you can reach your job and career goals with the right self-marketing strategy. Learning how to sell yourself is, in fact, the most important skill you will ever need, no matter what job you have.

While there are many more useful tricks of the resume trade that you can use, so to speak, these 5 simple and easy resume writing tips will get you started, and on your way to a new job and hopefully establish a strong foundation for a much brighter future.
