Get Rid Of The Resume Clunkers

The resume as great literature.
It less about Shakespeare and more about Dick & Jane.
Clarity trumps novelty.
Honesty and simplicity.
Pleasing to the eye and right to the point.
Just don't forget to highlight the skills and experience God has given you!
And one more thing?
Leave out the resume clunkers.
Here's a link to a great article in the St. Louis Post Dispatch.
197 Words That Can Kill A Resume:
Another thing to keep in mind as you do your best:
For the follower of Christ, God is in the details.
He's sovereign.
If He wants you in a particular job, he can grant you favor in the eyes of those doing the hiring.
When God wants us in a place, nothing in Heaven or on earth can keep us from being there.
Even a less than perfect resume.
Proverbs 21:1 (NIV) "The king's heart is in the hand of the LORD; he directs it like a watercourse wherever he pleases."
