Here are some important tips to remember before sending out your resume.

1. One of the most important parts of your job search is your resume distribution plan. How your resume gets into a company and who gets it counts.
2. Your resume should not generate more questions than it answers. Be mindful of its content in relation to the position you are seeking.
3. Two questions your resume must answer: Who are you and Are you the right person for the job?
4. Your social media profiles are resumes that an employer will read when considering you for a position. They need to be reviewed regularly.
5. How your resume enters a company is how its value will be perceived.
6. The reputation of the person who gives your resume to a hiring manager determines if they will consider it.
7. Most job searches fail to yield interviews and offers because the resume is sent to an e-mail box or an applicant tracking system, not a person.
8. If a job seeker does not follow up after an interview, there is a good chance for their resume to be buried and forgotten.
9. Networking is the pursuit to put your resume into a hiring manager’s hand.
10. The best destination for your resume is the hiring manager’s hand.
