Top 10 Resume Essentials

1. Your resume must be an attractive document. If you can't lay out your own resume in a professional and pleasing format, find a friend to do it for you or pay a professional.

2. You should have a contact number on your resume that is exclusively yours, preferably your personal mobile phone number. Recruiters don't want to speak with your spouse or hear your toddler inviting callers to "peas leaf a mefage."
