What to include and avoid on your resume

See the post Memo from Kafka's Castle and What Employers Want to See on Your Resume on Guy Kawasaki's blog for some solid tips on what to include and what to avoid on your resume.

Include:

• Verbs ending in “d”: shipped, launched, built, sold.
• Results: not responsibilities or experience--but what responsibilities and experience helped you accomplish.
• A link to your blog: a blog gives you online street cred. For some, it is your resume.
  

Avoid:

• Churn: stints at two or more employers of less than two years.
• List of generic skills: just show what you actually accomplished at each job.
• “Proven” as in “proven leadership.” We all still have something to prove.
