So you've learned everything there is to know on how to create a successful resume and cover letter. You should be able to grab the potentials employers attention with ease now that you will be attaching a cover letter to your resume as well, but to make an even better lasting impression follow these next few tips to be as successful in your job hunt as possible in regards to your professional profile.

Tip #1: Use cream, gray, off-white or white colored resume paper. It's a different texture than the boring copy paper everyone else uses and will make you stand out. The employer will remember you better because your resume is different than all the others.

Tip #2 Use a professional email address on your resume. Do Not use emails like "hot_gal@yahoo.com", etc. This also goes for your voice mail message that is connected to the phone number you are using on your resume.

Tip #3 Use a contemporary clean font. Times New Roman is used way to much. Grab your readers attention with fonts like Arial or Helvetica in 11px or 12px. These fonts are really clean, simple, and professional.

Tip #4 Use "power" words when relaying the skills you possess. If you are applying for a clerical position you would use words that are "clerical oriented". For example instead of saying:

Greeted clients, answered a multi-line telephone and directed calls properly, completed tasks as assigned, worked within the company’s database to add, update and delete records.

Reflected a professional image for the company through phone, email, and direct interaction with the companies clientèle. Completed filing duties and data entry with strict attention to detail to efficiently file and enter data accurately. Maintained excellent time management to complete assigned tasks and meet deadlines.
