Like the cold hard truth regarding our health, the truth is that every employer wants to hire a person with a track record of achievement and stability, who brings the needed skill set into the organization, and will stay there a long time. With that disclaimer, I will give you some low-hanging fruit you can implement immediately by sprucing up your resume.
Keep in mind that the resume is a tool to sell yourself, so get comfortable with that idea. Don’t exaggerate or embellish the truth, but emphasize the positive aspects of your education, experience, skills, and accomplishments to generate interest on the part of a potential employer.
You are more likely to screen yourself out by providing too much information. At some point the reader (if they stick with it) will feel like they have learned enough about you to conclude you would not be right for the job. Also, the reader may start skimming because the resume is so long, thereby missing important information and getting the resume tossed into the “no” stack.
