According to industry experts, who provide pre-employment screening services and résumé fact checking services, as many as 30% of résumés contain false or incorrect information.  Your résumé is a very important marketing tool.  Employers understand a résumé is a marketing tool, but they also view a résumé as a factual document.

Employers are looking to hire both someone who can do the job and who fits with the team.  Here are six quick tips to ensure your résumé is saying what is important to employers and helping you get interviews.

Be factual and to the point, make your résumé easy to read and interesting.

3. Offer job related, credible evidence of your skills, knowledge and experience.
4. Customize and target your résumé for each position.
