  • N is for Numbers. Although you shouldn't use numbers to talk about your salary, you should use numbers to define your accomplishments. Numbers quantify your achievements and let employers know how efficiently you can work. A good example is: Successfully exceeded fundraising goals by 62 percent, bringing in $1.2 million in revenue.


  • The executive resume is for seasoned professionals, including C-level executives, directors, vice-presidents and politicians. Executive resumes tend to be two to three pages in length and are aggressively worded. As an executive, if you are uncomfortable trying to take your years of experience and narrow down the really important details, check out resume writing services. They can help you decide what your most outstanding accomplishments are and how they can be written to impress potential employers.


  • Resume Cover Letter. Send your Resume cover letter and resume to a specific person. The correct name and spelling of their name is imperative, even if you have to call your potential employer to get it. Be sure to end your cover letter by requesting an interview and/or stating your intention to call in a week or two.
