Know yourself - Resume preparation begins with a
thorough self-analysis. You'll need to know your skills, accomplishments,
abilities, interests, and career goals. Take inventory of your past
experiences (paid and voluntary) and competencies that you developed or
strengthened as a result.

Know your audience - In order to be an effective
marketing tool, your resume must be focused toward the type of positions you're
seeking and the employer's needs. Know the skills and experiences necessary for
the positions you are applying for and for your career field. You may have to
reorganize your resume for each position to effectively market yourself to that
employer.
