Mr. McNamara, now 40, landed an entry-level software-engineering position at a New Jersey consulting company that paid an annual salary in the mid-$30,000s. He says he's since advanced into a management role at an online retailer, and earns a salary above the average for software engineers, which is $74,235, according to 2006 survey from EE Times, a trade magazine.
3. Focus your resume on your talents. 简历要以能力为主
Ms. Herring recommends starting with a summary of your top skills, then listing them separately in bullet points. Include a description of your key accomplishments in each area, she says.
"Hiring managers typically spend about 30 seconds going over a resume, so you want to communicate in a glance what your major contribution is going to be," she says.
Add your work and educational credentials at the end -- including those unrelated to the jobs you want -- to avoid raising any red flags, she says.
4. Look the part. 仪容得体
Dress up for the interview, even if the company's culture is business casual, says Kathy Downs, division director in Orlando, Fla., for Robert Half International Inc., a staffing firm based in Menlo Park, Calif. Make sure your clothes fit and are in fashion, she says. Otherwise, interviewers "may get the impression that you haven't planned things out very well or you don't have a wardrobe that's appropriate for the position," she says.
