Advice
Avoid Gaps
Long gaps between employment left unexplained should be avoided. Always be sure to give a brief explanation of any long periods between employment.
Tailor your resume to the job you are applying for
Be careful not include any information in your resume from previous applications. The tone of the entire resume should speak to job you are applying for.
