#resume-writing

Creating a standout résumé or cover letter is your first (and sometimes only) chance to make a strong impression with prospective employers-to really sell yourself. But there's a caveat, HR experts say: don't sound desperate. While we're taught to tailor résumés for the job and really showcase accomplishments, experts argue there's such a thing as going overboard. Employers could find it off-putting. Or worse, they could think you're overrepresenting your credentials.
