Adding Experience to your Resume

After your Career Summary, your Work Experience (or Career Experience/Professional Experience) is the most important information on your Resume.

The title of each job is important. It is important that the title reflects the experience you have, and also is as relevant as possible to the position you are applying for. If the title of your job has little meaning, change it so it better reflects the message you are trying to get across.

If you make it to an interview you will most likely spend a lot of time talking about your work experience, so be sure that you are comfortable talking about anything you mention in your work experience. Try to prevent your work history sounding like a list of job descriptions, as this will make for boring reading, and you want to be remembered. Try to sound enthusiastic, and make sure you mention where you applied your skills, solved problems and assumed responsiblity.
