Resumes:

There is no one right way, but there are better ways...

1. Name, address, phone numbers (home, work, cell, and pager if possible), email and any relevant designations (i.e. CFP, ChFC) all preferably in BOLD.
2. Avoid small and/or wide fonts.  12 is a minimum for faxing and scanning clarity and Arial and Times New Roman are the easiest to read.
3. Dates are a must!  Years of employment at as a minimum, preferably month and year for accuracy reasons.
4. For the two most recent positions, 3-5 bullets highlighting accomplishments or experiences.  For earlier employment, unless very relevant, 1-2 bullets is sufficient.  No need to go back farther than 4 jobs or 15 years, whichever is more.
5. Include all licensing information.
6. Include a cover letter with the following: recent or required compensation; relocation preferences and production numbers if applicable.
