Your resume is the first impression a recruiter will have of you and your skills, so make every word count. We hope that the following tips from the recruiting department of the TJX Companies, Inc. will help you to prepare a resume that will not only land you an interview but also a job.

• Be brief and direct when describing your job descriptions/responsibilities. An efficient resume is the sign of an efficient employee.

• Proofread! Your resume is a reflection of you – it is your first impression to future employers.

• Tailor your resume for the specific position you are applying for.

• Be honest and do not inflate the facts.

• Keep your resume neat and organized.

• List your past experiences/positions by date – start with the most recent position held.

• Include current or past manager or supervisor in your resume. Be certain to include professional and personal references. Supply their title, phone number and email address. Make sure your references are aware that you have given their name.

• Always have extra resumes with you when interviewing.

• Follow up interviews with a thank-you note to the recruiter.
