DegreeQuery's Infographic Offers Advice on Creating a Successful Resume

If you have been job hunting for a while now, it could be a problem with your CV -- which is where these successful resume tips come in. Created by DegreeQuery, the infographic 'A Resume the Right Way' covers important topics such as the anatomy of a successful resume and what not to do.

Intended to hyelp you increase your chances of being viewed as a capable and necessary employee, the guide notes recruiters only spend an average of six seconds looking at a job candidate's CV. While some of these suggestions might seem obvious -- like including relevant contact information (street addresses are less necessary) -- others are less intuitive. Using keywords and attaching links is a good start.

Avoid going overboard with design as well.
