Build a Resume


One cautionary note: To make your job sound, impressive and meaningful there is a need of boasting. If you puff up recognizable positions with over-the-top language, it can really backfire and make you seem silly. The hiring manager will know what it means if your job title is "assistant" or "manager" and aggrandizing the position's responsibilities with inflated language won't help you land an interview.
