answer:If your friend writes resumes, then you should be fine. Don’t do anything silly like print it on fluorescent pink paper. Stick to white or off white paper. Let the words speak for themselves. One thing you can try to do, and this isn’t always possible, try to find the manager of the department where you want to work and mail your resume directly to that person, bypassing the HR department. It will end up in the HR department, but the manager will get to look at it and HR will take notice of it more. I wish you the best of luck in your search.
