Let's talk a little about accentuating.
People in the job search arena have always asked the question, "Do you have a resume?" Well, that still goes in today's world, but you might want to think about this; different companies are looking for different things and you'll need to be prepared for that.
It's a good idea to have several different resumes ready to go. Accentuating your skill sets in a different order will often make a big difference to the reader. Depending on the position for which you're applying, you may want to move your computer skills up in the list, or perhaps your managerial experience. Think back to your past work experience. Were you involved in any marketing campaigns, project management, accounting? Now think about the position and the company to which you're applying. Make sure to accentuate the skills that fit the job.
Make sure that you're ready to answer questions about those skills. What were the parameters of that marketing campaign? How were your computer skills used? How many people did you oversee as a manager? Do you have a success story? Did you increase production or profit?
The right resume can go a long way.
