An Important Resume "Do"

When describing the positions you've had, it is very important that you describe what your company does, and what type of clients they deal with. Your resume will read more effectively if you clearly state the responsibilities of your position and how that relates to what the company does. This sounds rather logical, but in reality, most resumes do not follow this advice.

Assume that the reader (recruiter, hiring manager, HR) knows nothing about your company and what they do. You need to clearly illustrate the connection between your experience and the requirements or duties of the positions you are applying for. Describing your company and what they do will help you accomplish that.
