Resume Tips: Correct Name Usage

It may seem like a no-brainer, but you'd be surprised how many resumes we see that violate this simple rule.

In fact, over 50% of job applicants miss at least one of these simple items.

Here's a list of things to remember when it comes to including your name on your resume:

Correct Name Usage
* Include both your first and last names. Remember, many employers will search for your name online.
* Middle names and initials are unnecessary. Avoid them unless people normally use them when they address you.
* Generational titles like Jr., Sr., and III are appropriate.
* Avoid unrelated academic and professional suffixes.
* Don't use heavy stylization or graphical elements with your name unless you are a graphic designer.
* Place your name in a prominent place at the top of your resume
