The Rule of Three is a very general rule for writing, speaking and music that
suggests that ideas presented in threes are inherently more interesting,
enjoyable and memorable.
Employers
are busy people, who may be ploughing through a pile of 50 (or more) resumes
for every job. On the first run through the pile they may only give each
resume a very brief review. Employers will only look at the first 100
- 150 words (i.e. 10-20 seconds), so it is imperative that you get your
most important information to them and quickly. You have to decide what you are selling:
1.
Your character,
2.
What you know how to do and
3.
Your education/training.
Job
seekers need to prioritize what they include in their resume, so use a layout
which allows you to:
1.
Tell them the most important things first,
2.
Highlights the most
important information and
3.
Does not mention the least important information.
