Your Name

[Swede]

Don't forget your name when it comes to resumes.  Common sense - right?  Your name is the most important word(s) in your resume.  Without it you never get a phone call or letter or email.  Your name ought to appear at or near the top of the document with any associated contact information. 

Nicknames: I've had the nickname "Swede" for a long time - 15 years or better.  A nickname may be an added benefit in triggering a sponsor's memory.  Make sure the nickname is of course in good taste and one currently used by those around you. 

How else can you make "your name" stand out in a resume?  Your word processing tools may be of help with that task: bold print, font used, underlining capabilities, and others can help imprint "your name" in the sponsors memory.  Creativity can help here as well - try a few things to see what looks best and please, run it by as many other people as possible to obtain feedback.
