If you are going for a designer job or a position here you will have to sue your creative style, you MUST have a web based portfolio and you absolutely need to make sure it looks professional. Web Designers without a web site get a very well defined black X and a trip to the delete basket. After all, why would you not show off your expertise?

Unless you are a graphic designer, do not attempt to create a masterpiece out of your work experiences. Even graphic artists should have a normal chronological resume and a web based portfolio.

There are times when it is easier to organize data in tables. Be careful how you organize your work experience. Tables can be confusing especially if the recruiter needs to edit your resume in any way.

Sales or recruiting resumes should have numbers. Any job where you had numerical goals and you attained those goals you should include. Don’t be too modest! Your competition won’t be.

You should never post your salary expectations anywhere. Most major job boards ask you what you are looking for and most give you the option not to say or to say “negotiable”. Never say what you are looking to make.
The reasoning for this is that a recruiter is thinking of a number. If you are too high above that number he will disqualify you based on salary. If you are too low, he may question how well you understand the market and know your worth. He may also doubt how good you are.
A very low salary for a very experienced professional is a red flag. It also places you at a negotiating disadvantage especially in contract rate negotiations. Permanent recruiters will probably try to get you to ask for the highest salary because this way it becomes a win-win situation. On the other hand, the more a recruiter can push you down on a contract, the bigger margin he can take from the client.
It’s a dog-eat-dog world whether we are working in a recession or the boom times. Never give away your hand first. Make the recruiter quote you first and go from there.
Don't show your hand first

Depending on the circumstance your answer could vary significantly. From the point of view of a technical recruiter, you need to know ahead of time what you are worth and what you are looking to make. A technical recruiter needs to know this information upfront because it allows him to gauge whether the candidate will accept the job or not. If the desired salary is $150,000 and the company is only looking to pay $120,000 there will be issues.
Don’t think that if a company interviews you and falls in love that they will cough up the extra $30,000 dollars. Very likely they will try to come up as much as possible, but only to a certain point. This is why it is best to know what the company is looking to pay and what is the least amount of money you are willing to work for because it will save you and the company a lot of time and effort.
Recruiting takes time and effort and for a potential hire to be blown up because salary was mis-communicated is a waste of time and money.
So you should give the recruiter or HR an acceptable range and be prepared to get an offer on the low side of your range. You may then negotiate the salary, but be careful not to make it look as though you are greedy or ungrateful. In this economy that is the last thing you want the company to think of you.
