Resume Tips

Customize for Each Job: Use keywords and phrases from the specific job description to bypass applicant tracking systems (ATS) and demonstrate relevance.
Focus on Accomplishments: Don't just list duties; show what you achieved (e.g., "Increased sales by 15%").
Use Action Verbs: Start bullet points with words like "Developed," "Managed," "Achieved," or "Led".
Quantify Results: Use numbers, percentages, or dollar amounts to show impact.
Include Relevant Experience: Highlight skills from volunteer work, projects, or coursework if you lack paid experience.
Be Honest: Never lie on your resume.

Keep it Clean & Concise: Use white space, clear headings (Experience, Education, Skills), and bullet points.
Professional Fonts: Stick to simple fonts like Arial, Calibri, or Times New Roman, in a size of 10 -12pt.
One to Two Pages: One page is ideal for most, but two pages are acceptable with extensive experience, focusing on the most recent information first.
Reverse-Chronological Order: List your most recent job and education first.
No First-Person: Avoid using "I," "me," or "my."
Save as PDF: This preserves your formatting.

Typos & Grammar Errors: Proofread meticulously.
Unprofessional Email: Use a formal address (e.g., name@email.com).
Unnecessary Info: Skip personal details, photos, hobbies, or reasons for leaving.
References: Don't include them; state "References available upon request" if needed.
