First impressions are important and as a job seeker, your resume is your first impression to a prospective employer.  The resume is a representation of you and as such, should reflect all of your experience, skills/abilities, and education. You are putting your best foot forward in representing yourself with your resume. This may also require you to have more than one resume, depending on what type of job you are looking for in relation to your actual experience.

​

 Below are a few tips to look for when writing your resume: 

• Resumes should be 1 - 3 pages (preferably 2 pages maximum)

• Use bullet points for your job duties. Paragraphs are hard to read. Bullet points are easier to scan through.

• Make sure to include all relevant jobs respective to the position you are applying for. This is where you might have different types of resumes.

• Use your current job description to help you detail your duties on your resume, as long as it is relevant to you.

• Use spell check or some type of grammar system such as Grammarly. 

• The top half of the resume should be the most important since it is what recruiters and employers see first (i.e., Skills)

• Include a cover letter that promotes all of your top qualities and experience.

• Use keywords in your resume such as, but not limited to:

  • Advanced​

  • Collaborated

  • Negotiated

  • Organized

  • Trained

  • Implemented

  • Presented

  • Reviewed
