Resume Tips

Step one to getting a job is to create a resume that stands out. On average, a job opening attracts 250 resumes, but only 4­–6 of these will be called for an interview. We cannot stress enough the importance of a strong resume. 

 

Quick Resume Tips

  • Make sure previous roles are in the past tense.

  • Provide specific, numerical examples of your experience to demonstrate its impact or success.

  • Keep it one page, or 2 pages max.

  • Use consistent formatting and font.

  • Our preferred format for listing positions is:

Line One: Title

Line Two: Company Name, Location. 

Date to the far right.

  • Make it error free! Triple check spelling, grammar and punctuation.

  • At the top include email, phone number, and LinkedIn. Don’t add full address or picture.

  • List education at the bottom if it’s been over a year since graduating.

  • Avoid writing in paragraph form and use bullet points.
