Choose a Resume Design that is Easy To Read

Write concise sentences describing your skills, education and professional background. Put the most relevant accomplishments, skills and experiences at the beginning of your resume.

Describe Your Strengths

Describing your academic and professional accomplishments can be much more effective than merely listing your academic courses or job responsibilities. Your accomplishments provide a picture of your successes. If possible, mention specific project outcomes that will make you stand out.

Use Action Verbs

The use of action verbs and industry terminology can assist in effectively explaining your skills and accomplishments.

Review the Job Posting

Make sure that you are demonstrating how your experience meets the job qualifications and requirements. Read the qualifications and requirements closely and highlight key words listed in the job posting.

Proofread

Make sure to review grammar and spelling on your final document. Take a moment to read the resume out loud and correct any wording issues. It also helps to preview your final document after you have uploaded it to our website to make sure the formatting makes sense.
