You have found a position you are interested in applying for, and want your resume to stand out from the other candidates. Resumes let the potential employer understand your job history, responsibilities, and skills. Here are some tips for your resume:

Keep the design simple – use bullet points and white space.

Select a font that is easy to read.

Create and save a format that can be e-mailed.

Use key words and titles from the ad and job description.

Prioritize the content of your resume.

Target your resume to each individual job.

Focus on achievements vs. responsibilities.

Don’t include irrelevant information.

Keep to one or two pages.

Have someone else review your resume, and give you feedback.

Proof, proof, proof.
