- Don’t be shy: Be sure to highlight your achievements in your education and in every position you’ve ever had.
- Don’t use acronyms: The use of industry specific acronyms may be perceived as the hiding of real experience. Spell out your experience, fully.
- Keep it short: your resume should only be about a page long. Only list jobs or experiences that are relevant, or adjacent, to the position.
- Don’t lie: Be honest about your education, work experience and responsibilities. If you lie, you WILL be found out.
- Be Job Specific: If you really want the job, tailor your resume to the position or company you’re looking for.
- Highlight your education: Show the hiring manager you’ve graduated, been trained, or received certificates or licenses.
- Use a Cover Letter: This gives you an opportunity to tell your story and highlight how well you actually communicate.
- Use professional language and contact info: Be sure your grammar is tight, there are no spelling errors, and your email address isn’t lewd or vulgar.
