Resume Writing Tips

A strong resume is targeted, concise, and results-oriented. Tailor your resume for each position by highlighting the experience and skills most relevant to the job description. Use action verbs like "developed," "managed," "increased," and "implemented" to describe your accomplishments. Whenever possible, quantify your achievements with specific numbers, such as "increased sales by 25%" or "managed a team of 12 engineers."

Keep your resume to one page if you have less than 10 years of experience, or two pages for extensive career histories. Place your most recent and relevant experience first (reverse chronological order). The professional summary at the top should immediately communicate your value proposition to the hiring manager without requiring them to read the entire document.

Before downloading your final PDF, proofread everything carefully. Spelling errors and inconsistent formatting are among the top reasons resumes are rejected. Ask someone else to review your resume for errors you might have missed. Ensure your contact information is current and that dates, job titles, and company names are accurate. A polished, error-free resume demonstrates the attention to detail that employers value.
