Tips for Writing a Great Resume

 

Format

  • Use a font that is easy to read - Times New Roman, Arial or Helvetica are all good choices.
  • Font should never be smaller than 10 pt.
  • PROOF READ for spelling and grammatical errors.
  • Use standard 8.5 x 11 resume paper – white or off-white.
  • Margins should be set to 1 inch.
  • Be consistent - Dates, fonts and spacing should follow a specific pattern.
  • Keep your resume to one page. Many employers only read the front page.

Content

  • Include an objective statement.
  • List accomplishments for each position, not just job duties.
  • Don't go back too far! Include your most recent jobs, not necessarily every job you have had.
