Top 5 Resume Writing Tips !

We’ve gathered here for you today a couple of the most important RESUME WRITING TIPS out there. They might seem simple at first, but they make a big difference!

      

     1. Write a functional resume: A functional resume is basically a list of your skills and talents on the job. This is different than a Chronological Resume, which lists your jobs by date and employers. A Functional Resume is perfect if you’ve had a break in between jobs and draws attention to your STRENGTHS rather than your job history.

      2.  Check the format: Is your name in a bigger font than the rest of the resume? Can you easily read your phone number and address? Employers don’t want to search around for your contact information; make it clear.  

      3. Is the resume clean? Basically, is the paper crumpled, stained, torn? In some cases all the employer sees is your resume and equals their image of you. Make the presentation nice and clean…just like you!

     4. Proofread. Proofread. Proofread: THIS IS SO IMPORTANT. WE CANNOT STRESS THIS ENOUGH. SPELL CHECK ISN’T ALWAYS RIGHT! Show it to your family and friends for a second opinion!

      5. There is no perfect resume: Use your resume to show who you are. Every employer is different and is looking for different things. Don’t forget to work your network and try to connect with people you know!
