Helpful Hints
- Resume must be margin even: .75"- 1".
- Keep format consistent. Place titles, locations and dates aligned to
the left, right or center of the page.
- Your resume may be more than one page if the material it contains
is substance, rather than fluff.
- When you have a second page, include your name and page number
as a header.
- Always be factual and truthful.
- Be concise and accurate with your choice of action verbs.
- Select buzz words used in your profession and expand to describe
your experience.

in the same section. Use another word that means the
same (use a
thesaurus).
- Highlight only relevant achievements and accomplishments.
- Proofread your resume carefully before you submit to
an employer.
