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.
  • Begin your descriptions with a verb and do not repeat verbs 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.
  • Print on quality bond paper.
