Over the years, many wise people have said you never get a second chance to make a good first impression. When job seeking, this saying is particularly applicable. Constructing an impressive resume in the proper fashion is one of the most valuable things you can learn how to do in life. Below are just a few basic resume tips that are important to remember when building a resume:
· Don't overcrowd your resume. You are not writing a biography on your life, so keep it simple, brief and clean.
· Use a legible font.
· Keep the font color black.
· Keep your resume to one-page if you can.
· Upon gaining more work experience, if you must have a multi-paged resume, print on one-side only.
· Avoid using more than two font sizes on your resume.
· It is unnecessary to include references in your resume-Unless instructed specifically to do so by an employer, do not do it.
· Avoid Spelling Mistaks (ß like that one)-make sure you carefully read every word on your resume and perform spell check on the finished product.
· Have a friend proof read your resume.
· Be honest and expect to be asked about anything you have on your resume.
· If you are having any problems putting your resume together, come to CAREER SERVICES and we'll assist you!
