Consider a résumé as a virtual first impression and proper introduction. Make sure it tells a compelling story to the reader.

It’s okay if your résumé is more than one page in length. Include the details that are most relevant and most important, even if it carries over to two pages.

Use metrics/data where you can to be able to show the value you added to a specific project or organization.

MaMake sure you tie your skills and experiences to what’s listed in the job description. It is considered good practice to have different versions of your résumé, in which each one is tailored to the specific position you apply to.

WHAT WE RECOMMEND TO STAND OUT

THE BUILDING BLOCKS OF YOUR RÉSUMÉEDUCATION: This section should include your school(s), program(s), graduation date(s) and any relevant coursework if applicable.

EXPERIENCE: This is the “meat” of your résumé detailing previous educational and professional experience, as well as leadership roles.

SKILLS / EXTRAS: Use this area to share any professional affiliations, relevant extracurriculars, volunteer work, or special skills—especially those that align with the job posting.

Consider developing an objective statement if you are at the entry level or if you’re changing your career.

This should be a short, targeted statement clearly outlining your career aspirations, as well as positioning you as a strong fit for the employer.

Be specific, not generic. Show that you know who you are and that you’ve done your research on the employer.
