Important Resume Tips to Remember
- You have less than 10 seconds to impress an employer
- Ensure the first few bullet points in your Summary of Qualifications highlight exactly what the employer is looking for.
- You can find these key skills from the first few skills listed on the job description.
- If you have less than 3-5 years of experience, your resume should not be more than one page.
- In addition, if you have limited work experience, you can highlight your course and internship experiences under the Relevant Experience header.
Quick Tips on What to Avoid
- Firstly, career objectives are no longer relevant
- This section is not useful to employers. Employers want to know right away how you are a good fit for the job. Don’t use precious resume space to write about your job interest. You want to immediately show them how you match what they need.
- Also, do not include reference information as the HR department will contact you about that.
- Writing generic bullet points
- If your job position title was omitted and we only looked at your job bullet points, do these points sound generic?
- Instead: Quantify your experiences as much as you can. List numbers, systems, databases and software to create specific bullet points. This will showcase your uniqueness in comparison to other candidates.
