Resume Tips

Things to Remember When Creating Your Resume


1. Emails - Always Keep your email updated and professional. And never, under any circumstances should you ever have an unprofessional email listed on your resume.

The contact section of your resume is one of the most important, if not the most important information to add to your resume, as it’s essential for getting calls for job interviews. An inappropriate email address could leave a poor impression, leading employers to question your eligibility for the position.

A basic, concise, and up-to-date email address helps you seem more reputable and increases your chances of being acknowledged by hiring managers.

2. Skills Section- Although you may have obtained skills from other industries, be sure to only highlight your specific skills that are tailored to the actual job description that you are applying for.

An appealing resume requires you to modify your skills section to the job description. By showcasing relevant skills associated with the position, you demonstrate your understanding of the job's requirements and how you can contribute successfully.

This focused approach captures the attention of hiring managers, enhancing your chances of being called for an interview and proving your eligibility for that position.

3. Experience Section- Only include jobs on your resume that are relevant to the actual jobs that you are seeking. Other irrelevant jobs should be omitted from your resume.
​
The work experience section is your opportunity to make an impact on recruiters, therefore prioritize transparency and accuracy by writing prior experience that is relevant to the position you are applying for. Highlight your achievement and rewards to stand out from the rest of the applicants.
 
By doing so, you can convince employers that you have a successful track record in the required field and the ability to significantly contribute to the company.
