How to Write a Resume

 

  • Be truthful. State your abilities accurately.
  • Target your audience. Highlight skills and activities relevant to the job.
  • Keep it brief. Limit your resume to one or two pages, and use fewer words for scannability.
  • Write and rewrite. Plan to write several versions of your resume before it feels right.
  • Be professional. Print your resume on high-grade paper using a quality printer.
  • Be accurate. Proofread your resume (and have a friend do the same) for any errors.
  • Follow up. Call or send a letter to the employer to restate your interest in the position.
