Lately, a lot of our friends have been asking us for resume writing advice. We're all in different professions, but we pretty much agreed that there are a couple of important aspects to a resume that shouldn't be missed. Below are things we think you must have on your resume to make it stand out.
-Below your name and contact info, you should always have an objective listed. This objective should describe the type of job position you're looking for.
Example: Position within Marketing designed to administer to the growing demand of social media, where interpersonal skills, economics, and communication can be used to create sales.
-Keep your resume to one page as often times recruiters don't have time to look through all pages of your resume. Therefore, choose headers that can really showcase how you're qualified for the position.
Examples of headers referenced in our resumes were: educational experience, professional experience, leadership experience, organizations & volunteer work, awards/honors.
-Use action verbs to describe what you've done. Complete the sentence by applying the result of your actions.
Example of an incomplete sentence: Maintained underprivileged gym. Example of a completed sentence: Maintained underprivileged gym THAT resulted in high activity retention from the children.
Leave your resume to fully showcase you!
