Friday Faves – Resume Tips

It is time for Friday Faves where we share tips and best practices from the industry. Today we have some helpful resume tips that will help your resume hit all of the right notes.

🔹This is your chance to sell yourself, so SELL. Brag and include high performing achievements as first the bullet point of each job.
🔹Uniform/readability (Font, Size, Margins)
🔹Tailor the resume, cover letter and objective to the job you’re applying to.
🔹No Clipart, words in margins, or pictures
🔹Be descriptive and to the point but not overly wordy (hiring managers take a good 60 seconds max in their initial review of a resume).
🔹Use stats, numbers or percentages if possible to show growth or size of projects & teams.
🔹Limit each job to 3-5 key bullet points.
