Tips for resume writing:
Merriam-Webster’s dictionary defines a resume simply as a “summary” or “set of accomplishments.”
However, when it comes to finding the right job, a resume should be given very thoughtful consideration.
A resume provides an important opportunity to advertise and highlight your skills, experience, education and accomplishments,
as well as the chance to express your specific career goals. It is a first impression to potential employers.
Whether updating your resume for a new career or writing a resume for the first time, here are some essential tips to keep in mind:
Choose a simple, clean format and organize the content in an easy-to-read manner
Summarize your education, experience and accomplishments in a way that highlights the best and most relevant achievements and skills
Relate experience and skills to the job that you are targeting
Be clear, concise and proof read it to ensure that it is error-free
