Mastering Your Resume

Your resume is your first impression with potential employers. Here’s what to avoid:

  • Typos and Grammar Mistakes: These are huge red flags for employers. Always proofread, and even better, get a second opinion.
  • Overcomplicating Your Format: Keep it simple and easy to read. Avoid long paragraphs—bullet points work best.
  • Outdated Information: Remove old jobs and outdated skills. Focus on your most relevant experience.

How to Tailor Your Resume for Different Roles

Every job is unique, and so should be your resume. When applying:

  • Customize your Summary: Tailor your career summary to reflect the specific skills and experience relevant to the job.
  • Highlight Key Skills: Job descriptions often list key skills—make sure yours match.
  • Keywords Matter: Applicant tracking systems (ATS) scan resumes for specific keywords, so include terms used in the job listing.
