    More Resume Tips!!

    • Try to limit your resume to one page. Some companies will only review one page, so pertinent information needs to be first. If you have extensive work history, then limit it to two pages.
    • Use clear, concise descriptions of work experience.
    • Use action verbs to begin each statement.
    • Try to stay away from repetition of words. It could distract the reader.
    • Avoid the use of personal pronouns such as “I”, “He”, “She”, etc.
    • Proofread carefully. Check dates, names, locations, spelling, and structure. Read it several times and then have several others read it before submitting a final copy.
    • For additional help with resume writing for your major, make an appointment to see a career counselor. Bring a rough draft of your resume to your appointment.
    • Font size 10 to 12 is recommended.
    • Use quality bond paper in a neutral color such as white, ivory, or light gray.
