Here are a few additional tips to remember while building your resume:
Be actionable! Don’t just state your job description, tell your future employer what you DID in your previous roles, the key duties and responsibilities you held.
Don’t limit yourself to work- or school-related experience alone. Any related activities that demonstrate leadership and related skills are important to include!
Don’t list too much information. Highlight key areas of most importance.
Customize your resume, when applicable, for the job you are applying for. What classes or work experience is related to the job you are applying for? Take out any unrelated information.
Keep your resume concise and limited to one page.
Good Luck!
