RESUME WRITING

resume is a one to two page summary of your skills, abilities, work experience, education, and accomplishments.

It is designed to provide a detailed summary of an applicant’s qualifications for a particular job while emphasizing your best professional attributes to get you past the first screen and into an interview. Utilize the job description provided by the employer to match your transferable skills to the job you're applying to.

When composing your resume, words or phrases such as, "Responsible for," "Handled," or "Managed" are outdated and discouraged. There are far more creative and compelling action verbs to use in describing your experiences, words that will boost your resume to the top of the pile. Check out the lists below to guide you in making your resume more attention-grabbing and exciting.
