Formatting
It is essential to format your resume in a way that is clean, organized and easy to read. By using clear headings, a logical format, bullet points and select fonts to highlight important aspects of your resume, job seekers will be more likely to view the key points of your resume the first time through. Make sure your resume is grammatically correct and error-free.
Contact Information
One of the most important things to remember to include in your resume is your contact information. This usually includes your professional name, email and phone number. Providing your account links to your LinkedIn, social media, website or blog has also become extremely popular to show your online presence to recruiters.
Descriptions
Provide job descriptions that target the position you are seeking and show that you are qualified through professional experience. It is important to display your skills and what you may have accomplished within that position. Avoid using generic descriptions about your previous job, but rather explain what you actually did in that position that is relevant to the job you are seeking. Include the company name as well as the start and end dates.
Education
Don’t forget to add your educational development to your resume. Beginning with your most recent degree, list the institution, its location, the name of your degree, your major and or minor, your graduation year, and any honors associated with the degree.
