The purpose of the resume is to get you an interview.\u003Cbr>Most employers take between 8 and 30 seconds to scan over a resume, so make sure your resume is brief and well-organized. Focus on the employer’s needs and only include information that is relevant.\u003Cbr>When reviewing your resume, the employer is looking specifically for the qualities you bring to the position. Keep this in mind as you describe each of your experiences.\u003Cbr>A resume is a flexible document that you can change or adapt for each job or internship you apply for, making each copy specific to employer needs. Don’t forget to proofread for typos, spelling, consistency, and grammar.\u003Cbr>Content\u003Cbr>􀁸 Try to keep it to one page. If you need more pages, write full pages. Half pages make your resume look incomplete. Make sure employers can learn as much about you as possible in the short time they spend reviewing your resume. Write in bullet points NOT paragraphs.\u003Cbr>􀁸 Headings: some resume headings are standard, but your goal should be to develop a resume that is unique for you.
