It outlines typical length, content scope, and common formatting approaches for resumes versus CVs, then emphasizes consistency, white-space, margins, font sizing, and professional presentation. Guidance includes quantifying achievements, using bold section headers, and applying the S.T.A.R. method to describe experience with action verbs and correct tense, plus checklist items for contact details, skills, and proofreading. Recommended sections and reference resources are provided.","Resume and CV Resource Guide  \nHow resumes and CVs differ:  \nResume  \n✓ Short and concise ( 1-2 pages)✓ Relevant information; customized ✓ Often used for industry jobs ✓ Bullet points, not sentences ✓ Objective/Summary/ Profile  \nCV  \n✓ Longer (often 4+ pages)✓ All training, background, experience ✓ Often used for academic positions ✓ Short paragraphs about projects ✓ Can provide references  \nHow resumes and CVs are similar:  \n➔ Make good use of white space and have at least 1” margins ➔ Use 11-12 point font. Sans serif is easier on the eye ➔ Quantify achievements, if possible  \n➔ Use bold font to draw attention to section headers  \n➔ Use the S.T.A. R. Method to describe your experience: Situation, Task, Action, Result ➔ Start phrases, bullet points, and sentences with action verbs  \nBe consistent with your verb tense  \n➔ Identify and display transferable skills as related to the job posting  \n➔ Check with spelling and grammar  \n➔ Use a single professional email address ➔ Add Linked In or professional website URL if desired  \nRecommended Sections  \nIdentifying information-How do you want to be contacted?
