If you have alot of experiences, only include what is relevant to the position for which you are applying.  \nAVOID TEMPLATES/WIZARDS  \nRésumé templates or wizards may seem helpful, but it can be very hard to make changes or move things around when using one. It is important to customize your résumé to best represent your strengths. We recommend using a blank Word document that will give you the flexibility you need.  \nCUSTOM DESIGN YOUR RÉSUMÉ FOR EACH POSITION  \nYou should change your objective/summary with each position for which you apply, and if necessary, change the content and/or the format so that it best compliments each specific position.  \nCATCH THE READER'S EYE  \nReaders prefer statements that begin with bullets, bold print, and indentions to guide their eyes quickly to the main points. Stick to one font so that your résumé doesn’t look cluttered and organize the information so that it is visually appealing and easy to follow.  \nACCENTUATE THE POSITIVE  \nYour résumé is the first impression most employers will have of you, and how well you write indicates what type of employee you might be. Highlight accomplishments, not mere duties. Don't just list what you did; show how you contributed to the organization. Quantify your statements with numbers, statistics, and percentages when possible.  \nUSE ACTION VERBS  \nMost of the résumé is devoted to accomplishment statements. These statements should begin with action verbs (e.g. , created, delegated, developed) because they are more engaging than passive verbs (e.g. , took, had) . For activities you are currently engaged in, use present tense verbs (e.g. , supervise, develop, implement) . For past activities, use past tense verbs (e.g. , supervised, developed, implemented) .  \nDO NOT INCLUDE  \nDo not include religion, race, gender, marital status, height/weight, birthplace, date of birth, or a photograph. High school information should only be included if you are applying for an internship and/or it is relevant.  \nHELPFUL TIPS!  \n• Be consistent with fonts, dates, margins, and tabs.  \n• Use a professional email address.  \n• Be brief and succinct in your descriptions.  \n• Use an easy to read font (10 to 14 pt. font) .  \n• Name should be the only text bigger than 10 – 14 pt. font (up to 18 or 20 pt. font size is sufficient) .  \n• Do not go overboard with bold, underline, and italics.  \n• Spell things out (followed by its acronym in parentheses) .  \n• Remember to write to the reader – What is important to them? What are they interested in?  \n• A GPA of 3.0 and above is considered competitive and can be listed. A GPA below 3.0 should never be listed, unless specifically asked for by the entity/company to which you are applying.  \n• Once you’re finished writing your résumé, put it away for a day; then PROOFREAD it again!  \nResume Section Headers  \nStart with your name at the top of your résumé, including your contact information ([e.g. phone](e.g. phone) number, email address) .  \nNext, you will need to decide which section headers are best to showcase your strengths and are consistent with the position to which you are applying. In most cases, you will have a section for Education and a section for Work Experience. If you are applying for a technical position, it may be important to include a section for Technical Skills. In other cases, Community Service or Campus Involvement may be significant enough to warrant a section. Keep in mind, you don’t want to have too many sections; four to five are usually sufficient.  \nUnder most section headers, information is organized in rev","cbCaifQICTRaGqfQ","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaifQICTRaGqfQ","pdf",422713,13,"English","# General Resume Guidelines\n## Length and Relevance\n## Avoid Templates\n## Customization and Visual Clarity\n## Achievements and Action Verbs\n## What Not to Include\n## Helpful Formatting Tips\n# Resume Section Headers\n## Common Section Headers\n## Additional Section Headers","[{\"question\":\"How long should a résumé be for most students?\",\"answer\":\"A one-page résumé is sufficient for most students.
