For most of us, resume is where the process of change and transition begins. You write it summarizing your experience, contributions, skills and education. It is used as the first point of contact and reference by your prospective employers. While each of our experiences and careers vary each of the resumes could benefit from some fundamental guidelines.
- Format: keep it clean, consistent, professional and submit it as a PDF
- Contact: name, phone and e-mail (without descriptors)
- Color: black or dark blue on white background works
- Length: list only relevant experience for the job you are applying to
- Keywords: match your resume with the job description
