Recruiters don’t have time to search your resume for information, so they appreciate familiar formats.
Resume templates become increasingly difficult to edit with time, so it’s best to start with a blank page and look at sample resumes (pdf). Just be sure to describe the experience in terms that make its relevance clear. In addition to jobs, internships, UROPS or leadership roles, consider including class projects, competitions or even personal projects. Remember: experience comes in many forms. Look at the skills required for the position and select experiences where you demonstrated those skills. While you might keep a ‘master resume’ detailing all your experiences and awards, when applying for a job you want to build a resume that targets a specific position or employer. Use the position description to decide what to include.
Schedule an appointment with a career advisor to ensure it will be effective. Recruiters spend just a few seconds on average looking at a resume so it is crucial to use a format that makes relevant information immediately visible.Ī good resume can help you land an interview, but even minor errors can take you out of the running. Your resume provides an overview of your experience and is often an employer’s first impression of you.
