I 1. Include relevant contact information. This is extremely important because you want a potential employer to be able to contact you if they wish to set up an interview! If you start sending out applications while you are still living at school but you know you are moving home immediately after graduation, put your home address on there. Also, make sure your email and cell phone number are easily visible because they will more than likely get a hold of you this way. You don’t want an employer to pass you up because your contact information was not easily accessible.
2. 2. Include specific information. When listing your past experience whether it be an internship or job you have held, or courses and projects you have completed while in school, be specific. Lay out exactly what tasks you were given, what you learned, and what you are capable of doing. Employers want to know EXACTLY what your skills are.
3. 3. Keep the formatting easy to read. You want your resume to be a visual representation of yourself and employers will think of it this way. You do not want it looking cluttered, unorganized or hard to read. Keep the font simple and the text size readable, and make sure the different sections are easily set apart from each other. You want your resume to look as polished as you will look in person when you come in for that interview!
