Formatting a Resume

When creating your resume, it’s best to keep it to one page. Be concise and consider which parts of your resume are relevant to the position you’re applying for; you don’t have to list everything.

If you’re unsure of how to structure your resume, templates are often available through programs like Microsoft Word, Google Docs, and more! It’s best to use a simple layout and font which should be between 10-12 points. While you want your resume to be simple and professional, it should also stand out from other applicants. You can make your resume more memorable by adding a unique design element or even just a pop of color.

Your experiences should be listed in reverse chronological order, meaning that your most recent experience is towards the top of the page. 

If your work experience does not relate directly to the position you’re applying for, make transferable skills the focus of your bullet points. You can also include a summary statement at the top of your resume to explain why you would be a good fit for the position.

Look at the keywords and descriptions in a job posting, this will tell you what businesses are looking for in a candidate. If you have those skills, make sure to include the keywords in the experience or skills section. 

Many companies don’t expect you to put your address on your resume but do make sure your contact information (phone number and email address) are visible on the page.
