Ag Employability Skills Resumes Tips & Mistakes

Tips for an Effective Resume Forget the extra fancy stuff –stick to the important info –avoid too small of print (12+) Keep it simple and hard hitting –avoid “flowery” language –using technical jargon is OK

Tips for an Effective Resume Use action words –strong verbs & adjectives (improved, planned, redesigned) Experience & education –start with most recent; then go back

Tips for an Effective Resume Career objectives –use wisely or don’t use at all –poorly worded or tightly focused objectives can do more harm than good

Tips for an Effective Resume Pages & paper –1 pg is ideal; 2 pgs maximum –use standard 8 1/2 x 11 paper –do not fold; creases are not impressive and may make text hard to read
