While working on your resumes, remember the following tips! Remember first impressions matter when reading a resume Keep your resume simple, concise, and visually appealing Try to avoid overcrowding with the proper alignment of white space Make it action oriented Focus on facts and figures by quantifying accomplishments Use words that convey results Use strategically selected words that pertain to the industry Source: Indiana University, Kelley School of Business Undergraduate Career Services: https://ucso.indiana.edu/cgi-bin/index.cfm

Check your resume. Check it again. Lather, rinse, repeat. Is your resume easy to read? Did you use bullet points and bold type to highlight key strengths? Is information listed in order of importance to the position? Does it focus on your strengths and accomplishments rather than your duties and tasks? Does your objective show that you have direction? Is your contact information (name, address, city, state, zip, phone number, email address) at the top? Did you check your spelling, punctuation, and grammar?
