How to Write a Good Resume?

Your resume is often the first impression you make on a recruiter, so make it count! A well-crafted resume showcases your skills and achievements, giving potential employers a clear picture of your capabilities. Below is a sample resume we recommend to help you stand out.

Some Tips for Writing a Good Resume:

• Use Action Verbs and Quantify Results
  Begin each point with powerful action verbs like managed, created, or increased, and include numbers where applicable to show measurable results.

• Focus on Achievements
  Highlight your accomplishments rather than just listing job duties. For example, instead of “Handled customer service,” write “Resolved customer issues, achieving a 95% satisfaction rate.”

• Tailor to the Job
  Customize your resume to match the job description by emphasizing relevant experience, skills, and achievements.

• Keep it Clear and Professional
  Use clear headings, reverse chronological order, and professional fonts such as Arial, Calibri, or Times New Roman.

• Be Concise
  Avoid long sentences. Use direct and simple language to ensure your resume is easy to read.

• Highlight Relevant Skills
  Include both hard skills (technical expertise) and soft skills (teamwork, communication) that align with the job requirements.

• Limit to 1-2 Pages
  Keep your resume brief and exclude outdated or irrelevant information.

• Proofread Carefully
  Double-check for spelling, grammar, and formatting errors to ensure professionalism.

• Use Job-Specific Keywords
  Incorporate keywords from the job posting to improve your chances of passing applicant tracking systems (ATS).

• Make it Scannable
  Use bullet points and avoid long paragraphs to make your resume easy to skim.

Additional Tips for Students:

• For students with mostly club experience: Highlight transferable skills like leadership, teamwork, event planning, or communication. Include quantifiable achievements such as increasing membership or organizing events with measurable impact.
• For students with a Low GPA: If your GPA is not a strong point, you can leave it out. Instead, emphasize certifications, online courses, technical skills, or language proficiency that demonstrate your expertise.
