Summary

guidance on how to choose content that highlights your value as a candidate. Here are my comments and recommendations for you: Summary When preparing this section, keep your ideal position in mind. Create a summary that shows how your background and abilities will transfer and be valuable in your new job. This summary statement is a great start but could be improved to better highlight your experience and value as a candidate. Focus on convincing hiring professionals why you are the right person for this job. It would help to add some additional information and reach an ideal 3 -5 sentences, but avoid extra wording and information not related to the target position.

Additional Information

  • It's often difficult to decide what to write for job descriptions. One strategy is to think in terms of how you made a difference. Describe what impact you had, what you changed or what you improved while in the position. Your experience bullets include valuable information, but extra attention to this section will strengthen your resume. It's important to weave in keywords from job advertisements you've researched. For example, you may want to include software proficiencies, equipment use and skills most applicable to the job you're seeking. Here are some questions to ask yourself to help identify what experience would be beneficial: What would your manager say were your strengths? What projects did you work on? What were the results? Did you manage others, work on a team or serve customers? What did you accomplish? Education Use this section to highlight your formal education and degrees for the hiring manager. You also can add in awards, courses, projects, and extracurriculars, but focus on the ones that are most related to your target job. Keep it clear, scannable, and relevant. If you have a list of additional training and credentials to include on your resume, such as apprenticeships, licenses, or certifications, create a separate section for them. If you have only one, this is a good place to add it and get it noticed. Grammar Remember to proofread your resume carefully at least twice before submitting it to potential employers. Don't rely solely on spellcheck, as it may miss some errors. Any grammar mistake, no matter how small, can negatively impact your chances of securing an interview.
