3 Tips to Create a Great Resume!
- Use a template!
Whether you’re using Microsoft Office, Google Docs, Pages or Canva, using a template will save you time. You can take this one step further by creating a Master Resume. This will be a running document that focuses on your skills, education, work-experience. That way, you can copy and paste your information into a Resume Template, so you can better customize the finished resume you’re sending out. - Be careful with colour!
No matter where you apply, the resume must be easy to read, so avoid making your headings too light of colour, and definitely avoid using hard to read fonts. Make sure the background is white, and black or blue as your main text. If you must have a highlight colour, use it sparingly and be sure that it’s easy to glance at and read. Blank space is important, as it draws attention directly to the text on the page, so be sure you use size 12-14 with your font, and have generous line spacing. - Save as One Page PDF
This one could be a little tricky while condensing down your life’s experience into 1 page. But the goal is to have your Skills, Education and Experience on the front of the page, and if you have 2 pages, to print it out double sided, with a small footer noting that the resume continues on the other side. Saving as PDF makes sure your prospective employer can quickly open your resume and make a decision to reach out.
