Resume Tips

Make it clear and easy to read.

Be complete - there is no "right" length.

Use the same font throughout - you can change the font size and visual attributes, but don't use different fonts.

Take a look at the "whole picture" - is there any white holes or empty spots?

Use a good bond paper in a light shade (use plain white if faxing).

Get it proofread by the Career Services Office, a friend, a relative, a prof, etc. Others will pick up grammatical and spelling errors that you may not see.

Attend a resume writing workshop at the Career Services Office.
