Key Considerations in Writing Your Resume

The WorkPlus team will guide you in how to best present your experience and qualifications for the jobs you are seeking. And they can help you format your resume for traditional printing and online submission.

At least call on a WorkPlus career counselor to review and critique your resume before you send it out.
​
Here are other considerations:

• Include a clear objective, stating which position you are seeking and a few key details about you and what you have to offer
• Customize your resume for each type of job for which you are applying.  One resume does not fit all, as not all of your skills will apply equally to every job. Spotlight the skills and achievements that are most relevant to each positio
• Use action verbs to describe your accomplishments, and keep your resume short and simple—one to two pages.
• Ask someone to proofread your resume for typos and clarity. It’s easy to read past mistakes in something you’ve written.
• Use professional resume paper. And never photocopy a copy of your resume; it will look unprofessional.
• Make your contact information easy to find—at the top of the resume.
