If your resume has been collecting digital dust, it's time for a refresh. Here are ten quick, practical tips.
- Big Yourself Up — don't undersell what you actually accomplished.
- Show Off Your Smarts — lead with the skills and results that matter most for the role.
- Keep It Pro — professional tone and formatting, even for casual industries.
- Skip the Tech Talk — avoid jargon a hiring manager outside your field wouldn't understand.
- Embrace Your Odd Jobs — unconventional experience often shows adaptability.
- Less Is More — cut anything that doesn't support the story you're telling.
- Customize, Customize, Customize — every application deserves a tailored resume.
- Start With a Bang — your summary should hook a reader in the first two lines.
- Keep It Real — exaggerating catches up with you in the interview.
- Don't Go It Alone — a second set of eyes catches what you can't see anymore.
