Avoid vague words like helped; use more engaging words like facilitated, managed, conceptualized, or organized. These words show leadership and also show that you have an expansive vocabulary- another great skill!
• Your specific contributions are just as important as the title of the job. Don’t say, “Was re- sponsible for selling clothing.” Saying what you were supposed to do doesn’t necessarily mean that you did it. Instead, write something like “Improved customer satisfaction by X percent.” This says you are a valuable asset and shows your responsibility rather than telling it.
• Keep your resume on one page. Unless the second page will really astound the potential employer, there is no reason to create more than a one-page resume. This helps the readability of the resume and allows the potential employer to quickly glance through it.
• In addition to jobs, list all of your achievements, awards, community service, and activities. All of these merits show great dedication and motivation. These should be separated from your education and towards the bottom of your resume.
• Create margins that separate the categories of your resume. The resume should be format- ted into columns based on the job, location, and dates you worked at the place of business. 3 Op-ed page
