Last month I shared some pro tips on how to build a rock-solid resume. You can read that article here. Your resume is your calling card and what you include or don’t include tells a story. You want to make sure it is clean, concise, and accurate.
It can be time consuming to scour the Internet to find a resume that you like. Then, once you do find something that looks like a good fit, there’s nothing worse than realizing it is in a locked pdf or jpg format.
To save you time, I’m sharing my current favorite resume template here in this download. When there is a lot of content to share, I decrease the font size on the candidate’s name, section headings and job headings to allow for more room.
Remember, the “Needle Movers” are key. Your ability to draft and include impressive bullet points that describe in detail how you positively impacted your current/former employer’s bottom line can be the difference between an okay resume and a great resume.
Friendly Reminders
- For dates, use month and year
- Don’t forget to include job locations (city and state)
- Education may include classes, workshops, and/or other types of training
- Activities may include volunteer work, hobbies, awards, or anything you have accomplished along the way
- Don’t be afraid to include a touch of personal information in that last section
- Don’t be afraid to go to a second page
- Don’t list your entire job description
- Dates for education not necessary
- Lastly, a resume should be 100% factual. Do not embellish facts or play with dates.
- No quicker way to disqualify yourself than to be caught in a small white lie on a resume.
