"Between trying to ensure your layout is right, choosing the accolades you want to include, and even selecting the right font, it's best to avoid putting unnecessary stress on yourself when it comes to creating your resume. But look at it from this perspective: your resume is your first impression, a way to really review the accomplishments you have made, and a way to really show out and make a recruiter say, "I need to hire this person.""
"Your resume doesn't need a whole bunch of designs. Employers love a clean, easy-to-read layout. Stick to the classics when it comes to fonts like Calibri, Arial, or, of course, Times New Roman, and keep the font size between 10-12 points. Pro advice: Before sending it out, you can send it as a PDF, so your layout always looks clean and professional."
"Always make your header straightforward and clear Professional email (I recommend your student email if you can) LinkedIn/Handshake profile, if you have one If you're a creative like me and are interested in creative roles, attaching your portfolio or even your business website, if you have one, can set clear intentions on your resume A summary of your resume is like your business elevator pitch What you have to offer is summed up in two or three sentences."
A resume should be concise, clean, and easy to read with classic fonts (Calibri, Arial, Times New Roman) at 10-12 points, and saved as a PDF to preserve formatting. Include a clear header with a professional email and LinkedIn/Handshake links and a portfolio or website for creative roles. Add a two-to-three sentence professional summary that functions as an elevator pitch. Use action verbs, quantify accomplishments, and tailor experience and sections to the position. List education, relevant skills, and extracurriculars. Proofread carefully, use consistent formatting, and consider career services templates.
