Your resume is the first and far most important document towards getting the job that you want! Some recruiters receive hundreds of resume per day and getting your resume to stand out among them can be challenging. Your resume should be a well-organized profile of your qualifications for a career; it should also communicate enough information to an employer to keep them interested!
The experts at TorontoJobs.ca have come up with some suggestions to write an effective resume:
- Writing with Style: Font size of the text throughout the resume should be 12 point and either Times New Roman or Arial style. Use 1 inch margins at the top and bottom and sides of your resume. Try to avoid using horizontal or vertical lines, graphics, or shading. If you’re mailing your resume, try to put it in an envelope that doesn’t require you to fold it. Try to avoid overusing italics, scripts and underlined words.
- Use Effective Vocabulary: Define all experiences with as many actions words as possible, such as accomplished, delegated, achieved, conducted, coordinated, organized, etc.
