NOTE: I love my job. I haven’t even looked at my resume in ages. But I learned how to write a pretty decent resume, and you should too…
- My experience working for one month at HMV…probably not relevant.
- Get friends you trust who are smarter than you to look over your resume.
- Use descriptive words and business lingo. Instead of “flipped burgers”, say “facilitated food delivery systems through creative solution engineering.”
- No swears.
- No spelling or grammar errors. Seriously.
- Use a nice, read-able font. Like Comic Sans.
- One page, unless you are a million years old with assloads of experience.
- Write a few sentences up top describing who you are. Are you a marketing specialist? A fundraising guru? A customer service whiz?
- Tailor your resume, where possible, to the job you’re applying for. It’s worth the extra 5 minutes.
- Learn how to brag.
