Résumés

Your résumé is the first impression you make with a prospective employer.

It is important that you ensure all of your spelling and grammar is correct. Your formatting also makes an impression; be consistent in how you lay out your roles and how you separate different parts of your résumé. For example, if you are using bullet points for your duties, do this for every role and use the same style of bullet point for every role.

Résumés are documents that get added to over time, and it is these additions that commonly cause inconsistencies. Prior to submitting your résumé, check it each and every time to make sure it is a cohesive, polished document that represents your professionalism and attention to detail.
