12RESUME WRITING TIPS
• Pay careful attention to spelling, punctuation, grammar, and style.
• Proofread your resume carefully. Also, have several other people proof read your resume.
• Organize information in a logical fashion. The Resume Worksheet can help you with your
organization of material.
• Keep descriptions clear and to the point – try to stay under 12 words.
• As an associate or bachelor degree holder, you will most likely only need a one-page resume.
• Use a simple and easy to read font. We suggest Times New Roman or Arial.
• Use a good quality white or off-white bond paper.
• Include as much work experience as possible – even if it does not obviously relate to the job
you are seeking. Any job has transferable skills (i.e. computer skills, writing, speaking, etc.)
• Tailor your information to the job you are seeking.
• Be honest – don’t exaggerate.
• Be specific and give examples. Provide numbers (i.e. # of people supervised, amount of your
operating budget, etc.) whenever possible.
• Use simple, everyday language.
• Include dates whenever appropriate (i.e. dates of employment, activities, etc.)
• Write out what acronyms stand for because an employer may not know what they mean.
