Here are some great tips for you while you are working on your resume to make sure your resume stands out from others.

• Look for key words in job descriptions and see how you can incorporate those words into your resume.
• Use a professional font when creating your resume. A basic font makes it easier for the person reviewing your resume to read. Ensure that the font is the same throughout your resume.
• Put your most recent experience towards the top of your resume. This position should also show how that position relates to the position that you are applying to.
• Proofread your resume multiple times. This can help make sure that you catch any mistakes prior to sending it to the company that you are applying to. You may also want to consider having another person look at it so that can make any suggestions of things that could be changed.
• Make sure your contact information is up to date. Ensure that you put your phone number and email on the top of your resume.
• Mix up the words that you use. You may do the same task at multiple jobs that you have had. Try to switch it up the way you say it so that it is not all the same.
• Try not to include short-term jobs. For example, say you had a job for a month or two to help while you searched for another job. Try not to include that in your resume if possible. It may appear to an employer that you have an unstable job history.
• Make sure that you properly name the document prior to sending it out. Try to make it be your first name and last name with the word resume. For example, “Johnathan Smith Resume”.
