Resume Best Practices

On average, our team spends 3-5 minutes reviewing each resume. Here are some best practices to keep in mind while customizing your resume for our consideration:

  • Consider a cover letter or professional summary: A well-written letter, or professional summary on your profile can help set you apart from other candidates.
  • Tighten your resume: Try to keep your resume two pages or less, relevancy is key.   
  • Review before sending: This simple, but necessary step, will help you notice any errors or repetition. Plus, it will give you a general idea of how your experience may be perceived.
