Creating a Strong Resume
A resume is a marketing document.
Create a clean, polished layout that demonstrates your written communication skills while also describing your skills and experience.
Customize!
Tailor your resume to each position. Look at the job requirements listed in the posting and customize your resume to address as many of those areas as possible. Use key words and actions words that correlate with the posting.
Keep it Short
1 page.
Highlight Social Media Skills
Social media savvy is the top skill cited in the internship postings in this field. Be sure you include every platform you are comfortable using (Twitter, YouTube, Facebook, Snapchat, etc.) Check out the Most Listed Skills post for more.
Use Consistent Verb Tenses
Choose one verb tense and stick with it, unless the job is one that you are still doing. In that case use the present tense.
Avoid Personal Pronouns
“I designed some new lunch menus” > change to: “Designed new menus”.
Edit
Triple check spelling/grammar/formatting. Minor errors will land an otherwise great candidate resume in the trash.
