Making A Resume
To get started on making your resume, there are five sections that must be featured (in order).
These are the basic details about you, like your name, email address, and phone number. They should be the first thing on the resume.
Next is a brief summary of your relevant work experience and skills. If you don’t have any noteworthy experience for the role, you can mention your career goals as objectives and include your applicable skillset.
Mention and provide brief descriptions of your work experience. Ideally, you should start with your most recent place of employment/project and end with the beginning of your professional history. Be sure to mention the duration of each employment. You can include any internships or volunteering you have done, especially if you don’t have sufficient work experience.
Highlight your proficiency in hard skills (technical skills like software) and soft skills (interpersonal skills like communication). Ensure to list your skills with applicable keywords that fit with the job description for the role.
Mention and date your educational experience, starting with your highest attained degree, achievements/awards, certifications, and extra-curricular participation (clubs, organizations).
