Job Hunter Tips from the USAE Career Letter!

A clear, concise resume can be your ticket to landing a sought-after job. Here is the first installment of resume-related tips.

Keep it simple: Use a simple, clear design. Flashy resumes can suggest a lack of experience and will not give you an advantage over other applicants.
Go into detail: Do not list only your job title, include responsibilities and accomplishments that will demonstrate your strengths and ability to meet this new position’s demands.
Work history: If you have a short employment history, or limited experience in the field you are applying, include other positions. They can help to show that you have worked for others, show up on time and can fulfill responsibilities.

It is sometimes hard to determine whether to stress your education or past employment experience in your resume. Here are some tips:
- If you have more than five years of work experience, experts recommend listing education after experience. Employers are more likely to be interested in your career accomplishments.
- GPA: If you are a student or recent graduate, include your GPA if it’s higher than 3.0. If your school’s scale differs from the standard 4.0 scale, be sure to list the scale as well.
- Honors: Include academic honors to support your GPA
Consider using numbers to help your resume stand out from other potential applicants. Here are some tips to help draw some extra attention to your accomplishments.
- Use numbers to help identify the degree of difficulty in the task you are describing. For example, “Made 10-20 sales calls per day” sounds better than “Responsible for calling potential clients.”
- If there are ways you’ve saved money, earned money or managed money in previous positions, be sure to include them in your resume.
- If the position you are applying for has deadline-related responsibilities, use time-oriented entries to show you can handle the pressure.
