The Résumé Architects

Employment Interview Tip #1.

Happy Valentine’s Day!

Important: Recruiters have hundreds of résumés to sift through. Make yours stand out and keep it concise!

What Makes a Great Resume? If you’re struggling to get your resume noticed, it’s time to add some soul into it. Don’t treat it like a document with laundry list of your responsibilities and successes. Rather, work on converting it into a document that conveys what truly motivates you as a professional. Start by creating...

Being keenly aware of the organization’s mission and values will give you a leg up on your fellow candidates!

If you show up on-time, you are late! 😃

Experience
☐ List your experience/employment history in reverse chronological order. In simple terms, in order but backwards. Lol.
☐ Highlight accomplishment and key responsibilities If you got it, let them know about it!
☐ Back up your achievements with figures, percentages, and data where possible.
☐ Do not lie about your experiences and skills. Employers will ask questions and nothing looks worse than someone who doesn’t know what the hell they’re talking about. It’s okay to overdramatize your position, just make sure you can back it up.

Résumé 4️⃣1️⃣1️⃣, Part 5️⃣.

Education and Training
☐ List your education and training in reverse chronological order. Meaning, most recent first.
☐ Include all formal education.
☐ Detail all certificates, qualifications, and additional education.
(If you are a student, place this section before your employment history.)
☐ Always include the highest degree, plus the one below. Others before that are optional. I personally only use the two most recent degrees.
☐ Include your GPA if it is above 3.5.
☐ Clinicals Rotations/Internships... Include them! You never know if your prospective employer knows someone who knows someone who knows the person you precepted with.

Side Note: This meme was me in my Freshman year of college for Human Growth and Development. Went to class 4 times out of 32 class sessions, and still got an A. Lol. That was the last time I ever signed up for an 8am class! Haha.
