are a rock star or a superstar.

much? Did you lead or manage projects? Which ones?
6. STORYTELLING IN A RESUME

and punchy accomplishment stories.
● I did X and the result was Y; Make the claim and
provide the evidence/results.
7. POWER WORDS FOR RESUMES
● Solved; Managed; Developed; Presented; Completed;
Surpassed; Invented; Simplified; Initiated.
● Negotiated; Improved; Implemented; Overhauled;
Launched; Pioneered; Sold; Led; Generated.
8. KEYWORDS ON YOUR RESUME
● Job advertisements have specific keywords that
show what employers value or require.
● Naturally weave in few keywords on your resume;
Provide context or examples relating to keywords.
9. CLICHÉS TO AVOID
● Overused words to avoid: Results-driven; Team player;
Goal-oriented; Hard worker; Dynamic; Self-driven;
Highly motivated; People person.
● Bottom line thinker; Self-starter; Go-to person; Outside
the box thinker; Highly qualified; Extensive experience;
Detail oriented.
10. RESUME MISTAKES
● Spelling mistakes; tiny font size; using jargons; listing
responsibilities; not customizing your resume;
incorrect information; listing references; lying.
● Unprofessional email address; not using keywords;
poor layout and formatting; incorrect contact
information; including personal information.
11. RESUME WRITING TIPS
● Proofread resume; don’t use casual language; clean
layout and presentation; customize your resume for
the job you are applying for.
● Give examples of how you used your skills; read and
understand job requirements; have clearly labeled
section headings and good spacing.
12. RESEARCHING A COMPANY
● Why Research? To better target your resume and
cover letter; To be as knowledgeable about the
company as possible.
● What to Read: The company’s website, social media
pages, annual reports, mission, values, news, online
reviews and about the industry.
13. COMPLYING WITH ATS
● Most resumes will be scanned by Applicant Tracking
Systems (ATS). ATS’s can quickly screen resumes
using keywords, skills, abilities and qualifications.
● Use standard section headings e.g. work experience;
avoid images & tables; include keywords; spell check
resume; spell out acronyms; no headers and footers.
14. TYPES OF RESUME FORMATS
● Reverse Chronological
● Functional/Skills-Based Resume
● Combination of Chronological & Functional
15. REVERSE CHRONOLOGICAL
● Most common resume format. Shows your career
path and growth/progression in an easy to follow
manner.
● Sequentially lists work experience and
accomplishments starting with recent experience and
proceeding backwards listing previous jobs.
16. FUNCTIONAL/SKILLS-BASED
● Prominently lists the key skills that you have. All your
work experience and accomplishments are
categorized under each respective skill.
● Used when you have gaps in employment, little work
experience, held a lot of unrelated jobs, trying to
change your career and showing transferable skills.
17. COMBINATION/HYBRID
● Combination of Chronological and Functional. Lists
job positions and segments each job based on key
skills e.g. analytical skills, decision making etc.
● Major accomplishments are listed under respective
skills. You then repeat the process for the other jobs
that you have held in the past.
18. RESUME LENGTH
● A resume can ideally be between 1 to 3 pages.
Depending on how much work experience you have
and key achievements to include.
● Nowadays, you can keep your resume brief and also
have a detailed online professional profile and include
the link to your profile on your resume.
19. RESUME CHECKLIST
● Is your name included? Are your current contact
details included? Is your resume customized for the
job? Is a summary included?
● Have you included accomplishments at each job?
Have you proofread your resume? Have you included
city and state for each job? Have you included skills?
20. RESUME REFERENCES
● Do not write your references on your resume, instead
write them on a separate document that has your
name and contact details at the top.
● Write the names, titles, and contact details of at least
three professional references. It is a good idea to give
your references an updated copy of your resume.
21. WRITING YOUR BIOGRAPHY
● Invest time to write your brief personal biography
after you have developed an up-to-date resume.
Remember to write your bio in the third person.
● A Bio explains who you are, what you have done, what
you want to do, credentials, experience, key skills,
something unique about you and contact details.
22. ROUTINE MAINTENANCE
● After you have written your resume and successfully
gotten a job, that should not be the end of it.
● A resume is a "living" document which you should
regularly review and update at least on a quarterly
basis by adding new accomplishments.
