Is your resume looking a little dull? Here are 4 \u00a0tips and tricks we found helpful to boost your resume game!<\/strong><\/p>\n

1.) Job Description<\/p>\n

If you can’t seem to describe your job\/experience or are having a hard time remembering what you did, Google it. Hit the search tab and Google: “(your job) description” and see how others describe it. Maybe this will give you an idea. For example, this summer I was a hostess, but when I went into the Career Planning Center to add my new experience I couldn’t think of how to describe what I had done.During my meeting a career counselor gave me this simple idea, which is one of the most helpful tips I’ve ever gotten.<\/p>\n

2.) Proofread!<\/p>\n

You can never overly-check your resume for spelling errors, because spell check will not catch every mistake.<\/p>\n

3.) Wording<\/p>\n

Use present action verbs for current positions. (ex. “resolve” not “revolved” )<\/p>\n

4.) Ordering<\/p>\n

Keep your positions organized in reverse-chronological order by END DATE within each section. \u00a0Recruiters want to know what you\u2019re currently doing or what you\u2019ve done most recently, so make sure that\u2019s listed first.<\/p>\n
