Resumes ✅ Do's and ❌ Don'ts
✅ Name on the top → most important!!
❌ Add photos (unless culturally or job-specific required)
✅ Keep it concise → ideally 1 page
❌ Long paragraphs → use bullet points
✅ Adjust keywords and skills to match the job description.
❌ Using unprofessional email addresses → use this instead:
firstname.lastname@gmail.com
✅ Quantify achievements → highlight results with numbers (e.g., “Increased sales by 25%”)
❌ Include irrelevant experience e.g., summer job flipping burgers if applying for data analyst
✅ Use a clear format → clean fonts, consistent spacing, and professional layout.
❌ Use generic templates without editing → recruiters notice.
✅ Start with strong action verbs e.g., “Led,” “Developed,” “Implemented.”
❌ Overload with buzzwords → “hardworking, motivated”
