When you start editing this free resume template, you may think of enlisting all your achievements and experience in your resume. However, it is more important to highlight the ones that are fit for the role you are applying for. The resume should pique the interest of your employer and make them eager to call you for an interview.

Here are some Do’s and Dont’s of a resume to help you out:

Do:

• Include your contact information
• Highlight your most recent experience
• Include Personal accomplishments
• Use bullet points
• Include soft skills
• Start from a template
• Save final copy as a pdf (unless requested otherwise)
• Optimise for “applicant tracking system”
• Consider volunteer or other non-work experience, if relevant to the role.
• Consider a creative or digital resume

Don’t:

• Include anything confidential
• Include random, unrelated hobbies
• Use more than 2 fonts
• Forget to spell check and check for grammatical errors
• Make your resume longer than 2 pages

Remember to also put the most relevant information ‘above the fold’. This means that if the job states a certain level of experience, make sure to have it listed somewhere near the top. This could instantly help with getting a call back for an interview!

It is always wiser to ask your trainer, friend, or even a family member for a second opinion.
