achievement, experience and skills); help the robots (use standard fonts and
simple formatting, use the exact words and phrases from the job descriptions);
tailor resume for each application (customize resume for each and every job
application, review job ads for the desired position, and look for skills and
qualifications that employers want in their ideal candidates); show what you
know (projects involved that show leadership, drive and determination such as
organized and managed fundraising events for the benefits of cancer patient);
call in the reinforcements (have someone else read the resume to catch those
pesky typos or point out ways that your language can be stronger). For old

highlight to the career summary section. The page also discussed the
following resume elements: contact information (should be place on top of the
resume); objective (include a clear career goal, focus on how you would
benefit the employer, don’t be vague, and keep it concise and targeted); skills
(incorporate the right keywords that the employer is looking for, soft skills such
as problem solving, communication, and leadership can also be included);
professional experience (list the achievements not the day-to-day
responsibilities, showcase the achievements by citing quantifiable results);
education (degree, name of the college/university and its address, inclusive
dates, and the achievement or GPA).
