In addition to including a skills section as mentioned above, an <a href=\"https:\/\/www.careereducation.columbia.edu\/resources\/how-write-resume-profile-or-summary-statement\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">effective professional summary<\/a> is also key.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The summary should answer the following question for employers: How can you benefit their organization? Answer this question with a short paragraph or a statement followed by three to four bullets that provide a career overview with a focus on your outstanding skills and \/or your career accomplishments.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:35px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-4-customize-the-content-for-each-position\"><strong><span class=\"orangecolor\">4.<\/span>&nbsp;Customize the Content for Each Position<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>With only two pages to work with and a limited amount of time to capture a hiring manager\u2019s attention, it\u2019s critical to focus on your job target. Your resume is a marketing document and is not intended to be an exhaustive list of everything you have done. Tweak your resume to adjust for the different keywords and required skills for each position.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It is also important to make sure the content of your entire resume highlights the skills, experience, and education required for the jobs you are applying for as well. If that course you took is irrelevant, leave it off. If that three-month contract is just taking up space, take it out. Also, make sure your job descriptions are focused on the most relevant responsibilities and accomplishments.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:35px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-5-focus-on-accomplishments\"><strong><span class=\"orangecolor\">5.<\/span>&nbsp;Focus on Accomplishments<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>All things being equal, it is how an applicant represents their accomplishments that will make the difference between who is asked for an interview and who is not. Once you have demonstrated to a potential employer that you have the required skills, experience, and education, it is up to your accomplishments to close the sale.

Then, recruit a friend or colleague with a discerning eye to examine your resume as well. Seeking a fresh pair of eyes to review your resume is crucial because once you\u2019ve stared at your own words for hours on end, it\u2019s difficult to notice mistakes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Once you\u2019ve corrected any spelling, punctuation, and grammatical errors, take a step back and look at the layout of your resume. Is it cluttered? You\u2019ll come across as unorganized. Did you use a resume template but left some fields blank because they didn\u2019t apply to you? You\u2019ll seem lazy. How about your font styles and sizes, are they consistent throughout? If not, a hiring manager could view this as a sign you don\u2019t take pride in your work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:35px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-a-last-word\"><strong>A Last Word<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Your resume is a representation of you and the quality of your work.
