One Pager Cheat Sheet

• This lesson covers resume writing, teaching how to make your resume stand out, what a good resume entails and what NOT to put on it, while comparing it to a Google search results page.
• Creating a one page resume is essential for the reader to quickly get your key information, and will significantly increase the chances of them not being distracted by anything else.
• Boldly ensure your resume is optimized for search by using keywords from job postings and weaving them in where appropriate.
• Prioritize the most relevant parts of your resume to the role while placing less relevant topics towards the bottom to create an efficient and effective read for recruiters.
• You should go as niche as possible when going over your skillset to showcase your specific experience and expertise.
• By using relevant keywords and metrics to back it up, you can maximize the impact of your bullet points in your descriptions.
• Keep your resume minimalistic, easy to read, and linear, so that important points can be quickly and easily understood.
• There is usually no need to include a Global Summary/Objective section in a resume, as it is often generic and can be easily inferred from the rest of the resume; the only exception is when the applicant wants to explicitly clarify their most 'relevant' title.
• Adding a Skills section to your resume will increase the odds of an automated scanner or recruiter finding a match for the right job and make it easier for the reader to select you.
