One Pager Cheat Sheet

  • With the right techniques, targeting and creative design, you can make a stand-out resume and increase your chances to get the job you desire.
  • The formatting of your resume is key for it to be noticed by recruiters, and the content should be structured into several sections such as contact information, personal statement, education, work experience, and more.
  • Include only the most important data such as first and last name, job title, email, phone and relevant links to create a nice and readable contact section on your resume.
  • In your Personal Statement, succinctly pitch yourself as an ideal candidate for the job with 3-5 sentences, using relevant keywords.
  • Boldly highlight the most relevant work experience, detailing accomplishments and providing tangible evidence of successes such as sales increases.
  • Organize your Education section by including degree(s), relevant coursework, dates, and brief school details, especially if you have less work experience.
  • Include relevant Soft and Hard skills in the Skills section, and mention all skills in the other sections of your resume as well.
  • You can add sections such as Personal Projects, Certifications, Awards, Languages, Hobbies, and more to highlight relevant information on your resume, though recruiters will spend the least amount of time on these "nice to have" sections.
  • By using the right action verbs to emphasize your hard and soft skills, as well as having a well-organized format and sending a great portfolio, you can make your resume stand out from the competition.
