Key Points to Remember:

The look: Remember, the overall look of your resume can make or break its appearance. If you have a lot of information to include make your margins as narrow as possible and create lines to divide your sections. Your resume should always be visually appealing, no matter how much information you include. Set your resume on the ground and take a few steps backwards – does it still look good? If not, you’re going to need to start reorganizing.
Be specific: You have earned every accomplishment under your belt, so use your resume to show what you’ve done. Remember to use power words, be quantifiable and specific. After all, no one will be more familiar with your past than you are, so ensure your resume makes sense to even the most uninformed reader.
