Guide to Creating a Strong Resume

</aside>

A good resume is clear, concise, and tailored to the specific position you’re applying for. It should highlight your most relevant experiences, skills, and accomplishments in a way that’s easy to read and quickly shows why you’re a strong candidate.

What’s the difference between a CV and a resume?

Some key tips for writing a strong resume:

• Keep it usually to one page (two pages if you have extensive experience).
• Use clear headings (e.g., Education, Experience, Skills, Leadership).
• Start bullet points with strong action verbs.
• Focus on achievements and outcomes, not just responsibilities.
• Quantify your impact where possible (e.g., “Led a team of 5,” “Increased outreach by 30%”).
• Tailor your resume to match the job description or organization’s focus.
• Keep formatting clean and consistent - no fancy graphics or colors.
