for an interview. Employers often have to sort through large numbers of resumes, so make yours informative, easy to read, and concise. A resume should list your education, experience, and skills but should never exceed two pages.

Emphasize jobs where you gained relevant experience. summarizing your responsibilities and skills with bullet lists.

Use one. easy-to-read font. and apply different font styles and sizes for emphasis.
Bullets are effective for making lines of text stand out.
Employ proper spelling. punctuation. grammar. and use of any technical terms.
Keep it to one page. if possible; two pages at the most. (If you use two pages. be sure to put your name in the header or footer on page 2. in case it becomes separated from page 1.)
