📝

An ideal resume is straightforward and easy to read, with equal margins all around and a standard font like Times New Roman or Arial.
💼

The top part of your resume should include your first and last name, city of residence, and not your full street address for privacy reasons.
🎓

Highlighting educational achievements and extracurricular activities can enhance a resume with no work experience.
💼

Don't limit your resume to only paid work experience, as part-time, freelance, volunteer, and even non-career related experience can be relevant and valuable to showcase.
📈

Use numbers and explain your impact when possible in your bullet points to showcase your accomplishments.
💼

Tailoring your resume for every job you apply for is crucial in order to appeal to recruiters and assist online application software in identifying desired characteristics.
