Resume tips I received recently...

Approached the Career Service department for pointers about my resume and got several useful suggestions. I realized that it is very important to get a second opinion or a third opinion. Do not try to do it all by yourself.

Useful tips I got:

• Volunteering information is important
• Extra curricular activities must be mentioned
• Pay attention to font size and line spacing
• Have clarity and focus in resume
• Customize your resume according to different positions
• Do not use italics
• Do not use the words: References available upon request
• Do not use the words handled or assisted 
• Be creative: everyone uses the words "team player", motivated, driven, proven etc
• Do not generalize - explain what you did specifically and how you contributed
• Check grammar and spellings thoroughly
