1. Whether creating a new resume or revising your current resume, it is important to review resume guidelines and examples.
2. Revise your current resume to develop your resume:
3. Tailor your resume to your desired career field of interest, placing a particular emphasis on skills, qualifications, and experience that are compatible with that career field in mind.
• Use action verbs and accomplishment-driven language to describe your experience and qualifications.
• Include your degree at Colorado Technical University (CTU)in your education section. Use the name of your degree listed under the Academics tab on the Virtual Campus, and provide the expected graduation date.
• Do not use pronouns (e.g., I, me, or my).
• Remove any of the instructions from the template.
• Make sure your font, spacing, and overall format is professional and consistent.
4. Once you have completed your draft, read through the resume line by line. Keep in mind that any typos, spelling, or grammatical errors within your resume could potentially lead to your application being rejected by prospective employers, so you should edit your document with great care to ensure that you are submitting an error-free.
