Do:

• Keep a simple format with simple and consistent font style and proper headings, like:

• • Career Summary, 

• • Education/Training/Certifications,

• • Relevant (Technical) Skills,

• • Employer History – Employer details (most recent one first), when you worked there, role/position, duties and main achievements.
• Keep information concise/brief, but complete:
  • No more than the last 10 years’ of experience,
  • If > 10 years, insert “Details of prior experience can be provided upon request.” at the end of your experience section,
  • No more than 5-6 pages in total.

Don’t:

• Use lots of colors and pictures (including one of yourself) in your Resume.

• List your age, address or personal status.

• Use a smaller Font to fit more detail in.

• Over complicate the format using columns and over-use of tables, charts, etc.

• Break your experience up into Projects, keep it to a sequence of Employers and what you did and achieved with each.
