Job Tips: Resumé Tips #2

Check out “5 Resume Mistakes You MUST Avoid (with real examples)!” by Jeff Su on YouTube:

1) Putting education above experience

Do: Highlight work experience (internships, extracurriculars) over education to show job relevance.

2) Not showing impact

Do: Show impact by writing clear, result-oriented bullet points rather than vague responsibilities.

3) Failing to include meaningful metrics

Do: Quantify achievements, even small ones, to demonstrate impact and effort.

4) Not tailoring resume for each application

Do: Focus on 3-5 high quality roles and customize for each role using job-relevant keywords; quality trumps quantity in applications.

5) Overlooking the small things

Do: Avoid minor errors like inconsistent formatting or typos; use tools or feedback for review.
