Last week, I went to a short resume workshop given by GRF Seema. Going in, I had a resume already which I used for various applications. However, I thought it couldn’t hurt to get some advice to possibly improve it. I appreciated the point that employers or whoever might be reading your application will likely only spend a short amount of time glancing through your CV or resume. Therefore, it’s a good idea to make it easy for that person to see certain points which you want emphasized. It seems the best way to do this is through ordering and choosing which points to describe in detail, but NOT through the use of extensive colors or fonts as GRF Seema warned against. After the workshop, I believe my resume is still fine, but I learned some tips, such as the one mentioned here, that I will definitely keep in mind for the future.
