this is how i spent all of autumn break. in my dads mock-studio which is just a bright room in our summer house (honestly the light in there is magical). studying economics until my eyes bled.

Resume Basics

having a strong resume is crucial for job applications, scholarship applications, college, etc. it is a sales tool and, ultimately, the first impression an employer/application reviewer will have of you. therefore, you need to make it interesting and impressive. below, i have listed a few tips and need-to-knows to help you build your resume. keep in mind that this list is geared toward industry jobs. while the information is still useful, it may be less relevant for those applying to digital marketing/design jobs. 

General

  • make different versions of your resume. by this i mean, have a master resume that lists everything. then, from that master resume, make specific resumes for each opportunity you are applying for. 
  • in high school/university, it is usually best to keep your resume to one page. unless you have done substantial work and are capable of filling up two pages, it is best to keep it short and concise.
  • always review your resume before submitting !! it is crucial that your resume does not include any typos 

Formatting 

  • keep your formatting consistent throughout your entire resume
  • use 11-12 point font, your name/headers should be no bigger than 14 point font
  • have a 1 inch margin all around your resume
  • do not include decorations (unless you are applying to a digital marketing/design job where aesthetics matter !!)
  • keep your font selection professional. my personal favorites are times new roman, garamond, and helvetica.
  • do not use caps unless it is for headers/titles (but even then, use caps at your own discretion)

Sections/Components to Include

  • name & contact info (phone number, email)
  • summary/3-5 second snapshot of your greatest accomplishments
  • job/internship/related experience
  • publications & speeches
  • awards & recognitions
  • memberships & affiliations
  • certifications
  • language skills
  • special/technical skills
  • extracurricular activities

Synonyms/Power Words

  • instead of “new,” use “unusual” or “innovative”
  • instead of “improved,” use “better” or “faster”
  • assessed/measured/quantified
  • conducted/performed/undertook
  • created/designed/developed
  • optimized/maximized
  • increased/reduced
  • spearheaded/led/directed

please let me know if you found this helpful !! i would love to post more comprehensive tips on cover letters, interviews, networking, developing your linkedin, etc.

worked a super long and suuuuuper slow shift at the welcome table for incoming international students, but had the best time bonding with my shift mates! always try and make connections with your colleagues, it makes work feel like play~ now i’m jumping between chinese vocab review on quizlet and finishing moving back into my old room at my parents’ house (which i’m moving back out of in like three weeks lmao why am i even trying?)

This quarter is really weird bc I actually don’t have stuff to really “study” for; lab classes generally don’t have midterms and only really have lab reports and busy work so whenever I don’t have any busy work due I’m like ??? idk do I study?

I went grocery shopping this weekend but now that I’m here I’m like I forgot to buy this I forgot to buy that

Also everyone’s getting sick and I don’t wanna get sick and today was really gross and dry and windy so I sneezed enough to get abs
