Summary
Tips for creating a strong resume that highlights experience, skills, and accomplishments to help secure interviews.

Guidance covers clear contact details, an optional career objective, listing education and training, using “experience” to include internships and volunteer work, consistent formatting, and using action verbs. It also suggests framing employment gaps with learning activities and choosing professional references.
