STRATEGIES
An effective resume succinctly describes your education and experience in relation to the job for which you are
applying. You will often make your first impressions on employers through your writing, and you'll want those
impressions to be outstanding. Your resume is a written snapshot that should clearly support your career goal and be
tailored to that position. Information on the resume should be presented in order of relevance to the position to which
you are applying.
