Editing & formatting your own resume? Here’s a quick checklist:
☐ Make sure there are no “I” or “me” statements – resumes are first person implied.
☐ Keep it down to 1-2 legible font choices, and no less than 10 point font. Your name should be big and bold at the top with at least 20 point font.
☐ Keep your resume to 1 page until you have at least a decade in the same industry.
☐ Remove your objective and your references section.
☐ Add as much quantifiable data as possible (15% increase, 95% satisfaction, 100+ customers)
☐ If you’re in an ATS industry, remove links, underlining, and columns.
☐ Prove you have attention to detail with consistent spacing, periods, right-aligned dates, and dashes.
