Quick Resume Updates That Make a Big Difference

Your resume is often the first impression you make on employers. Here’s how to refresh it quickly:

1. Update Your Contact Info – Ensure your email and phone number are current. A professional email (e.g., firstname.lastname@gmail.com) is best.
2. Highlight Recent Achievements – Swap out old bullet points with recent successes, using numbers and results whenever possible.
3. Use Keywords – Match your resume with job descriptions by including relevant industry keywords.
4. Keep It Concise – Stick to a one-page format (two max if you have extensive experience).
5. Check for Errors – Typos can cost you interviews. Use spell check and ask a friend to review your resume.
