However, there are guidelines we should all follow so that our various accomplishments are featured in the best possible way. Brief Consistent Dynamic rief (depending on field and experience level). Keep your resume to one page. Unless you have considerable work experience and/or advanced degree(s), one page is appropriate. Later in your professional career, your resume can expand to two pages. High school information should be removed after your first year at Muhlenberg. Consistency is important. For example, if you abbreviate Pennsylvania (PA) in your contact information, continue to do so throughout the resume. Use action verbs to describe your duties and how you accomplished them when addressing your experiences. Spelling and/or grammatical errors should be non- existent in a resume. It is important that you carefully organize the information so that it demonstrates your strong points at-a-glance, while emphasizing your achievements and skills.

When viewed this way, it is crucial to make a positive impact with your document.
