Loyola Marymount University l Career Development Services l University Hall, Suite 1300 l 310.338.2871 What is a resume? A resume is a snapshot of yourself on paper. It is a brief presentation that summarizes your skills, interests, and abilities. The purpose of your resume is usually to get an interview. It is a method of advertising and emphasizing your most marketable skills. When designing your resume, make each section and statement positive and straight to the point. Essential checklist before sending your resume to anyone!! ü Proofread, proofread, proofread. ü Grammar check & spell check. ü Don’t make the employer work; use an inviting and easy-to-read format and font. ü Font size should be between 10 pt and 12 pt. ü Utilize the whole page (8 ½ x 11). Adjust your margins between 0.5 and 1.0 inches. ü Use light colored paper; it is usually perceived as more positive and professional.
