RESUME TEMPLATES
There is more than one way to build your resume, especially as your career grows and you add more skills, experience, and education. Your resume style and format can vary depending on what industry you are in and what type of role you are targeting. Wherever you land on this, it’s important that your resume reflects you, your skills, and your experience in the best way. People often make the error of choosing format and style over content. This can be eye catching at first, but it doesn’t always hold up in the process, especially when you have sacrificed important and relevant information and content that hiring managers will be looking for. Start simple and build with your key experience and competencies without sacrificing what makes you perfect for the job.
