In drafting your first resume be sure you do the following:

1. First concentrate on the content (skills and accomplishments)

2. How does the resume look (is there enough white space so it doesn’t look cluttered and will the employer be able to easily find the information they are looking for?)

3. Be sure your resume is consistent (attention to detail - look carefully at how you formatted the information - using bold and italics, underlining, periods, dates, states, abbreviations, etc.)
