resume, as it increases your chance of being 
shortlisted for an interview. It will also help you 
better with job search.

most cases.

don’t need to provide contact details of anyone 
on your resume.
Typos

any of the grammar check tools available online.

Use bullet points
• It is better to use bullet points for achievements and 
responsibilities. Include more details on recent 
roles and less on older ones, depending on the job 
you are applying for.

Use professional font
• Since employers and recruiters only have a short 
time to review your resume, it should be clear and 
easy to understand. Use fonts like Arial or Times 
New Roman.
