TIP ONE: Make sure you are highlighting your relevant experiences and transferable skills by putting these to the top of the page. You can create headings that illustrate these and help you cluster similar types together. For example "Event Coordination Experience" can include both volunteer and professional activities.

TIP TWO: Make sure to use action verbs when describing what you did in your position. DO NOT say "duties included" instead use action verbs such as: coordinated, collaborated, developed, responsible for, trained, created, etc. every work should communicate something about your skills

TIP THREE: Design the document so it is easily readable. Avoid jamming too much onto the page and use bold and italics to highlight your job titles so that a 30 second scan can easily see where you have been and what level of positions you have held.
