Industry
- The style of your resume will depend on the industry you work in. For instance, an actor’s resume differs significantly from a professional accountant’s.
- If you are in a creative field, such as graphic design, employers will expect your resume to include a portfolio of work that is both form and function.
- If you’re looking for a career change, try researching resume templates from people in that field to get a better understanding of industry standards.

Resume templates
- Use resume templates as an example of what you want your resume to look like in terms of form, structure, and layout.
- If you browse the internet for resume templates, remember that you will need to personalize and accentuate your professional details so that they don’t look or sound generic.

Resume layout
- Consider the hiring manager's perspective and the qualities and proficiencies they might find helpful and easy to scan. Focus on the necessary details first.
- Create sections to list your professional skills, certifications, awards, memberships, education, and accomplishments in an organized and concise format.

Things to not include in your resume
- Do not include hobbies, extracurricular interests, or objectives. Focus only on the necessary information relevant to the job.
- You don’t need to include a photo of yourself unless it’s necessary for specific industries, like on an actor’s resume.
- Avoid using exclamation points, smiley faces, or emojis in your resume.
- Don’t use nicknames or catchphrases in your email address that may be unprofessional, or consider opening a new email account for business use.
- To avoid inconsistent formatting, double-check the bullet points, periods, capitalization, spelling, and overall structure of the entire document.
