Customize your resume for every application. Highlight the skills and experiences that are most relevant to the specific job description. Using keywords from the job post will help you get past automated screening systems.

Start bullet points with strong action verbs. Instead of saying "Responsible for managing social media," say "Managed social media accounts, increasing engagement by 25% over six months." Quantifying your accomplishments with numbers makes them more impactful.

Hiring managers spend only a few seconds scanning each resume. Keep your resume to one page if possible (two for very experienced professionals). Use a clean, professional font and plenty of white space to make it easy to skim.

Typos and grammatical errors can be a deal-breaker. Read your resume multiple times, use a spell checker, and consider asking a friend or family member to review it for you. A flawless resume shows professionalism and attention to detail.
