How to improve resume?

Question

It seems like everyone has a different idea on how a resume should look. I’ve worked with schools, colleges, worksites, etc and they all give me different advice that contradicts each other. Any advice because I’m struggling to find work.

Answer

It varies by what field you're going into, and even then, there's rarely a standard. I've helped a lot of people format/revise their resume over the years and the main advise I would give is to use concise language, consistent formatting, and avoid any spelling/grammar errors.

Answer

Well it should be tailored to the type of job you want. Like the skills you put in your resume should coincide with jobs you want. You also should also put a description of each job you did (at least what I do).
It should also be simple. Like I wouldn't make it colorful unless the type of job you want is colorful. Like I had a friend once applying for jobs and the background of her resume was butterflies. She was trying to put her personality into it but most jobs, that wouldn't look professional

Answer

I’ve honestly always used a template from Microsoft word and If I’m trying to word something in a more professional manner, I’ll look at resumes on Google to get an idea. Also, keep it at one page and one page only. Anything 2 sided of 2 pages will just get thrown out. Employers look over them so quickly that the last thing they want to do is look at a lengthy resume.

Answer

It's really all so subjective, which makes it hard. I doubt any of those tiny variations is what is preventing you from getting a job. What are you applying for?
