Kickresume

How shouldI design myresume?

The answer to this question is two-fold: structure and visuals. Generally, you want to put your personal details at the top and rear-range the rest based on your previous experience. The most relevant experience should go first. For instance, if you’re fresh-out-of-college, list your education at the top, it’s probably still your greatest accom-plishment. Arrange your resume into clearly delineated thematic blocks with the most recent experience first. Sections should include your work experience, education, volunteering, and professional skills.

Regarding the visuals, be advised that Microsoft Word doc-uments are a thing of the past. Not that it’s impossible to createa nice-looking resume in Word but it takes a considerable amount of time, effort, and skill. You don’t have to be a designer to have a pro-fessionally designed resume. You can use a resume builder, such as Kickresume, where you’ll find templates for any kind of job. Simple and sleek designs or more creative and off-the-wall templates.
