9. Customize your resume to your employer. This means
you will have several versions of your resume ready.
Ask to see friends and family member resumes that are
in the area you want to work in.
Be consistent in your formatting… keep the same font,
just use sizing, bolding, italics, and underlining.
Stay away from resume templates so you can easily
adjust spacing.
Try to keep it one to two pages unless you have been in
a field for 5 or more years.
