https://careerservices.erau.edu/resources/
Do’s
• Do avoid pre-formatted templates;
create your own resume!
• Do customize your resume for each
job you are pursuing by including
key or “buzz” words including in the
job description.
• Do research the company and the
industry to create an effective
resume specific for each position.
• Minimal Experience = 1 page
Moderate/maximum Experience = 2
pages
• Do print on white or off-white
resume paper
Don’ts
• Do not forget to proofread
and/or have others to proofread
your resume.
• Do not opt for resume “style”
over “format!” Do not use flashy
or hard-to-read fonts, photos,
• Do not round up GPA, exaggerate
accomplishments, or include
marital status, gender, or age.
• Do not include references or
salary history in resume.
• Do not include high school after
first year of college completed.
