Resume Checklist

Career Services Center RSC 128 | 702-992-2611 | career@nsc.edu

A resume is a written document that contains a summary of your experience and educational background. Read through the checklist below to make sure your resume follows standard resume rules and guidelines.

OVERALL GUIDELINES Stick to 11-12 point font size AND one font style. Pick a font style that is legible and easy to read such

as Times New Roman, Arial, or Calibri. Use bolding, italics, or CAPS sparingly to emphasize key text such as section headers,

university/company name, job title, etc. ½ - 1 inch margins are standard. Margins should be consistent along all four sides. Utilize your white space appropriately. Make sure to balance white space and text. Organize information according to what’s most relevant to the employer. Relevant information

should be placed closer to the top of your resume. Don’t clutter your resume with nonessential, irrelevant information. Be consistent in formatting, position of certain text, location of bullet points, etc. Align all dates to the right to balance out content and separate out information. Do not use pronouns: I, me, my, their, our, etc. Do not include high school information after your sophomore year in college. Do not include references on a resume. References go on a separate page. Keep resume to about one page in length. Do not exceed two pages. Make sure your resume is free of typos and grammatical errors.

HEADER Include your name, physical address, phone number, and a professional email address at the top of

your resume. Emphasize your name by increasing the font size by several point sizes and/or bolding it.

EDUCATION Include name of college, city and state, graduation date or expected date of graduation, and degree. List the name of your degree and major. Example: Bachelor of Science in Biology Optional: List GPA if it’s a 3.5 or higher. You could also list academic achievements.

EXPERIENCE Organize your experiences in reverse chronological order, listing the most recent experience first. Include company name, your job title, city and state, and dates of experience (start and end date). Pick either your job title or company to bold. Use bullet points to list job responsibilities AND accomplishments/improvements – employers are

really interested in these. Start your bullet points with action verbs. Vary your choice of verbs. Your verb tense should be in

the same tense as the experience: past experiences should include past-tense verbs (compiled, created, etc.); current experiences should include present-tense verbs (compile, created, etc.)

Keep bullets under two lines. If your bullets go onto a 3rd line of text, it is too long. Use digits (#, %, $) when writing out numbers. It improves readability and saves space. Example:

Supervised 5 employees; Increased sales by 15%; Collected $300 for fundraising event.

Resume & Cover Letter Action Verbs

Career Services Center RSC 128 | 702-992-2611 | career@nsc.edu

When constructing your resume and cover letter, it is important to utilize strong action verbs to showcase your experience and achievements regarding your education, employment, academic projects, etc. Identify action verbs that best match your experiences from the list below and input into your resume and cover letter. Make sure to vary your action verbs so as not to be repetitive.
