6 Resume Tips for the 21st Century
1. It is a tool to build a bridge to your future
– Always use it to connect to what the employer needs.
2. Create a master resume with all your experience and credentials,
then then create variations tailored to the specific roles to which you apply
3. Use the exact words and phrases that appear in the job posting.
Expand on these phrases with impact examples.
4. Keep it to 2 pages or less unless you are a senior executive or are applying higher education or
government jobs.
5. If you include a Summary/Objective customize it to strongly align with the job to which you are applying.
6. Allocate resume space proportionately to the career you want, not the experience you have.

NCDOT Applying for a Job

NCDOT Applying for a Job Questions are one of the MOST
IMPORTANT PARTS of your
application.
6 Tips regarding Questions
1. Use keywords & phrases exactly as they appear in job posting & questions
2. Can the hiring manager see my key credentials in 15 seconds?
3. Do I prominently summarize “why me” at the top of my resume
4. Be Direct: Directly address each question
e.g., if an advanced degree is required don’t bury it at the end of a 4-page resume. If the question asks about
writing ability, immediately detail experience instead of your enjoyment of writing.
5. Think Metrics: Highlight quantitative ways your work has had a measurable impact, how you’ve helped a
company save/make money, improve performance, and matter.
6. Think Efficiency: Highlight how you can save time, make time or manage time, and key ways that you have
improved efficiency.
