The Ultimate Interview Guide: 30 Prep Tips for Job Interview Success

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
Preparing for an interview takes a lot more than Googling a list of common interview questions (though yes, you should 100% be ready for those). You have to make a great first impression (no showing up in wrinkly suits or running late!), know about the company and its products and mission, and, of course, convey exactly why you'd be a great hire for this job.

What's the best job for you?

Use The Muse to find a job at a company with a culture you love. Select the career path that aligns with you:

How many years of experience do you have?

What company benefits are most important to you?

Calculating your job matches...

So to help you prepare, we compiled a list of our all-time best pre-interview tips. From strategizing about how to tackle the toughest questions to packing your bag, we've got you covered-with 30 ways to make sure you bring your A-game.

Learn everything you can about the company, the job, and the interview.

A lot of your interview preparation will depend on the specifics surrounding the job, the company, and even who is interviewing you and how.

1. Research the company.

Spend a few hours learning everything you can about the company-from as many sources as you can. Talk to people in your network to find current and previous employees, read current news releases, and, yes, spend some time on Google. Often, candidates just look at the information a company is pushing out on its own website and social media accounts, but fail to look more in depth at what others are saying. By looking at multiple sources, you'll get a broader picture of the company (along with any negative press), and be ready to talk about why you'd like to work there and what you can do for them.

2. Learn everything you can about the open position.

Before you can show your interviewer why you'd be a great hire, you need to know what they're looking for. Luckily, most organizations have laid out exactly what they want in an applicant in the job posting. So go back to the description you looked at before you applied. What skills and experiences are they emphasizing? What problems will this hire need to solve? These are the things you'll want to emphasize throughout your interview.

3. Try out the company's product or service (if you can).

If the company you're interviewing for sells a product you can feasibly check out-try it before your interview (ideally, a few times). If hired, your goal will be to create value for the people who use that product, and being a user yourself is the first step. Plus, it'll help show the hiring manager that you're truly interested in the role.

4. Learn about the interviewers (without being creepy!)

If you're not told who you'll be meeting with during your interview, ask. For each interviewer, learn what their role at the company is and prep some questions that are specific to them. You can ask for details about their role, discuss current events related to their field, or bring up a common interest you know they have outside the office (just stick to one mentioned in an easily accessible spot, like their company bio or LinkedIn profile).

5. Find out what kind of interview you're in for-and prepare accordingly.

Different companies use different types of interviews, so ask what you'll be faced with. For example, some companies will have you meet one on one with several different people at the company, while others might have you meet with multiple people at once or give an interview presentation. You may also have a phone or video interview. Asking the recruiter or HR contact about the interview format ahead of time is totally fair game. And once you know, investing time to become familiar with this style can make a huge difference.

Brush up on interview skills and common interview questions.

Next, you'll want to use what you learned to prepare your answers to common interview questions and practice some interview techniques.

6. Identify your selling points for this job.

Even if you're a well-oiled interviewing machine, it's essential to spend time thinking carefully about what skills, accomplishments, and interview answers will resonate with your interviewers most for this job. Your management abilities? Your creativity? Go back to your research and see what makes you most qualified.

7. Be ready to tell the interviewer about yourself.

For every interview, you'll want to have an answer to " Tell me about yourself" that's tailored to this job and company and ready to go. Interviewers almost always ask this question or a similar one-like " Walk me through your resume "-to start off the conversation, so you want to make sure you're getting started on the right foot.

8. Know why you're interested in this position at this company.

It's likely you'll get asked why you're interested in this particular role and company. (And if you can't answer this question, you shouldn't be in the interview!) So to make sure you can answer, identify a couple of key factors about the job and the organization that align well with your strengths, interests, and/or work style and get you excited about the position. Even if you're not asked about this specifically, you can use this to inform your answers to other questions.

9. Do some salary research.

Even if you're not ready to have the money conversation, you might still get asked about your salary expectations. To keep yourself from getting caught off guard and giving (or agreeing to) a way-too-low number, do a bit of salary research to figure out how you'd answer.

10. Prepare your stories.

Most interviewers will ask at least a few behavioral questions, that is, questions about how you've acted or would act in certain scenarios. While you can't anticipate every possible situation you'll be asked about, you can prepare a few stories about your past work experiences that you can adapt as needed.

11. Familiarize yourself with the STAR method.

Whenever you're answering interview questions with a story, you want to make sure that story is well structured and the takeaway is clear. Your goal should be to give your interviewer all the context they need to understand what happened while still answering the question clearly and concisely. One way to do this is using the STAR method. STAR stands for:

Situation: Briefly lay out the scenario using just enough detail that the interviewer will understand the stakes and everything else in your answer.

Task: Talk about what your role in the situation was.

Action: Discuss what you did and why.

Result: Tell your interviewer about the outcome and what you learned.

Note that for some questions you might want to tweak this structure slightly. For example, if you're talking about a time you demonstrated leadership skills, consider defining what leadership means to you before jumping into the situation. But the STAR method will ensure your stories always have a beginning, middle, and end.

12. Jot down important numbers and details.

Don't forget about the numbers! Find some revenue figures, engagement numbers, budget or team sizes, percentages of time saved, or anything else you can use to communicate your impact. Throwing in some hard numbers when talking about your responsibilities and accomplishments or answering behavioral interview questions really sweetens the deal and helps you tell a hiring manager why you're so awesome. You can even write them down so you can refer to them during the interview. (Here's how to quantify your accomplishments, even if you don't work with numbers.)

13. Brush up on your interview skills.

How well you answer interview questions isn't everything-though it is a lot. Interviewers are also consciously or subconsciously picking up on how well you use other interview skills such as active listening, small talk, and empathy. These skills not only help you impress an interviewer, but also give them a sense of what it might be like to work you as a colleague.

14. Practice-but don't memorize-your answers to common interview questions.

You can and should familiarize yourself with common interview questions-but don't prepare by writing out your entire answer; instead, jot down a few notes or bullet points and keep them on hand for the interview itself. You'll ensure you cover the bases-without reading from a script. Practice looking in the mirror and answering them out loud. This prep work will help you clarify your thoughts and make you much more comfortable during the interview.

15. Think about body language.

Brush up on what certain body language conveys. Be aware of what you're communicating through your posture and stance-and make sure it's good. (For example, sitting with your arms and legs crossed sends a message that you are closed-off or feel defensive.) Think your movements through ahead of time so you're not distracted (or distracting) during the interview. If you're on video, think about how you'll show that you're actively engaged in that format-putting the Zoom window near your camera so you're not looking away from your interviewer, for example, or making non-verbal gestures or expressions to show that you're listening without cutting off their microphone.

16. Try some mock interviews.

If you have the time, do a few mock interviews with a friend or loved one. You'll be much better at answering, "What would you bring to the position?" the 100th time you do it and you'll know ahead of time where you want to put your hands or how you want to sit.

17. Write down questions you'll ask them.

Most interviews will wrap up with "Do you have any questions for me?" and you should absolutely have some questions. You can start with this list of interview questions to ask, but you should also plan some questions that are very specific to the job and company. And prepare more than you think you'll need-you don't want to ask questions that have already been answered or be left without any backup options if the interviewer already touched on your first two questions during your conversation.

18. Plan for what you'll do if you're caught off guard.

You can't prepare for everything, but you can prepare to handle the unexpected-like an interview question you don't know how to answer. For example, you can come up with a go-to phrase that'll help you avoid dead air if you need time to stall and gather your thoughts. Two strategies that work well are repeating the question thoughtfully before answering or saying (slowly), "Now, that is a great question. I think I would have to say..."

19. Prepare for technical interviews or skill tests.

If you're getting ready for a technical interview or you've been told there will be a skill test during your interview, start preparing and practicing as early as possible. Working through a prep book or sample questions will not only give you good practice, but it'll also put you in the right problem-solving mindset.

Get ready to present yourself well and figure out all of the interview logistics.

Once you've prepped for the content of your interview, it's time to make sure you walk in looking put together and feeling confident.

20. Figure out what to wear.

Unless you're prepping for a phone interview, you'll need to take your physical appearance into account. (And yes, for video interviews, that does include pants.) Not sure what to wear? Ask a contact at the company if you have one or scope out photos on their social media or Muse profile and dress at least as professionally as employees do. For example, for a casual environment, business casual is appropriate for an interview.

21. Look appropriate and professional.

Don't forget the little things. Make sure your outfit is cleaned, ironed or steamed, and tailored if needed (a modern fit is best). Shine your shoes, check for loose hems, and make sure your fingernails look neat. Do a little pampering, because looking your best helps you feel your best. If that means you need a facial, haircut, shave, or even a new interview outfit then by all means go for it! If you can't afford an appropriate outfit, you can check out a local Goodwill or thrift store or search for services in your area that provide free or discounted interview clothes for people who are out of work. Feeling good about yourself will boost your confidence-and we probably don't have to tell you that confidence is key to landing the job.

22. Print out copies of your resume.

If you're going to an in-person interview, you'll want to bring enough copies of your resume for everyone you're meeting with plus one to refer to yourself. However, if you have a phone or video interview it can still be useful to print out a hard copy of your resume to easily refer back to.

23. Prepare a reference list.

Prepare a reference list, whether you think you'll be asked for it or not. For each reference, include a name, title, organization, division or department, telephone number, and email address, as well as a sentence briefly explaining the relationship (e.g., "Carlton was my team leader for two years, during which we collaborated on four major product launches"). If you have an in-person interview, a hard copy is a good idea, and for any later-round interview, being prepared to send off the file as soon as you're asked for it shows how you prepare ahead of time.

24. Test any needed tech.

If you're doing your interview over the computer or the phone, make sure ahead of time that all the needed hardware, software, and network connections are working smoothly. If you can use headphones with a microphone, do so, and make sure they're connected before the interview begins.

25. Pack your bag ahead of time.

Whatever purse, backpack, or briefcase you carry should be large enough to hold your everyday essentials, plus your interview musts, such as extra resumes and a notepad, as well as a special emergency kit stocked with what you might need in an unexpected situation (think: Band-Aids, a stain stick, an umbrella, and breath mints). Here's a general checklist of what to bring to an interview so you're super prepared. And clean out that bag! If you have to dig past candy wrappers, phone chargers, and old receipts to get that resume, you're going to look a little disorganized.

26. Figure out where you're going and how you're getting there.

Whether you're driving or taking public transportation, make sure you look up your route ahead of time (including where you'll park). Buy any needed tickets, add needed money to your metro card, fill up your tank, or do anything that could slow you down on the way to your interview. Know how long it should take you to get there and add plenty of extra time in case of traffic or transit delays.

27. Prepare your environment (if needed).

If you're doing a remote interview, you're responsible for your environment, so make sure that you're in a quiet place without distractions and that anything you'll need to reference during the interview is laid out in front of you along with a notepad, working pen, and beverage. For video interviews, you'll also need to pay attention to what's going on behind you, so choose a plain or non-distracting background to sit in front of and make sure your shot is free of clutter and well lit ahead of time.

28. Fill in an interview cheat sheet.

You can use an interview cheat sheet to compile all the details you need to remember, jot down notes about what you want to say and ask, and check off all the essentials of what to bring to the interview. Print one out for every interview, read it over the morning of, and you'll be good to go! (We made one for you right here!)

29. Get a good night's sleep.

This sounds like something your mom would tell you, but there are few things that will throw you off your game like sleep deprivation.

30. Calm your nerves and/or get psyched.

Immediately before the interview (or as close to the time as possible) you'll want to get yourself in the right headspace. Expect to be nervous and plan ahead of time to use whatever tools you need. These methods are different for everyone, so think about what'll work for you. Maybe there's a friend who can pump you up (or talk you down) over the phone or text or a song that always makes you feel like you can do anything. Perhaps you need to do some breathing exercises or give yourself a pep talk in your car. Whatever will get you ready to go into your interview confident, calm, positive, and ready to ace it.

If you are worried about writing your first resume, or struggling with the task, you're not alone! However, it does not have to be intimidating.

Many students and recent graduates worry that they don't have enough experience to create a compelling resume. However, don't worry. There are many ways to emphasize your skills and experiences even if this is your first job.

Read below for advice on how to write a strong first resume that will generate interest and interviews.

What To Do Before Writing Your Resume

Before you even start to write your resume, there are a few steps you can take. Keep in mind that the goal of your resume is to show the employer that you are a strong candidate for the job, and that you will add value to the company.

To do this successfully, you need to know what potential employers are looking for. Start by researching job postings that interest you. Make a list of keywords you find in the job listings, such as frequently mentioned requirements or skills. You will want to focus on these in your resume to impress the employer.

Ask experienced professionals what they consider important when they make hiring decisions. Consider holding some informational interviews with people in your field to get a sense of what is most important for the kinds of jobs you're looking at.

You can also read professional publications and websites related to your target industry. Immerse yourself in your chosen field and learn as much as you can. Once you know what is important to employers, you can target your resume to address those issues.

Tips for Writing Your First Resume

Highlight education. If you are a student or recent student, your education is one of your greatest assets. Put the "Education" section of your resume towards the top of the page. Include not only the school you went to and the degree you received, but any other achievements. Perhaps you had a high ​GPA, or made the Dean's List. If you studied abroad, you might include this as well. Employers are impressed by recent graduates' academic achievements, so highlight these.

Emphasize all related experience. You might have limited work experience, but you have plenty of other experiences you can draw on. Think about clubs you have participated in, internships you have held, and volunteer positions you have worked. All of these can be listed under "Related Experience" or a similar category.

Leave out what is not relevant. The key is to emphasize those things that demonstrate your value to the company, and to leave out those things that don't. For example, if you are looking to work in Information Systems, your programming internship will be important, but the fact that you have won awards for water skiing won't! Don't include hobbies or experiences unless they relate to the job.

Mention achievements. Beneath each experience, you can list some of the responsibilities you held in that job or position. However, go beyond simply saying what you did. List any achievements that prove you can add value to an organization. For example, perhaps you won "Employee of the Month" at work. Or maybe you created a new filing system that increased efficiency at an office. Include any examples of times you added value to a company or achieved something.

Use keywords. Look back at the list of keywords you generated of common skills and requirements for the jobs you are applying for. Try to use some of these keywords throughout your resume. This will show the hiring manager, at a glance, that you are a good fit for the job.

Look at examples. Especially when writing your first resume, it's a good idea to look at resume examples. They can help you decide how to format your resume, and what kind of information to include. Make sure to change any sample resume to include information that is specific to you, and to the job you are applying for. Check out these student resume examples, and these other resume examples.

Keep it short. Especially if this is your first resume, you might not have a lot of information to include. Your resume should not be longer than one page. Aim to fill the whole page, while still having a good amount of white space in the margins.

Edit, edit, edit. Because employers get so many job applications, something small like a typo could cost you a job. Be sure to thoroughly proofread your resume before sending it to an employer. Read it for any spelling and grammar errors, as well as any inconsistencies in format (such as using different styles of bullet points). Ask a friend or family member, or a career services counselor, to also look at it for you.

Resume Design Tips

Many people are surprised to learn that resume design is just as important as content, but it's absolutely true. Research suggests that your resume has less than 20 seconds to make the right impression, so it must be eye-catching and easy to read.

There are many different ways to design and format your resume. Check out these resume templates to help you format your own resume. Using a template will make it easier to create your resume. Not only will it save you time, but it can also reduce formatting errors. You can look at these other resume templates available through Microsoft Word and Google Docs.

You can also start by watching our video to get the basics of resume writing:

Alright, let's dive right in!

1. Choose the Right Resume Format

Before you start writing your resume, you need to take care of the canvas prior to painting your application. It'll help you organize your document; recruiters will bid in interviews when they see your craftsmanship.

There are 3 main resume formats:

1. Chronological resume-has a classic resume layout, emphasizing your work experience and professional accomplishments. It lists your work history in reverse order, from the most current going backward. It's the most popular among all-level candidates and recruiters, and Applicant Tracking Systems (ATS) can read it, too.

2. Functional resume-emphasizes your skills and qualities, hence the secondary name, skills-based resume. The most important resume section is the skills summary, whereas your work history takes a back seat. Use it for your creative resume or when transitioning to civilian with a military resume.

3. Combination resume-a hybrid of the two above. It highlights your experience and skill set. It's best for professionals with a vast amount of relevant experience to show off. But, it's also a good choice for career change resumes and covering employment gaps if you wish to do so.

Is there any safe bet when writing your resume? Yes, there is-the chronological resume. See what it looks like:

Here's how to format a chronological resume:
Technicalities

Create even margins on your resume, 1-inch on all sides.

Set a legible resume font for the text, like Calibri, or Verdana, in 10-12 pts. For headings, use 13-14 pts in font size.

Use single or 1.15 line spacing. And add an extra line before and after a heading.

Exceed a resume's page limit only when unavoidable. Stick to one page for the best results.

Sectioning

Start with a resume header. Make it distinctive to highlight your name and contact information.

Organize your resume sections in the following order: summary/objective, work experience, education, skills, and extras.

Use bullet points for your entries under each section.

Find resume icons for each section or skip them altogether.

File format

See what the job ad says. Look for a preferred file formatting (PDF or .docx) in the job description.

If the company asks to send resumes in Microsoft Word .docx format, creating your resume in Word and sending it as required is a good idea.

Format your resume in PDF. PDFs preserve the structure and formatting on all devices.

Name your resume file by including the job title first, then the word resume, and lastly, your full name, separated by hyphens or underscores-for example, accountant-resume-jane-doe.pdf.

Pro Tip: Consistency on your resume draft is crucial, just like your consistency as their future employee. For example, format your dates any way you'd like (31 Dec, December 31, 12-2020, etc.), but follow the same throughout.

2. Add Contact Information and Personal Details

A career diplomat knows what information to disclose and which is better to hold back. Likewise, there are basic items that you must include in the contact information section, but you should also know what not to put on a resume.

Here's what to keep in mind when constructing your contact information section:

Include your first name and last name first. Then, provide your current or the most recent job title.

Add your phone number and an email address. Don't mention your second email address, though, as it may confuse the reader.

Include your LinkedIn profile if you have one. Alternatively, add a personal website; they're becoming increasingly popular for creatives or jobs in information technology.

Avoid adding information such as date of birth, as it could lead to ageism. Similarly, leave your home address off your resume unless it's required.

If you're applying for a job in the US, don't add a photo unless it's an acting or a modeling position.

Use a resume headline if you don't want to go for a resume summary or objective. They usually cover that part.

See how you could arrange your header and personal details:

Pro Tip: Before a recruiter or hiring manager can look you and your employment history up, you better sanitize your online presence! That means removing any offensive posts and making private things private. While at it, optimize your LinkedIn profile to make it up-to-date and complete.

3. Start With a Resume Summary or Resume Objective

A hiring manager will scan your resume in 7 seconds, our HR statistics report says. That means the top of the page will likely have the most eye time. And that's where the resume summary or objective statement is.

Here's how to write a resume profile that makes the recruiter stop and stare:

What Is a Resume Summary & When to Choose It

A resume summary is a 2-3 sentence paragraph that gives recruiters a gist of your relevant experience and boasts about your accomplishments in the field. The purpose of a resume and summary is to immediately draw attention to your candidacy and paint a picture of a fit applicant.

Choose the summary if you have enough relevant experience to condense your position-related skills and qualifications.

Let's take a look at how to write a professional summary with right and wrong examples for clarity:

Difference? WRONG focuses on everyday duties, whereas RIGHT shows graphic design skills, achievements, and experience. The RIGHT examples also mention the company by name. That is a great way to make sure your resume feels personalized rather than just sent to every company out there.

Pro Tip: If you have enough experience, consider writing a summary of qualifications instead.

What Is a Resume Objective & When to Choose It

A resume objective is a short statement providing insight into the qualities and skills you can transfer to the company. The goal of an objective is to show your potential employer what you can help them achieve, considering your skill set.

Choose the resume objective statement if you have no work experience or at least none related to the position you're applying for (entry-level applicants, career changers, students, etc.).

Let's look at another set of right and wrong examples for writing a career objective:

The RIGHT one uses some transferable skills from the previous company and proud achievements, with numbers as they speak louder than words. The WRONG one doesn't show enough to hold the hiring manager's attention. Plus, both WRONG examples above used the first person. Avoid this in your resume.

4. List Relevant Work Experience & Key Achievements

If you think of your resume as a fancy meal, the experience section is the main course. It includes the most important things to put on a resume, like your work history and achievements.

Let's go through the various job history components of the perfect resume experience section now.

How to Design a Work Experience Section on a Resume

1. Job title: This should go at the very top of each work history entry so that it's easy for potential employers to scan and find. Make it bold or increase the font size by 1pt or 2pts from the rest of the entry.

2. Company, city, state: In the second line, include the previous employer's company name and the city and state of your location.

3. Dates employed: Thirdly, put the timeframe of your employment there. You should add the month and the year, but there's no need to put exact days.

4. Key responsibilities: Focus on 5 to 6 essential job duties most relevant to the new job and list them in reverse chronological order. Use present tense to describe current job and past tense to discuss previous experience.

5. Key achievements: Often overlooked but super important. Employers know what you did. They need to know how well you did them. Say it using action verbs to reinforce your capabilities.

The recommended way to build your work experience section entries is this, in this exact order:

Think about accomplishments you've had, not necessarily meaning solid sales numbers or percentages. Were you involved in something that had great success? If so, include it! Showing what you've done beyond your daily duties is what will prompt employers to call you. Employers want to hire someone who exhibits motivation, participation, and ambition.

The work experience section of your resume, where you describe your past jobs, is the most crucial component of your whole job application. Dive deeper to make sure you get it right: Work Experience on a Resume: Job Description Bullets that *Kill* [100+]

How to Tailor Work History Entries to a Job Description

To tailor a resume means to make it as relevant to the job description as possible by including keywords taken out of a job ad and scattering them throughout the resume. The idea is to show the ATS software you have what it takes to take on the role.

You can include the keywords that an ATS will scan and assign you a score. The more relevant keywords, the higher the score you get. That leads to getting your application seen by a recruiter.

Duties (coordinate marketing campaigns, plan and implement promotional campaigns, etc.)

Skills (project management, marketing communications, B2B marketing, etc.)

Qualifications (5 years of experience, marketing or business-related degree, etc.)

Qualities (creative mindset, etc.)

To create an ATS-friendly resume, refer to the job description and look for resume keywords related to your responsibilities. They can touch upon the following:

Later, when writing your work history section, use (or refer to) as many of the above as possible in your duties and key achievements.

How Much Work Experience to Include on a Resume

A resume should go back at most 10-15 years. But the more experience you have, the less you should worry about the length of your resume. Don't try to cram everything into a one-page resume if you're a highly experienced candidate. And don't mention academic achievements unrelated to the role, only to land on a two-page resume.

First-time job hunters with no work experience can still include other gigs, such as a student organization role, internship, or volunteer experience, to fill out your experience section.

Entry-level candidates should list and describe all paid work, particularly calling out the most relevant responsibilities and achievements.

Mid-level job seekers should include detailed job descriptions of relevant positions and mention any other roles briefly.

Senior-level applicants, such as executives and managers, should list up to 15 years of relevant work experience with powerful action verbs to introduce each bullet point.

Let's go into greater detail:

When you're done, Zety's resume builder will score your resume and our resume checker will tell you exactly how to make it better.

5. Reference Your Education Correctly

Many people consider the education section an afterthought, but you shouldn't. It's an essential part of your resume structure. Simply because it's an excellent opportunity to prove your qualifications and gain some bonus points for relevancy.

1. Degree: Place your highest degree first. That means leaving out the high school info if you finished a university or college.

2. University: Add the name and location.

3. Dates attended: List your dates of attendance, mentioning the month and the year. There's no need to be as specific as including the days.

See how to list your credentials in the exact order:

Such an entry entails the essentials, which is the best solution for candidates with more than a year of experience. If you're writing an entry-level resume, consider adding the following:

Pro tip: As for mentioning your GPA on a resume, it's only a good idea if you graduated recently and your GPA was high enough to impress employers-at least 3.5. Otherwise, just leave it off your application. Also, don't round your GPA up.

For example:

6. Put Relevant Skills That Fit the Job Ad

Hard skills are specific abilities and know-how (e.g., Photoshop, using a cash register).

Soft skills are self-developed, life-learned attributes (e.g., social skills, adaptability).

Your skills are crucial to making your resume relevant to the position (and attractive to employers). A good resume uses the job ad as a reference and includes relevant skills to show you're a good fit for the job. There are two types of skills you can include in your resume:

These comprise a skill set and a job seeker's range of skills and abilities.

What Skills to Put on a Resume

Remember that job description you had handy from earlier? Reread it, paying attention to any specific skills that it mentions. If you have any of them, great-those are the keywords to put on your resume.

Communication skills: These can consist of people skills, non-verbal communication, active listening skills, and interpersonal skills.

Leadership skills and management skills: An ability to be a good manager, leader, and supervisor.

Critical thinking skills: Making thought-based decisions and taking the initiative. Includes analytical skills, decision-making skills, and problem-solving skills.

Organizational skills: A knack for planning, organizing, and seeing initiatives through.

Transferable skills: For career changers, these are abilities you learned to carry to your new position.

Technical skills: Knowledge required to perform specific tasks, like computer skills or clerical skills.

Job-specific skills: Particular prowess the company specifically requires.

See what skills the job ad might include:

Pro Tip: Don't just google "skills for a [industry] resume" and throw in the results. Take time to tailor your resume skills list to the job posting.

How to List Skills on a Resume

There are several ways to include a list of skills. For most, a simple skills section that contains 5-6 key abilities and your proficiency level is enough:

For specific job titles and technical skills, you may want to list your particular knowledge per item to give them specific detail into the areas of the skill you excel at:

7. Include Additional Resume Sections

Here's the thing-everyone's job resumes include those sections above. But what should a resume have to make it personalized? Make your resume unique by including extra information.

Here's how to make your resume stand out with extra sections:

Hobbies & Interests

You might not think that your love of baseball and being the Little League assistant coach would interest a potential employer. However, listing your hobbies and interests subtly proves your ability to work well in a team, and the coaching can verify your leadership and management expertise.

Volunteer Work

Volunteering boosts employability, studies find. For most job seekers, listing any volunteer experience as one of your additional resume sections is a great way to show your commitment and values. It also lets them know that you don't only care about the money. For entry-level or first-time applicants needing experience, volunteer work is an excellent stand-in.

Internship Experience

Listing internships on your resume is only OK if you're fresh out of school, have had one or two other jobs, or haven't been on the market for longer than 4-5 years.

Certifications and Awards

Got any certificates or licenses to show off on your resume? If they are relevant to the job and industry, include them!

Placed first in a chili cook-off at the state fair? If you're looking to be a cook, it'll definitely help. Likewise, a food safety certification or food handler's license that you already have would surely be in your favor.

Languages

Speak another language? Impressive! Listing language skills on a resume only extends your usefulness as an employee, particularly in international corporations or localities where a large population speaks that second language. List the language, global variation (Latin American Spanish, for example), and your language fluency levels.

Projects

If you've done a bunch, you can include projects as a separate section or simply mention one or two below each job description.

Publications

Have articles written for a blog, newspaper, or scientific journal? Mention those publications on a resume. If your published material isn't online, create a short bibliography of the works you'd like them to acknowledge.

Also, if you've built graphic designs or other creative creations, or if your list of publications or projects needs to be shorter, consider making an online portfolio to document everything. Link to it from the contact section, in this case.

Would you like to read more about additional sections? Go for it: What to Put for Additional Information on a Resume?

8. Complement Your Resume With a Cover Letter

You must most definitely submit a cover letter. Your cover letter or job application letter lets you expand upon things you need to keep brief on your resume. Also, it allows you to speak easily in standard sentences!

Sound like an overkill? Think again. Most employers think more than a resume is needed to make a decision. Follow our guide on making a cover letter (or a cover letter with no experience or a cover letter for an internship), and you'll knock this out quickly and painlessly.

Plus, a great cover letter that matches your resume will give you an advantage over other candidates. You can write it in our cover letter builder here. Here's what it may look like:

See more cover letter templates and start writing.

9. Proofread and Email Your Resume the Right Way

You're almost there, but don't send it off just yet. Here are some resume best practices to keep in mind, so you can rest assured that you wrote the perfect resume:

Proofread & Double-Check

1. By double-checking your resume before sending it out. First, review your resume with this checklist to tick off all the check marks for formatting and style. See if you have all the right sections and whether they have all you need to succeed and go through your resume to check your resume content's relevance.

2. Then, scan your entire application with a tool like Grammarly to check for spelling or grammar mistakes.

3. To triple-check, ask a friend or family member for help. Better safe than sorry!

How to make a professional resume and be seen as a professional?

As for the question of how to spell resume? It's still a contention, but "resume" without the accents is the best choice.

Do you want more tips and know which common resume mistakes to avoid? See these for more: 50 Best Resume Tips and Resume Dos and Don'ts

Email Your Resume the Right Way

When you send a resume to a catch-all email address such as contact@company.org, your resume enters a sea of similar emails from other job seekers fighting for the same position as you.

Find the name of the person reading your resume and personalize your email with that information. Sending a resume is much more compelling when you use Dear Mike instead of To Whom It May Concern.

In case you wondered! What the US and Canada call a resume, most of the world calls a curriculum vitae (CV). South Africa, India, New Zealand, and Australia interchange the terms resume and CV. Read about the differences between a resume and a CV for more.

Key Takeaway

Stay relevant: Every item on your resume should prove you are the best candidate.

Tailor: Make one resume specifically for one specific job and company to apply to. Pick skills that relate to the open position.

Choose the right stuff: Use active voice, write a heading statement for your situation, and don't include unnecessary details.

Be consistent: Follow the same formatting, styles, colors, and conventions throughout your resume.

Double-check: Wait to send your resume before you are certain there are no typos or errors.

Frequently Asked Questions about How to Make a Resume

What is a resume?

A resume, also referred to as a résumé or a CV, is a document summarizing a person's professional and academic background, relevant skills, and accomplishments. It's usually used to introduce yourself and present your qualifications to a prospective employer when applying for a job.

Do you need a specific type? Zety's prepared hundreds of resume examples, from an entry-level resume to a software engineer resume to a video resume. Visit our page to find your own.

How to make a resume for a job?

First, read the job ad carefully to pick up keywords for your resume that you'll target to pass the Applicant Tracking Software test. Next, create resume sections necessary to present yourself, your qualifications, and your strengths. The sections are:

Depending on the industry and experience, you'll have to think about which additional sections work best. But you definitely can't write a resume without the other five. You can spare yourself the worry by using our resume maker.

How to write a resume for the first time?

Write your first resume with transferable skills in the skills and resume objective sections. In the work history part, add accomplishments examples that prove your qualities of a valuable employee, such as curiosity, eagerness to learn and assist, and developed communication skills. Internships and volunteering placements fit there perfectly. And most importantly-put your academic achievements right below the objective to highlight your educational advancement.

How to make a good resume that will impress recruiters?

An impressive resume is a resume that reads well and looks so, too. So before you get down to writing the nitty-gritty details of your professional and academic achievements, take care of the resume formatting and layout.

Only then move on to adding the biggest successes under each section: resume profile, experience, education, and skills. But-additional parts make the strongest impression, so don't forget to include awards, certifications or licenses, or extracurricular activities to your resume. Say you're an achiever, not a doer.

What is the format of a resume?

The chronological format is the most popular resume format suitable for every job applicant-an entry-level position, a specialist, or an executive. By choosing it, you decide to show off your career progression.

Functional format, or skills-based resume, presents you in the best light when changing careers. It concentrates on your skillset and leaves work history in the back seat.

Combination format, aka a hybrid, is a well-blended mixture of the chronological and functional formats. It's the most complex one to write as it includes a skills summary and an extended experience section, which is apt for senior positions.

How to make a resume in Word?

You can spare yourself the trouble and use a pre-made Word resume template. But if you have quite some experience with text formatting (and plenty of time), start making your resume in Word. Create a clean layout, choose a font that reads well, and limit the number of graphic elements on the page not to overwhelm the ATS. Then, add the main and additional resume sections in an order suitable for the resume format. Save it in a Word or PDF file at the end, keeping in mind the instructions from the recruiter.

Or, if you need a top-notch resume that takes just minutes to make and looks better than any Word resume, pick one of Zety's resume templates, add your info, and land that job.

What does a good resume look like in 2023?

In 2023, you need to make even a stronger impression than in the previous years. Use a modern resume template and include the most important sections: personal information, summary or objective, employment history, education, and skills. Add your best achievements under each section and quantify them. Show your future employer that you've had an impact and will continue to bring results.
