Q – Is there a resume template I should use or where do I start?
A – Your resume is a professional reflection of you so use a format that represents you and your experience well verses using a specific template. There are templates available through Microsoft Word and online. Remember, if you use a template, don’t limit yourself to using only the headings that auto-populate. Don’t exclude information because it doesn’t fall in place within the template headings. Create your own style of resume…Career Services can help!
