Have you ever started applying for jobs and submitted a ton of applications but didn’t really get any responses or getting a ton of rejection letters? 
Or not making it past the application stage? 
If the answer is yes, there might be something wrong with your resume. 
 
What to include on your resume: 
1) Contact information 

First and last name (put what you want to be called on your resume, you can put your legal name on your application)
Phone number - it should be the number you want to be contact at (cell phone vs. house phone)
Email 
City and state 

2) Education 

If you have a college degree, include your college degree and beyond 
If you do not have a college degree, you want to make sure you have your high school education on there 

3) Skills 

Should be bulleted out 
5-10 skills 
Relevant to the jobs you’re applying for 

4) Experience 

Job history 
If you don’t have any working history, you can include college projects and / or volunteer experience 

 
What to exclude from your resume: 
1) Graduation dates 
2) Objectives 
3) References 

Remove the references 
Also remove the line ‘references available upon request’ 

4) CAPTIAL LETTERS
5) Long summaries
