- When it comes to resumes, I have seen it all. We want to see your personality come through in the resume, and not with color, but actually with context. What have you done? What are some of the activities you have been involved with? Where have you shown leadership?

- Leading with your education and any key details around your studies, followed by any relevant experiences, be it internship or other jobs that you've held.

- One page is absolutely where you should be. Sometimes we see students or candidates come in with multiple page resumes. And by the time you start to flip through as a recruiter, you start to lose the really important pieces of what you want to highlight for that role.

- And experience is really good experience. So if you were in a retail space or if you were in fast food, you can leverage those experiences and quantify them to make them impactful.

- I would be really cautious about putting your picture on your resume. That takes up really precious space where we can learn more about who you are.

- Volunteer experiences. I'd like to know what other people have done to help out their community, what they're willing to do, and how far they're willing to go to help others.

- The interest part is actually a really great opportunity to highlight something that you're passionate about outside of the classroom.

- Some of the best resumes I've ever seen, it's when I'm able to find the information that I'm looking for really easily. If there are typos, they're going to detract from any phenomenal accomplishments people have made. So making sure that you have your friends look over it, your professor look over it, your mom look over it. Whatever it is, use those people that are going to be able to pinpoint those small mistakes that you won't be able to catch.

- You're not going to be able to do it overnight. It's not going to be your best product. Just like a paper, I think the most important part is that you give yourself time to put that resume together.
