Trace your educational experience back to high school as you write your resume. Entry level workers should highlight their grade-point averages, honors and extracurricular activities to demonstrate areas of expertise.

Utilize a skills section to demonstrate the tools and talents you bring to a potential job. You should write 2 skill categories on your resume, including professional skills and hobbies that might apply to a potential job.

Avoid filler as you write the employment section of your resume. You should write the company name, job title and up to 3 sentences describing your job responsibilities, keeping the document streamlined.
