Frequently Asked Questions

What's a good example of a resume?

This is a good example of a resume:

professional resume example

This resume example is good because it clearly advertises all the candidate’s qualifications in a concise, clear format.

The resume immediately draws in the hiring manager with a convincing resume objective that highlights the candidate’s strengths, before moving into a substantial overview of their skills and experience.

Additionally, the candidate includes concrete examples of their accomplishments as a marketing specialist throughout their resume with hard numbers to back them up. These examples give employers a clear idea of what the candidate is capable of achieving if hired.

What's the best resume format?

There is no such thing as the best resume format. The type of resume you choose should be based on your unique work history, work experience, skills, and qualifications. Here are examples of the formats you can use, and who should use each one:

  1. Chronological resumes — best for mid-level professionals with consistent work history, or inexperienced job seekers who are able to swap out work experience with relevant coursework, volunteer work, or internships.
  2. Functional resumes — best for career changers, or people who have gaps in their work history.
  3. Combination resumes — best for experienced professionals who have a wide range of skills and qualifications for jobs in their industry.

Can a resume be two pages?

Yes, a resume can be two pages. If you have 10+ years of experience in your industry or an exceptional amount of relevant skills and accomplishments, it’s okay to write a two-page resume.

However, for entry to mid-level candidates, a one-page resume is best for most job applications.

Do employers look at a resume or cover letter first?

Employers look at your resume first to make sure you have the skills and experience they’re looking for before taking the time to read your cover letter. In fields that require job-specific hard skills, such as IT and engineering, employers are even more likely to look at your resume first because those skills are simply required to do the job.

However, in more creative fields such as editing, journalism, and marketing, employers may read your cover letter first to ensure that your writing and communication skills are at the level they expect in new hires.

Should I give my resume to a recruiter?

Yes, you should give your resume to a recruiter. Recruiters can help you find jobs that aren’t posted publicly, and will fast-track your application if you seem qualified for the position. However, you should consider the following details before you give your resume to a recruiter:

  • If the recruiter works in-house for a company, find out what role you’re being considered for so you can tailor your resume to the job’s requirements.
  • If the recruiter works for an agency, make sure they are reputable before you send any document that includes your personal information.
