Resume

In summary, to make your resume stand out, focus on highlighting unique skills and experiences using strong action verbs and metrics. Include contact information, a professional summary or objective, work experience, education, relevant skills, and any relevant certifications or achievements. Aim for one to two pages in length, but longer resumes are acceptable if necessary. It is generally recommended to include a cover letter, but not necessary if the job posting states otherwise. Update your resume whenever new experiences or accomplishments arise and review it every six months to keep it current.

I once thought my remote control must have gone outside the universe. It turned out to be between the sofa cushions.
