Quick tips for building your résumé, nailing interviews, and leading with impact.

Featured Tip of the Week
Leverage your network early.

Keep it to one page
- Employers scan quickly! A single page is easier to read and ensures you highlight only the most relevant experience.
No more than 3 bullet points per role
- Focus on the most impactful responsibilities or achievements instead of listing everything you did.
Tailor it to the job description
- Adjust your bullet points and keywords to match the role you’re applying for, showing you’re a direct fit.
Use action verbs
- Start each bullet with strong verbs like led, created, managed, developed, organized.
Show measurable results
- Whenever possible, include numbers (e.g., “Increased event attendance by 30%”).

Research the company
- Know their mission, values, and recent projects so you can connect your answers to what they care about.
Practice STAR Method
- Prepare 2–3 examples using the STAR method (Situation, Task, Action, Result) to answer behavioral questions like “Tell me about a time you worked on a team.”
Perfect your introduction
- Have a clear, 60–90 second “Tell me about yourself” that summarizes your background, skills, and career goals.
