graduating from college and need Good Resume tips, got any?

help please. I am gettin a Degree in human bio and have had a couple waitressing and bartending jobs and for the past year have been doing volunteer Work in an Emergency Room and Cardiology Unit. Wanna do patient care work in a hospital and hopefully goin to nursing School in the fall. any help would be great. Thanks!

The best advice I ever got on writing my resume was to keep it short and make sure it’s easy to read.

If you picture the person who will be hiring you sitting at their desk and having to sift through a stack of Resumes, you can imagine why they wouldn’t want to read five pages crammed with info on each candidate. They want to be able to take one quick glance and get a basic sense of your Qualifications.

Keep it to one page. And not one page crammed with stuff. Make sure there’s a lot of white, empty space on the page so it will look easy to read.

Focus on the volunteer work you’ve done (listing responsibilities) because that seems to be in the same field and will definitely give you a big edge over people who have never worked in a hospital.

For the waitress/bartending jobs, keep it short but mention any special responsibilities you may have had (ie working register, being trusted with the keys to close the place, etc).

Good luck…
