The video will teach you the foundations of a communications r\u00e9sum\u00e9.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading section--title\">Key Takeaways<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li>Keep it to the front side of one page only. To save space, use margins that are 0.5-1\u201d around and a sans serif font that is 10- to 12-point. Single space your document, but skip a line between your listed experiences.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li>Develop bullet points that give detail about what your responsibilities\/duties were for the position. Be specific. Use metrics (frequency, numbers) to show results and impact.&nbsp;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li>Use action words to convey skills used. Avoid passive words and phrases, such as \u201cresponsible for\u201d or \u201cresponsibilities included.\u201d<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li>Don\u2019t give a list of courses without context. Course titles mean nothing to the employer without the context indicating what you learned. If you include coursework on your resume, give context by providing bulleted detail of what you did in the class and format as similarly as possible to your other experiences.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li>List your experiences by order of relevance first, followed by reverse chronology. It\u2019s ok if the dates are slightly out of order.&nbsp;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li>Content (experience!) is the most important element of your resume. The employer will make a decision based on what you\u2019ve done, not based on the design of your document.&nbsp;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li>Attend the CDC&#8217;s R\u00e9sum\u00e9 &amp; Cover Letter Seminar!

Your resume does need to be easy to read, but it doesn\u2019t have to be fancy. If you can design a resume, then great! But if you need to use Microsoft Word, that\u2019s fine. The most important element of a resume is the content. Without that, the most aesthetically pleasing resume won\u2019t be successful. To make a modern-looking resume, select a sans serif font for the content of your resume and a contrasting font for your section titles and your name at the top. Once you save it as a PDF, no one will know which program you used to design it!<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/article>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group section
