Everyone knows it’s to get a job. Rather, list an overview of some of your core competencies. • Try to organize your job descriptions for the position for which you are applying • Use phrases instead of sentences and make sure you are consistent with you style and font • Showcase your skills and abilities. • Remember, the most important requirements for a position are listed first.
