Résumé Writing Do's and Don'ts. The SPACED OUT DOC Cheat Sheet. Don't just list a work history chronology. Do list transferable skills and academic experience. It's imperative to convey where you are headed and how you'd push the org forward. Don't have a poorly formatted résumé. Format helps with continuity and flow. Make it easy for recruiters. They review thousands of résumes, and you don't want yours thrown out based on poor formatting. Don't be inconsistent with tenses. Current job should be in present-tense, and past jobs should be in past-tense. Be consistent because this makes your résumé clear and purposeful. Don't have unmeasurable or unquantifiable bullets. Make each bullet count by ensuring measurable, quantifiable, and actionable results. List what you are doing / leading or did / led in measurable, actionable, and quantifiable ways so that recruiters can gauge your level of impact. Don't have an out-of-date LinkedIn profile. Your résumé should match the timelines, job titles, and academia listed on your LinkedIn. Organizations will online-research you.
