Detroit Resume Help: Show Employers What You Bring

Read the responsibilities and required qualifications before changing your resume. Identify the skills you actually have, then choose work, volunteer, military, school, or project examples that demonstrate them. Use the employer’s terminology when it accurately describes your experience.

• Use a working phone number and professional email address.
• Include a brief summary that identifies your relevant experience and target work.
• List recent experience with clear dates, role names, and responsibilities.
• Describe results when you can support them with facts; never invent numbers.
• Include relevant licenses, certifications, training, and practical skills.
• Follow the employer’s file-format instructions and use a readable layout.

Read your resume aloud, check spelling, and confirm the contact details. Open the saved file on your phone to see whether it is readable. Keep a copy of the version you submit and the job posting so you can prepare for a follow-up conversation.

The Hired In Michigan job-search class ↗ includes resume preparation within a practical application plan. Ask about available sessions and what to bring.
