Accounting and Finance Resume Tips

• Keep your resume in reverse chronological order (most recent experience listed first)
• Limit your resume to one page
• Use professional fonts (such as Times New Roman or Arial) with a font size between 10 and 12. White space should be consistent between sections of text.
• No more than 5-6 bullet points for any given section
• Start your bullet points with action verbs
• Highlight accomplishments and skills that are most relevant to the job at hand (see job ads from the companies you're applying to in order to get a feel for this)
