Resume Tips
Make Sure Your Resume Is Working For You
MAKE YOUR RESUME STAND OUT
From the recruiting team to hiring managers to co-workers, each perspective brings a unique lens to reviewing resumes. Crafting one that resonates with each viewpoint will elevate your profile and make you memorable.
SELL YOUR SKILLS
- Recruiters start by asking: Does the candidate's experience match the job?
- Use keywords from the job description to highlight the experience you have.
- Design for easy scanning: Bold relevant information and align content to the left.
- Order your experience by relevance to the job, explain how your skills can benefit our team.
- Use quantitative data when possible, to explain the impact that your work had.
- Be sure that your resume, cover letter, or CV are tailored to General Dynamics Mission Systems and the specific job for which you are applying.
WATCH OUT FOR THESE RED FLAGS
- Misspellings, bad grammar, inconsistent formatting/styling.
- Short stays at many different companies.
- Unexplained large gaps in job history.
- Using acronyms from previous companies.
- Empty and overused words (ex. Responsible for)
