PDF Format

You have worked hard to make a clean cut and

meticulously formatted resume for international

internships and jobs alike.

The recruiter pulls it up on their computer and can

only see a jumbled mess of words and shapes. It

happens too often that the different configurations of

writing applications change the formatting to make

your resume unreadable.

Make sure this doesn’t happen to you by converting

your resume to PDF format.

Keep The Reader In Mind

Remember that a real person is looking at these resumes. They are looking for awesome candidates to integrate into the team.

You want to make this process as simple and easy as possible by making your resume the best fit for the international internship position.

It is not their job to do you any favors. Let them know that you will be a seamless addition to the team.

•

LinkedIn profile can help:

• In this age of social media, it is not surprising that the new rule of resume writing is to include your LinkedIn profile.

• But, before you do so, ensure that you have a great profile and you have listed all that you have meticulously and you have good connections and recommendations.

• This profile should support your resume, remember that.

The print version too should be neat:

• Even if you are sending your resume via e-mail, keep a print version ready because you may be asked to carry a copy with you for the interview. Hence, ensure that you are using a good printer, that’s an evergreen rule.
