I feel proud of my new resume, would you share your thoughts on it?

I would really appreciate some constructive notes on this. I've used information I picked up from these forums and several other websites to create this resume. Its two pages, but I feel it is stronger with my previous work history (unrelated to health) because it illustrates leadership, critical thinking and dependability without saying it outright. Thank you!

Your résumé is to the point, expresses relevant information. Great!!! :up:

It looks really good.

You could drop the HS part, unless it's some really prestigious school.

And maybe play up any customer service skills, delegation, conflict resolution.

I do like the use of bullet points and action verbs

Nice job

I think your wording, etc. is excellent ... but here are a few suggestions.

Is it really 2 pages or is that just how it came out here on allnurses? As a new grad with limited experience, I think you could and should reduce it to one page. I don't think EVERY resume should be reduced to 1 page, but I think your resume could be and that it would help.

• There is a lot of "white space" and large print that could be reduced. Try out some slightly smaller fonts. Move the right margins of the individual cells in your bullet points to reduce the number of lines used for that content.
  
• Some of the content about your previous job could be either eliminated or combined under 1 bullet so that fewer lines are used. That previous employment section is taking up far too many lines.
  
• The skills section doesn't add anything of importance of almost everyone has those skills. It doesn't deserve 4 lines. Either combine them onto 1 or 2 lines or eliminate them.
  

If you did the above things, you would find you needed to make very few edits of significant content to get it down to one page. I think that would be worth doing.
