having a strong resume is crucial for job applications, scholarship applications, college, etc. it is a sales tool and, ultimately, the first impression an employer/application reviewer will have of you. therefore, you need to make it interesting and impressive. below, i have listed a few tips and need-to-knows to help you build your resume. keep in mind that this list is geared toward industry jobs. while the information is still useful, it may be less relevant for those applying to digital marketing/design jobs. 

General

make different versions of your resume. by this i mean, have a master resume that lists everything. then, from that master resume, make specific resumes for each opportunity you are applying for. 

in high school/university, it is usually best to keep your resume to one page. unless you have done substantial work and are capable of filling up two pages, it is best to keep it short and concise.

always review your resume before submitting !! it is crucial that your resume does not include any typos 

Formatting 

keep your formatting consistent throughout your entire resume

use 11-12 point font, your name/headers should be no bigger than 14 point font

have a 1 inch margin all around your resume

do not include decorations (unless you are applying to a digital marketing/design job where aesthetics matter !!)

keep your font selection professional. my personal favorites are times new roman, garamond, and helvetica.

do not use caps unless it is for headers/titles (but even then, use caps at your own discretion)

Sections/Components to Include

name & contact info (phone number, email)

summary/3-5 second snapshot of your greatest accomplishments

job/internship/related experience

publications & speeches

awards & recognitions

memberships & affiliations

certifications

language skills

special/technical skills

extracurricular activities

Synonyms/Power Words

instead of “new,” use “unusual” or “innovative”

instead of “improved,” use “better” or “faster”

assessed/measured/quantified

conducted/performed/undertook

created/designed/developed

optimized/maximized

increased/reduced

spearheaded/led/directed

sooo i know asmr isn’t everyone’s cup of tea but i definitely find it useful, especially for studying. so here’s some of my channel/video recommendations  ♡

Hey guys! This post is super important! I want to take a minute to explain that 야 does not simply mean “hey.” I have seen countless tumblr posts and other sources translate 야 to “hey.” And, they aren’t exactly wrong, but there is no contextual understanding of this word’s usage. And that’s that most of the time, this is not a friendly word. It’s really aggressive and would probably be better translated as a “hey, wtf” kind of feeling. It isn’t a greeting and should really be used with the closest of friends because you could really hurt or surprise someone by using it wrong. And, I’m speaking from experience. I learned this the hard way. So, here are some examples.

야 너 미쳤어? Yo wft, are you crazy?

야 너 왜 그랬어? Hey what the hell. Why did you do that?

야 죽을래? Wtf you wanna die?

야! 내 카톡 왜 씹어!? Hey! Why are you ignoring my messages?

Once, you’re close to your friends, you can use it in a less aggressive and more positive way. But, you have to say it longer and in a lower tone. Tone of voice is really important. Kind of like yooooo~ Here are some examples.

야아아~ 덥지 ㅠㅠㅠ yoooo it’s so hot.

야아아아~ 남자 친구 생겼다면서? Yoooo, I heard you got a boyfriend?

야아 오늘 나 잘 하지 않았나? Yo~ didn’t I do a good job today?

야아아! 저 사람 봤어?? Yooo did you see that person?

So, when is this word appropriate? It definitely depends on the person and relationship. But, I honestly wouldn’t suggest using it. It’s great to know and understand, but this word could really hurt someone’s feelings when used wrong. Personally, I never use it. I have two friends who use it with each other, but they’re kind of rough and tough types who swear like sailors and have been best friends since middle school. Sometimes, I do use the second version though that’s used in a low tone for positive situations.
