Keep it to one page Recruiters skim resumes quickly. Keep the strongest material visible and trim older or less relevant entries before shrinking fonts or margins. **90% of 62** fully read resumes are one page. ### 2. Lead with education while you are in school Put your school, degree, and graduation date first while you are a student. Move experience above education when internships say more about you than coursework. **84% of 58** resumes with readable sections put education before experience. ### 3.

Put a number in your bullet points Open each bullet with what you did and close with the result. Use concrete figures such as users, revenue, latency, accuracy, or hours saved. A typical resume has **19 bullet points**, and **56%** carry a figure. ### 5. List your GPA if it helps you Include a GPA when it is near or above the average; otherwise let coursework and projects carry the education section. **19%** of the 63 resumes list a GPA on a 4.0 scale, and those GPAs average **3.81**. ### 6.
