A barrier to entry, not a privilege or an opportunity. But after applying to jobs successfully and, more importantly, <em>unsuccessfully<\/em> for years, I can attest to the power of a good resume.\u00a0And formatting your resume properly is key. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Most focus so much on the content that they overlook the value of the format. Your resume is your first introduction to every employer. Don\u2019t make them struggle to find your value with a poorly formatted document. Let the format help you create your story and sell who you are.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I know this can be so tedious, but properly formatting your resume will help you.
