Resume Best Practices

  • Results-Oriented Job Bullets: You should include approximately 2 to 4 bullets for each job, internship or project listed on your resume. These bullets should describe your key contributions and accomplishments. Each bullet should follow the format of Strong Verb + Action + Result/Impact. Click here for samples of impactful resume bullets.
  • Format: Be intentional about using clean and consistent formatting throughout your resume including:
    • Use the same font type throughout
    • Use past tense verbs in describing past positions and present tense verbs for current position(s).
    • Be consistent in the use of punctuation. For instance, either use periods at the end of all bullets or not.
    • Use bold, italics and underlining format consistently to break up text and make resume easy to read. For instance, if you bold city/state for your educational institutions, be sure to also bold city/state for your employers.
    • Use consistent formatting for your dates throughout your resume. For instance, if you spell out your months in Education, do not use numerical months in Experience
  • Required Sections: Your MSA resume must include the following sections: Education, Experience and Skills. We also recommend including Projects and/or Leadership/Extracurricular Activities sections if applicable. Be sure to add Georgia Tech MS Analytics under Education.
  • 1-Page in Length: Your resume should be 1-page unless you have significant work experience (i.e. 4+ years).

  • PDF format: Your resume should be saved as a PDF.
