Before you start

  • You should always adapt your resume to the job posting. While being truthful and
    authentic, ensure your resume reflects as many of the requirements of the role as
    possible (e.g. professional/technical skills, experience, education), which will be outlined
    in the job description. Many companies use an automated system to scan resumes for
    keywords to select applicants for interviews, so try to match your resume language to
    the job description. That said, you can still apply even if you don’t meet all the
    requirements.
