Create a Master Resume
⏳ Nobody has the time to read a multi-page resume. Most professionals only take 6-7 seconds to look at a 1-page resume.
1. Make a copy of the template and name it “Your Full Name Resume_Interest”
- Ex. MaiLinh Ho Resume_Marketing
- This helps you quickly identify the resume that is relevant to your field of interest.
2. Modify your education, experience, projects, awards/achievements, and skills sections to keep within 1 page.
- Include only those that are relevant to your field of interest/the opportunity to further tailor your resume.
- Include as many keywords that are relevant to your field of interest/the opportunity listing. You can Google or ask ChatGPT to give you a list of keywords that are relevant. For example, ChatGPT gave me these keywords that are relevant for marketing:

Consider other resume templates, depending on:
- Creative industry/career paths (e.g. design): experiment with fonts, colors, and layouts to showcase your creativity and design skills found on sites like Canva.
- Ensure the template is easy to read and skim, not a distracting design.
- Use clear headings, font sizes, and spacing.
- Avoid using your image as it increases the risk of bias.
- Professional brand: choose a template that reflects your personality and professional style, considering the overall tone and visual appeal of the template.
This is an example of an industry-aligned resume:
Included are experiences and keywords relevant to the identified internship focus of marketing and tech.
