How to write a great FedEx resume

It’s important to start with a solid introduction that highlights the skills and accomplishments that make you a great candidate. Make sure the traits and knowledge you include are relevant to the position you want. This example includes an introductory paragraph followed by a bulleted point list of skills. Don’t make your list of skills too long; nine is a good number to have. Placing your list of skills near the top of your resume gives your potential employer a brief summary to quickly assess if you’re a good fit for the position.

You’ll want to include your job experience in reverse chronological order next. In the example, you’ll see that each role starts with a brief description of the key responsibilities in a paragraph. Keeping each description short is critical. It’s not necessary to list every responsibility or task that was performed, but try to include any tasks you’ve performed that are also in the job posting. The most important part of the professional experience description is the bullets at the end that describe major accomplishments, including numbers whenever possible. Your objective is to impress your potential new boss, so make each bullet point count.

Keeping your resume short can be difficult, especially if you have a lot of experience. Keep in mind, most hiring managers and HR staff will not read a resume that is more than a page or two. A typical recruiter only spends seconds looking at a resume before deciding to keep it or discard it.

Write each part of your resume with the mindset that you are the best at what you do. Be proud of your career and use your words to express how great you are. It’s okay to brag a bit about your work history, but make sure you are truthful and don’t exaggerate your experience. If you do, it will come back to bite you.
