Resume Tips

Even in this age of the internet, a good old-fashioned, printable resume is a definite necessity. Here are some resume tips that may be helpful:

State “who you are”. Provide a brief statement describing who you are as it relates to the specific job of interest.

Describe your experience. We need evidence of your achievements and responsibilities, both academic and professional. How does your experience relate to the job opportunity you are seeking with Catalyst.

Tell us about you. We don’t need a complete biography, but do want to see a couple of items about your hobbies, interests, and activities outside of the office. “All work and no play” is not a Catalyst core value.

Keep it simple. Keep your content focused on illustrating why you can help us, not why the job would be good for you personally.

Focus on one opportunity at a time. If you are applying for multiple unrelated positions, send in individual applications. If you are applying for related positions, send in one application and we will consider best fit.
