Brooke County Libraries - Resume Tip #7:
Use uniform punctuation.
One small detail on your resume that can make a huge difference is punctuation. And it's a simple one!
No matter what position you're applying for or how long your resume is, this is an important concept. Your resume will be chock full of periods, commas, capital letters, parenthesis, and more, of course. Just make sure to use the same format for each line and/or section.
