Highlight your skills and abilities: 
We want to know your accomplishments and what drives you. Share relevant experiences and specific attributes like self-discipline, collaboration and attention to detail to show us why you'd be a great fit.

Tailor your resume: Read the job description thoroughly and focus on the matching skills and experience you would bring to the new role.

Keep it simple: Brevity is important. Be careful not to overload your resume with too much detail.

Consult with others: Ask a few trusted friends, family members or advisers to review the document. They'll help ensure that it reads well and highlights your strongest attributes.

Do a final review: Make sure your resume is completely free of any spelling and grammatical errors.

Research and rehearse
Stay up to date on the news, both general and firm-specific, so you can speak from a place of knowledge and confidence. Mock interviews with friends or family can help you practice your responses.
