In the interest of space, an objective is not necessary.

For Example:

Objective: To Obtain an entry level position in mechanical engineering.

• If you are submitting an application for this kind of position, why have an objective in the first place?
• It's already understood.

1 Page: In a competitive job market, your resume receives a 20-30 second glance.

• Employers do not have time to read more than 1 page.

Reverse Chronological Order.

List your most recent experience first. From there, work your way backwards.

Verb Tense

• Present vs. Past
• When describing a job or internship's responsibilities, and it is still occurring, use present tense.
• If you completed the position, use past tense.

Action Verbs, Not Complete Sentences or Paragraphs.

• Omit personal pronouns (I, you, me, my, their, they're) and, "a", "an", and "the" to achieve a concise style that will be easier--and faster--for employers to read.

Bulleted Statements

• Although it takes up more space, it's quicker for the employer to read.

 
Engineering Terminology

• Emphasize skills learned and tasks completed.

 
Know When It's Appropriate to Edit

• For less relevant experience, list it towards the end of your resume.
• In some cases, you can condense or even omit it.
• Consult a career counselor for more direction
