How WeVersity Builds a Competitive Resume.

With education becoming more accessible to the masses, a competitive resume has never been more important. WeVersity strives to connect students to the resources they need to stand out. 

So what makes a competitive resume? Forbes.com provides these tips:

• Use keywords! Most employers use Applicant Tracking Systems (ATS) to scan resumes before taking a closer look. Therefore, long, drawn-out sentences should be replaced with concise keywords when possible.
• Include a LinkedIn profile if possible. Resumes usually don’t exceed two pages, so a profile allows employers to learn more about you. In addition, adding a profile increases your chances of landing an interview. 
• Simplicity is key. Colorful resumes can be a deterrent to some employers, and verbose resumes decrease your chances of passing the ATS. 

As previously mentioned, WeVersity uses its platform to connect individuals to resources and ensure they successfully enter the workforce. However, these ideas are more than just dreams- WeVersity.org hosts numerous events, courses, and articles.
