MIT CAPD: Resume Checklist

A tight pre-submission checklist from MIT — verify formatting, consistency, tense, and impact before you send a resume anywhere.

In plain terms: This practical checklist guides you through every section of a standard resume. Use it to check your formatting, proofread your verb tenses, and make sure your work experience shows clear results before applying.

From the site: Recruiters spend just a few seconds on average looking at a resume. Using a clear and consistent format helps.

Why I recommend it: Run this before every application. It catches what you stop seeing after the tenth draft.
