If you have no experience in developing a resume and are looking to get your first job, it is advisable that you use a basic and hassle-free resume structure, and once done you can adapt and add information according to your needs.
To get started, it’s important to have all the data on hand so you can write it easily.
Don’t write your resume by hand, unless your employer or company demands it this way. It is always preferable that you do it on a computer and with a suitable font.
Be breb, concise and direct. The resume should not go past one or two sheets at most.
Check the resume a couple of times to correct possible misspellings
Be honest and never investigate information
Use blackists and highlights for clarity and professionalism.
We do not advise you to use abbreviations or colloquial expressions.
Attach a photo to the resume, it must be recent and credential size. Preferable to color.

Academic training: Maximum degrees and studies you have, end date and place where you took them.
Complementary training or experience: Courses, seminars, conferences. Specific duration, place and date. As well as company name, date, job and performed functions.
