Step 3: Include all relevant information in your resume.

Include your contact information and put it at the top of the resume: Name, telephone number, email, LinkedIn profile link, personal website, links to previous work.
You should have a list of work experience first and then education experience after. Arrange your work experience from most recent to least recent. Same for education.
Collect details on professional skills, certifications, and awards, and add these at the end if there’s space.

Step 4: Make sure to have a short summary or objective at the top of your resume.

Write a short and powerful summary statement that showcases your skills and experience. It can also include your own personal story similar to the one you wrote on Haven’s website.
Use keywords from the job posting to make your summary stand out.

Step 5: Make sure your resume is properly formatted and organized.

Use headings to organize your resume into clear and readable sections. “Summary” should be first, then “Work experience”, than “Education”, and then anything else relevant.
Use bullet points to list your achievements and skills, maximum 3-5 bullet points per job.

Step 6: Focus on your most recent, relevant, and impressive work experience.
