How to Improve your Resume?

Now that you have a job listing in mind, it is now time for the crucial step of starting or updating your resume to best match the qualifications of the role. While you may think that it is okay to send your resume as is, it is important to look through your resume and see if you provide key words, proper action terms, and relevant information that direct applies to the skills on the listing. Now is the time to review over and listen to these resources that I have listed in this section. They are ZipRecruiter and ResumeWorded.

What is ZipRecruiter?

While you may know ZipRecruiter as a website for looking up jobs in your area it is also home to a plethora of resources about how to structure your experience into a fine-tuned resume. The resource compiles data from thousands of Manfacturing engineer internships that have been posted on their site and finds correlations among them to see what employers are looking for in a candidate and how to tailor your resume to the necessary skills that are sought out after.

How to use ZipRecruiter?

TIP 1:

To get the most out of this resource, you should have your resume on hand and job description for a manufacturing engineering internship you are interested in.

TIP 2:

As you read through the article, compare the top-listed skills and keywords to the language used in the job posting and your own resume. This will help you identify any gaps, such as skills or terms you might be missing.

TIP 3:

When you are updating your resume try to naturally integrate these keywords into the descriptions of your coursework//projects and previous experience instead of listing them.

What is ResumeWorded?

ResumeWorded is a website that focuses on analyzing and showing examples of resumes and templates based on certain specific jobs. In this page, that I have linked to focuses on Manufacturing Engineers resumes when applying to related jobs. Each resume in here is relevant and current (2025) and provides a good base structure of how you should be formatting your resume along with specific tips on how to rewrite bullet points to make it more appealing to read.

How to use ResumeWorded?

TIP 1:

To effectively utilize this resource, begin by exploring the resume examples that align with your experience level, particularly the entry-level templates. Observe how each resume emphasizes quantifiable achievements, such as "improved production efficiency by 15%," to highlight the candidate's impact. Use these examples as a guide to rephrase your own academic projects, internships, or lab experiences in a results-oriented manner.

TIP 2:

Pay attention to the structure and formatting of the resumes—note the clear section headings, consistent spacing, and the use of strong action verbs. If you are uncertain about how to articulate a particular experience, consider adapting sentence structures from the examples to fit your own background.

TIP 3:

Additionally, review the tips provided at the end of the guide for advice on avoiding common pitfalls and enhancing the overall effectiveness of your resume.
