  Campus Tecnologie 6 technologies Creatingyour resume: The structure of the online resume Step-by-step A DoYouBuzz resume is like a website. There is a home page and “secondary” pages (professional experience, educa- tion, skills...). The home page is similar to a one page re- sume. Space is limited so it is important to only include your most relevant and im- pressive information. The goal is to give a recruiter a good idea of what you can do in under 30 seconds. If there is too much information, your re- sume will be hard to read and may not get the attention it deserves. Secondary pages allow a recruiter to learn more about your professional experience. These pages should contain information that will support your case, but is not considered essential. Tips A great home page is usually structured as follows: 3 to 4 professional experiences 3 to 6 skill areas 2 to 3 diplomas or certifications 1 portfolio element
