Career Counselor’s Resume Tips for Breaking Into Finance

Keep your resume clean, focused, and result-oriented. Use strong action verbs and include numbers that show impact like revenue growth, deals closed, or process improvements. Highlight relevant skills (Excel, financial modeling, Power BI) and keep it to one page if you’re early in your career. Finally, tailor each resume to the specific role recruiters can tell when it’s generic.
