Resume & Interview Tips

Make a great impression by following our tips to write your resume and interview for a position at Asante.

Resume Tips

Give yourself the best chance for consideration by making your resume well-organized and tailoring it to the position you’re applying to. When you create your resume:

Choose a font that is easy to read in 10- or 12-point font. Use bold headers.
Give a complete work and education history. List jobs in chronological order from current to oldest. Include job titles and reasons for leaving.
Highlight your unique accomplishments, skills and strengths. List certifications that are relevant to the position.
Keep length to two pages or less.
Make your resume eye-catching but simple and easy to read.
Use correct spelling, grammar and punctuation. Have another person review your resume to find any errors.
Use action words.
Include a career summary — a brief overview of who you are and what you do — instead of an objective statement.

If your skills match the position qualifications, a recruiter may contact you by email or phone to schedule a phone interview.

Phone Interview

Talk to the recruiter about the department or location you’re interested in. Your recruiter will give you a timeline of when to expect information by phone or email about next steps after the phone interview.

On-Site or Video Interview

If you move forward in the process, you’ll have an on-site or video interview. Learn more about the job application and interview process at Asante.
