The Sage Corps HQ team has reviewed more than 10,000 resumes from program applicants and we’ve worked with dozens of alumni to polish their one-pagers. We see leadership experience that blows us away. We see really meaningful, transferable skills highlighted, but we also see the same issues – not-so-great kind of issues – over and over and over again

Top schools, impressive GPAs, relevant coursework —all good.

But more often than not, the issues come up in the Experience section. Don’t worry; these common blunders have easy fixes and MUST be fixed before sending your resume to another potential employer.
