Definition: rés·u·mé n. A summary, esp. a brief record of one’s personal history and experience submitted for a job.

The Resume: A Reflection of You How do you want to present yourself? What experiences and skills do you want to highlight? What accomplishments do you want to showcase?

The Resume: Important Things to Consider It is a promotional piece designed to sell YOU! It is intended to get you the interview, NOT the job. Not a comprehensive detailed history of career, but a summary of experiences, qualifications and skills.

The Resume: Basics to Remember Keep it to one page Use standard 8 ½ x 11 paper White and ivory are generally the acceptable colors of paper to use Use a laser quality printer Stick with a font such as Times New Roman or Arial Proofread, Proofread and Proofread again!

The Resume: Where do I begin? Make a list with the categories below: HEADING JOB OBJECTIVE EDUCATION EXPERIENCE ACTIVIES AND INTERESTS then…

Brainstorming: What to consider… Jobs Responsibilities Leadership Experience Honors and Awards Scholarships College Classes Class Projects IT ALL COUNTS! Special Skills Campus Involvement Community Involvement Computer Knowledge Promotions Career-Related Experience Goals You Want to Achieve

The Resume: Putting it all together Determine what information is the most important. Use clear and forceful wording Stress achievements Quantify whenever possible Decide on a format

The Resume: Which type do I choose?  Distinguish Yourself Pick a format that will grab the reader’s attention and that best highlights your accomplishments. REVERSE CHRONOLOGICAL or FUNCTIONAL/CHRONOLOGICAL The choice is yours…

The Resume: Reverse Chronological Most common format used Experiences listed in order of most recent to the furthest in time List names, dates and places of employment Education and work experience grouped separately Good for showing progression in a career Highlights related job experience

The Resume: Functional/Chronological Focuses on the transferable skills that you have gained through your education, leadership, and work experiences Experiences grouped under heading such as: Communication Skills, Leadership Abilities, and Research and Writing Skill, etc. Education and work experience are listed from most recent to the furthest date

The Resume: Before you start, remember… Have a focused objective Education is your biggest selling point Stay away from italics Use action verbs that show a variety of skills Pay attention to verb tenses Be consistent
