Resume Formatting

Parts of a Resume Heading (personal information) Career Objective Education Work Experience Volunteering Other Achievements References

Header Name Address City, Province Phone #

Inappropriate Information Age Height Weight Social Insurance Number State of health Marital status Citizenship Religion

A career objective must: Highlight that you are a qualified candidate Emphasize the contribution that you can make to the organization Entice the employer to read the rest of your application Career Objective

Education In reverse chronological order Don’t abbreviate If you have gone to more than one school include that You can include your grades (ie. Hounours) if you think it will help you (you do not have to though)

Look at the formatting Bolded Heading, Date and description Tabbed to align perfectly Throughout your resume tour indents will line up

Work Experience Employers are not expecting you to have tons of work experience they are expecting for this to be your first job Think about what you have done that could be considered work, babysitting, yard work… List your duties and responsibilities of the job, think of what an employer would like to hear Babysitting… what could we put?

Work Experience Example My formatting is the same from one section to the next Very Important to make your resume look professional

Volunteering + Other Achievements Keep the formatting the same as with Education and Work Experience Give each of these their own section Other Achievements could be called something else (skills, certifications, awards)

References Between 3-5 Make sure you ask them first They should be people that have seen you work or would be a good character reference If someone has seen you work but you don’t think they will give you a good reference… DON’T USE THEM!

Reference Example Mike Anthony Restaurant Manager Burger World, North Bay

Formatting Consider the following important points: Layout Margins: 1” x 1” Consistency with format Paper quality and colour Excellent print quality (single-sided) Font and size Length of resumé (2 pages) cover letter 1, references 1 Use bullets (not *,, -)
