Resume 101

Resume Why do I need a resume?  A resume is your calling card, your advertisement, your brochure, your flyer  It’s a one page handout that shows what a great catch you are. What can I do with a resume?  Mail it. it. *Post it online. Ask friends to give it to their managers. Hand it out at job fairs. Give it to employee agencies.  The idea is to get it into the hands of as many hiring managers as your can. If a hiring manager like what she/he sees in your resume, you could get invited to a job interview.

Frequently Asked Questions What if I’m not a good writer?  That’s okay! Writing your resume will be easy with online templates, handouts etc.  You will be getting a handout from me that you will treat as your bible! Do hiring managers actually read all of the resumes they receive?  Speaking from personal experience, No. They only read the ones that pass a quick glance

Resume Your contact information  Tell employers where they can reach you  At the top of the page, type your full name with area code, and address. Your goal  In one short sentence tell what kind of work you want  “Seeking full-time postion as a ______.”  “Seeking a full-time, entry level position as a _____.”

Resume Education  Start with your most recent school or program  On the first line, give the name of your diploma, degree, or certification (BS in Business) On the same line give your date of graduation.  If you haven’t graduated yet, give your major plus your beginning and ending date of enrollment.  On the next line give the school’s name and address  Repeat for additional schools

Resume Work Experience  Start with your most recent employer  On the first line give your job title plus your beginning and ending dates of employment  On the next line give the employer's name and address  On the next 5 lines, list the job requirements with examples from your past (Use action verbs)  Repeat for additional employers

Resume No Work Experience  Instead of a Work Experience section, create a section titled “Accomplishments”  One the fist line in the section, list one of the job requirements  Under the job requirement, offer two or three substitute examples from school, sports, volunteering, or other life projects to show that you have achieved in that area.  Repeat if needd
