b'Graduate Resume and Curriculum Vitae Guide\nWHAT IS A RESUME?\n\xef\x82\xb7\n\xef\x82\xb7\n\nYour marketing tool to prospective employers in industry\nA concise one- to three-page document that highlights your most relevant experiences and skills tailored to each position to\nwhich you are applying\nTip: Create a master resume of all your experiences and accomplishments. Use this record to write a one- to three-page tailored\nresume for each position you apply for highlighting your most relevant qualifications.\n\nWHAT IS A CURRICULUM VITAE (CV)?\n\xef\x82\xb7\n\xef\x82\xb7\n\nAn academic version of a resume that provides a professional archive of all your experiences related to your academic career\nFor graduate students, a CV is typically a few pages. Length can be determined by the amount and depth of your experiences.\nA CV should then be tailored to the position you are applying for by ordering your sections from most to least relevant\n\xef\x82\xb7 Use your CV as a professional archive and keep it updated with all your accomplishments\nTip: Consider consulting with a faculty member or advisor for advice and feedback on your CV because they often serve on hiring\ncommittees and have experienced an academic job search.\n\nTO GET STARTED WITH YOUR RESUME OR CV:\n\n\xef\x80\xb1\xef\x80\xa9 Make a list of your experiences: Education, research, teaching, publications/presentations, organizations, etc.\n\xef\x80\xb2\xef\x80\xa9 Think about your contributions, skills you used and developed, and your significant achievements\n\xef\x80\xb3\xef\x80\xa9 Begin to craft your resume or CV by organizing these experiences into sections (examples below)\nThere are many sections that could be a part of your document. It is important to keep in mind that your document should be\nspecific to your experience and the position for which you are applying. You have flexibility in the choice, naming, and placement of\nsections. While your contact information and education are usually listed first, other sections can be in any order, based on your\nstrengths and the requirements of the position or opportunity. If you are unsure if you should provide a resume or a CV, you may\nwant to contact the organization directly to see which they prefer.\n\nRESUME AND CV SECTIONS\nBelow is a list of common sections you may use when creating your document. To see examples of these sections, refer to the\nexample resume and CV at the end of this guide.\n__________________________________________________________________________________________________________\n\nCONTACT INFORMATION:\nInclude your name, present and/or permanent address, telephone number, and email address.\n__________________________________________________________________________________________________________\n\nSUMMARY OF QUALIFICATIONS:\nIncluded on a resume, a set of bullet points (skills statements) that concisely highlight skills and experiences on your resume that\nrelate directly to the position.\n__________________________________________________________________________________________________________\n\nEDUCATION:\nInclude all institutions of higher education you have attended and are currently attending in reverse-chronological order (most\nrecent first).

If included as part of\nyour CV, references may be placed at the end of the document.\n\nPage 2\n\n\x0cTRANSFERABLE SKILLS:\nAs you begin your search for a career and/or job, it is important to know your qualifications and communicate these skills to an\nemployer through your resume, cover letter, and interview. Over the years you have developed many skills through your\ncoursework, extracurricular activities, and life experiences. Review the list below and identify which transferrable skills you have\nand reflect on how you acquired these skills. Use this information when creating your resume to describe your experiences and the\nskills gained from these experiences. For example, if you have researched a topic for class and then wrote, edited, and presented a\nfinal research paper in front of your peers, you have used skills (gathering information, writing, problem-solving, presenting) which\nare not limited to that specific academic discipline, but are transferable to many occupations.\n\nResearch and\nplanning\n\nHuman relations\n\nOrganizing,\nmanagement and\nleadership\n\nWork survival\n\nThe skillful expression\nand interpretation of\nknowledge and ideas.\n\nThe search for specific\nknowledge and the ability\nto conceptualize future\nneeds and solutions.\n\nThe use of interpersonal\nskills for resolving\nconflict, relating to and\nhelping people.\n\nAbility to supervise and\nguide individuals and\ngroups in the\ncompletion of goals.\n\nThe daily skills that\nassist in promoting\neffective production and\nwork satisfaction.\n\nSpeaking effectively\n\nPredicting\n\nDeveloping\nrelationships\n\nInitiating new ideas\n\nImplementing decisions\n\nWriting effectively\n\nCreating theories and\nideas\n\nBeing sensitive\n\nHandling details\n\nCooperating\n\nIdentifying problems\n\nListening\n\nCoordinating tasks\n\nEnforcing policies\n\nImagining alternatives\n\nConveying feelings\n\nManaging groups\n\nBeing punctual\n\nIdentifying resources\n\nProviding support\n\nDelegating\nresponsibility\n\nManaging time\n\nGathering information\n\nMotivating\n\nTeaching\n\nSolving problems\n\nSharing credit\n\nPerceiving non-verbal\nmessages\n\nCoaching\n\nSetting goals\n\nCounseling\n\nAdvising\n\nPresenting information\n\nExtracting information\n\nCooperating\n\nPromoting change\n\nAccepting\nresponsibility\n\nDescribing feelings\n\nDefining needs\n\nDelegating with respect\n\nInterviewing\n\nDeveloping evaluations\n\nRepresenting others\n\nSelling ideas or\nproducts\n\nSetting and meeting\ndeadlines\n\nEditing\n\nCreating spreadsheets\nand databases\n\nPerceiving feelings,\nsituations\n\nDecision making with\nothers\n\nOrganizing\n\nCommunication\n\nListening attentively\nExpressing ideas\nFacilitating discussions\nNegotiating\nPersuading\n\nCalculating results\n\nAsserting\n\nAttending to detail\nMeeting goals\nEnlisting help\n\nMaking decisions\nManaging conflict\n\nPage 3\n\n\x0cACTION VERBS:\nAction verbs are an effective way to begin a skills statement.

Generally a graduate resume\nshould be 2-3 full pages and a CV should be 3-5 pages long. However, based on your experiences, career field, and the position\ndescription, it could be longer or shorter. Whatever the case, only print your document on one side of the paper and include\nyour name and the page number at the top of each page.\nAvoid using a resume or CV template. This decreases your ability to personalize and make changes as your document evolves.\nYour resume or CV should be well organized, without spelling errors, and easy to read. An employer spends a short amount of\ntime reading your document\xe2\x80\x94it is imperative that the employer clearly sees the most important qualifications.\nTo organize your document, you may choose to use bold, italics, all caps, indenting, and bullets. You will want to use these\nsparingly to emphasize the most important information. Avoid pictures, graphics, non-black ink, shading, and symbols instead\nof traditional, round, solid bullet points.\nIt is a good idea to start with a 1-inch margin on each side. You can expand the margins if need be. Font size should be\nbetween 10-12 point, and you will want to choose easy to read font styles, such as Times New Roman, Arial, or Garamond.\nKeep font size and style consistent throughout your CV (except for your name, which should be a larger size).\nPresent your resume or CV on quality bond paper (20 pound)\xe2\x80\x94choose white or off-white to ensure your document is easy to\nread.\nIf you are filling out an online application where you cannot upload your document directly, keep the format simple when\nfilling in required information.\nIf you are requested to submit your documents via email, save your resume or CV and cover letter (if applicable) as attachments. Include a brief note in the body of the email stating your purpose.\n\nTIPS FOR RESUME AND CV WRITING:\n\xef\x82\xb7\n\xef\x82\xb7\n\xef\x82\xb7\n\xef\x82\xb7\n\xef\x82\xb7\n\xef\x82\xb7\n\xef\x82\xb7\n\xef\x82\xb7\n\xef\x82\xb7\n\n\xef\x82\xb7\n\nMake sure that your resume or CV is a unique and personal document. It is a great idea to look at examples of resumes or CVs\nbut also important to make it your own.\nThere are some suggestions that we provide when writing a resume or CV, but there are also options and room for choice. If\nyou give your document to several people, they may all give you different feedback. Beyond some of our strongly suggested\nguidelines, resumes and CVs are subjective.\nBe 100% honest and factual. Avoid abbreviations.\nOrganize your document so the most important information is at the top.\nDo not include a work history. Rather, include your most related experiences or those where you demonstrated a high level of\nskill.\nPersonal information, such as marital status, age, ethnicity, height, and weight should not be included.\nAvoid personal pronouns (I, my, we) and complete sentences to describe your experiences. Start your statements with action\nverbs.\nAlways proofread your resume or CV. Do not solely rely on spell check. Some employers may eliminate candidates based on\nerrors.\nIt is suggested that you tailor your resume or CV to the job description. You may have more than one version of your\ndocument depending on the positions to which you are applying . You may change the order of sections to list more relevant\nareas of your experience closer to the top.\nRemember that your resume or CV is YOUR marketing tool. Many times it is an employer\xe2\x80\x99s first impression of you. It is also a\nwork in progress that you will continually revise.\n\nADDITIONAL RESOURCES:\n\xef\x82\xb7\n\xef\x82\xb7\n\xef\x82\xb7\n\nVisit www.ccse.umn.edu to view our Resume Writing or Curriculum Vitae Workshops.\nVisit the CSE Career Center Resource Center to view our Resume Examples Binder and related books.\nHave your resume or CV reviewed by a CSE Career Counselor. You can email to ccse@umn.edu.
