b'RESUME WRITING\nTips for resume formatting and content, with samples from alumni\nA resume is a brief, concise document that presents, and effectively sells, your most relevant and positive credentials for\nemployment, admission to graduate school, consideration for a scholarship or fellowship, or other professional purpose.\nAn employer will usually spend 15 to 30 seconds reviewing your resume, so the content of your resume must be clear,\nconcise, and targeted to the type of job for which you are applying.\n\nPreparation\nResumes should highlight skills and accomplishments that meet employer qualifications, excluding irrelevant\ninformation and experiences. Well-designed resumes will be visually appealing and free from any spelling, typographical,\npunctuation, or grammatical errors. All resumes should be written concisely in an organized format that presents the\nmost important information first.\nEmployers who read individual resumes spend very little time on each resume. Many large employers now use software\nprograms (Applicant Tracking Systems) to assist them with this initial review.\nIf your resume has a typo or grammatical error, it will probably jump off the page to an employer, and this is a way to\nweed you out of a candidate pool. Your resume may be the only chance you get to make an impression, so make it a\ngood one.\n\nConstructing Your Resume\nContact information\nBegin your resume with your name by capitalizing and using bold type.\n\xef\x82\xb7 Include street address, city, state, and zip code.\n\xef\x82\xb7 Include a phone number(s) where you can be reached.\n\xef\x82\xb7 Include your e-mail address.\nObjective (Optional)\nThe purpose of the objective statement is to inform the employer of your career goals and targeted interests. Objectives\nare no longer as widely used as they once were, as employers expect you to cover the same information in more detail\nin the cover letter. If you would like to include an objective, review the samples on the last page of this handout.\nA career/job objective may be advantageous when:\n\xef\x82\xb7 You want to specify your interests and where you would fit in the organization.\n\xef\x82\xb7 You want to present the impression of a focused, self-confident person.\nA career/job objective is not advantageous when it is:\n\xef\x82\xb7 Too broad and meaningless, reflecting indecision.\n\xef\x82\xb7 Too exclusive, eliminating you from jobs for which you might be considered.\nQualifications or Experience Summary (Optional)\nA summary of qualifications can condense an extensive background by emphasizing experiences and accomplishments\nin brief keyword phrases. The qualifications summary is accomplishment-oriented and provides an overview of your\nwork experience. It can also serve to summarize relevant academic, volunteer and leadership experience for those who\nhave limited work experience. A summary is most appropriate for someone with substantial experience, someone who\nis changing careers and wants to demonstrate transferable skills, or someone with a varied background. They\xe2\x80\x99re most\noften used by graduate students and working professionals.\n\n\x0cEducation\nIf your education relates to your objective and is within the past three years, it should be the first section. If not,\neducation should follow the work experience section of your resume.\nIn reverse-chronological order, this section includes the schools you have attended, dates of graduation or dates of\nattendance, as well as degrees sought or completed. Other information that might be included: related coursework,\nscholarships and honors, and special projects (e.g. research projects, teaching).\n\xef\x82\xb7 Start with your most recent degree or the program in which you are currently enrolled. List other degrees or\nrelevant education in reverse chronological order.\n\xef\x82\xb7 Highlight key info by using bold type or capital letters.\n\xef\x82\xb7 Most students begin with the university, followed by the location, degree, and graduation date. You can consider\nlisting your degree before the name of the university as well.\n\xef\x82\xb7 Should I include my GPA? If you are uncertain about including your GPA, ask a Career Services advisor for\nrecommendations based on your individual circumstances.\nWithin this section, you may also want to highlight coursework, research, or a study abroad experience.\n\xef\x82\xb7 Consider listing relevant coursework under the appropriate degree.\n\xef\x82\xb7 You may want to describe thesis, research or design projects (Note: You may want to have a separate \xe2\x80\x9cRelated\nCourse Projects\xe2\x80\x9d section \xe2\x80\x93 see examples in this handout).\nChronological Format\nIn the chronological resume, job history is organized chronologically with the most recent job listed first. Job titles and\nemployers are emphasized and duties and accomplishments are described in detail.\n\xef\x82\xb7 Begin with your current/most recent position and work backward, chronologically.\n\xef\x82\xb7 Devote more space to relevant employment/experiences.\n\xef\x82\xb7 If your job titles relate to your current job objective, start each position description with job titles. If not, begin\nwith the organization.\n\xef\x82\xb7 Follow job title and organizational information with the organization\'s city and state.\n\xef\x82\xb7 Use the first and last month (or semester terms, such as Fall, Spring, and Summer) and year to describe dates of\nemployment.\n\xef\x82\xb7 Describe experiences related to the position you\xe2\x80\x99re applying for in detail. Summarize earlier positions unless\nrelevant to your objective. Within each listed position, stress the major accomplishments and responsibilities that\ndemonstrate your competency\n\nResume Checklist\nThe following checklist has been designed to assist you in writing your resume. This checklist reflects the expertise of the\nCareer Center staff developed through critiquing thousands of resumes, discussing selection criteria with numerous\nemployers, and gathering input from a wide range of career professionals.\nAppearance\n\xef\x82\xb7 Is it inviting and easy to read; not too much information uses appropriate font styles (sans serif fonts are often\nrecommended but the serif font Times New Roman is accepted) and font sizes (10-12 pts.)\n\xef\x82\xb7 Incorporates enough white space between sections to facilitate skimming; adequate margins creates visual impact\n(minimum is .5in on all four sides); using bullets; boldface, italics, and font sizes to emphasize key words (for\nscannable resumes, use boldface only)\nOrganization and Format\n\xef\x82\xb7 Presents strongest qualifications first\n\xef\x82\xb7 Appropriate length: For most cases, one page for undergraduates, more for those with advanced degrees for\nseveral years of post-grad work experience (2-3 pages)\nWriting Style\n\xef\x82\xb7 Begins phrases with powerful action verbs\n\n\x0c\xef\x82\xb7\n\n\xef\x82\xb7\n\xef\x82\xb7\n\nShort bullets (1-2 lines) with 2-6 bullets per experience (depending on how related it is to the opportunity you\nseek); you can list an experience without listing bullets if you want the employer to know about your involvement\nbut it\xe2\x80\x99s not directly related to the position\nBrief, succinct language; no unnecessary words\nAbsolutely free from grammatical, spelling, punctuation, usage, and typographical errors\n\nCONTENT:\nContact Information\n\xef\x82\xb7 Address, current and permanent (if necessary \xe2\x80\x93 otherwise just choose one)\n\xef\x82\xb7 Telephone number\nObjective (Optional)\n\xef\x82\xb7 Briefly indicates the sort of position, title, and possible area of specialization sought\n\xef\x82\xb7 For management or supervisory positions, indicates level of responsibility sought\n\xef\x82\xb7 Language is specific, employer centered not self-centered; avoids broad or vague statements\nSummary of Skills, Accomplishments, or Expertise (Optional)\n\xef\x82\xb7 Identifies 3-6 key achievements that support the objective\n\xef\x82\xb7 Summarizes relevant work experience and accomplishments that support the objective\nEducation\n\xef\x82\xb7 Highest level of attainment is listed first; work from most current degree backward degree in progress or most\nrecently completed degree; include name of university, location of university, type of degree and major, date of\ngraduation, list of other degrees, relevant higher education coursework, continuing professional education or\ntraining\n\xef\x82\xb7 Courses, and study abroad\n\xef\x82\xb7 Second major, minor, or areas of concentration\n\xef\x82\xb7 Omit high school if you have completed more than two years of college unless referencing impressive honors or\nrelevant extracurricular activities\n\xef\x82\xb7 Relevant courses, papers, projects; include paper or project titles\n\xef\x82\xb7 GPA, honors, awards, scholarships\nEmployment Experience and/or Related Projects\n\xef\x82\xb7 Include all paid, volunteer, intern, or other experiences that are relevant to your objective\n\xef\x82\xb7 Start with most recent experience if using chronological format\n\xef\x82\xb7 Title held, organization name, city, state, or country location (if not U.S.A.)\n\xef\x82\xb7 Dates position held; if several positions for one employer, list employer once responsibilities listed in order of each\nitem\'s relative value to the future employer; indicate transferable skills and adaptive abilities used on the job\n\xef\x82\xb7 Accomplishments on your job; what problems did you face?; what solutions did you find?\n\xef\x82\xb7 Contributions to the organization, i.e., ways your work helped increase profit, membership publicity, funding,\nmotivation, efficiency, productivity, quality; saved time or money; improved programs, management,\ncommunication, information flow etc.\n\xef\x82\xb7 Quantitative or qualitative indicators that describe the results of your contributions or accomplishments, i.e.,\n"increased sales by $50,000";
