b'Job & Internship Guide \xe2\x80\xa2 16-17\n\nResume & Cover Letters\nA\n\nwell crafted resume can set you apart from other candidates. Strong resumes do more than summarize your\neducational background and work history; they emphasize the results of your efforts and draw clear parallels between your\nskills and experience and an employer\xe2\x80\x99s needs.\n\nThe 5 Steps of Resume Development\nStep 1: Analyze the Position Description\n\nRead the position descriptions thoroughly and then highlight all of the keywords which indicate required and preferred skills,\nabilities, attributes, and qualifications. If an employer is looking for someone who is innovative, punctual, and attentive to\ndetail, consider using these same or similar words in your resume.\nBecause there are patterns within industries/fields, you may develop a strong resume template for a particular category of\npositions. Along these lines, it is also often appropriate to have multiple versions of your resume, which may vary in content\nand structure depending on your target.\n\nStep 2: Generate a List of Accomplishments\n\nCreate an inventory of your accomplishments\xe2\x80\x94tasks you enjoyed doing, did well, and are proud of. Include education/\ntraining, volunteer experience, jobs, projects, travel, group or team activities, and skills. There is no one formula for what to\ninclude in a resume\xe2\x80\x94Your resume should uniquely reflect you! Focus on the outcomes of your efforts, including skills you\nhave developed. Quantify your results if possible. Don\xe2\x80\x99t sell yourself short! Resumes are promotional tools.\n\nStep 3: Identify Relevant Skill Areas\n\nFrame your experience so it focuses on skills and achievements that are desirable for that particular position/field/industry.\nMake sure each accomplishment you list highlights a skill the employer is seeking, often listed in the position responsibilities\nand qualifications.\nRemember transferable skills, skills you\xe2\x80\x99ve developed that can be used in many different settings! If you are applying to\nyour first position in a field/industry, consider in detail which skills you have developed (and how) from past experiences that\nmay translate to this new environment.\n\nStep 4: Write Descriptive Phrases\n\nUsing action verbs (see p. 18), write concise phrases to describe experiences that demonstrate your relevant skills. The\naccomplishments on your resume should ultimately be targeted to address an employer\xe2\x80\x99s needs. Do your best to place them\nin order of relevance with the most relevant information as close as possible to the top.\n\nStep 5: Choose a Format\n\nWithin one page, aim to develop a focused, succinct marketing document that clearly communicates your value and relevant\nexperience and skills.\n\n15\n\ncareer.berkeley.edu\n\n\x0cA chronological resume is the most commonly used resume format. Listing your experience in reverse chronological order\n(with the most recent experiences first), this resume format accommodates all industries and levels of experience, and is\npreferred by the majority of employers and on-campus recruiters. Because a chronological resume presents your experience\nfrom most recent (relevant) to least recent (relevant), this format works especially well for students and entry- to mid-level\napplicants to demonstrate a vertical career progression. See p. 19-24 for examples of effective chronological resumes.\nAlthough a chronological resume is often a safe bet for all levels, established professionals who have multiple gaps and/\nor unusually large gaps in their employment history, who are aspiring to make a career change into a new industry, or who\nwant to promote a specific skillset may consider a skills/functional resume format or a hybrid/combination resume format as\nalternatives to the chronological resume format. If appropriate, established professionals may also move beyond a one-page\nresume.\nWhile resume templates may be tempting, they tend to be inflexible; also, employers are often familiar with them and may\nperceive you as lacking ingenuity. Find a format that works for you, and use your own words to develop content that is\nunique to you.\n\nThe Resume Bullet: How To Say It\nResume bullets should describe your skills and accomplishments, reflecting the order or priority that the employer has stated\nin their position description and requirements. Write bullet points for jobs, internships, volunteer experiences and activities\nwhere you\xe2\x80\x99ve developed skills. Consider how these bullet points highlight skills and experiences that match the position\nrequirements. Action-oriented statements highlighting your accomplishments should use concrete language and could\ninclude:\n\xe2\x80\xa2\t What: What task (transferable skill) did you perform? Use action verbs! (See p. 18)\n\xe2\x80\xa2\t Why: Why did you perform this task? e.g. to fulfill a goal, serve a need or make your organization/company\nbetter?\n\xe2\x80\xa2\t How: Specifically how did you perform this task? What equipment, tool, software program, or method did you use to\naccomplish this task?\n\xe2\x80\xa2\t Result: What was the positive result you achieved or impact you made by performing this task (quantitative or\nqualitative)?\n\xe2\x80\xa2\t Adjectives: Spice it up with descriptors; sell yourself\xe2\x80\xa6 go for it!\n\nExamples:\n\nWhat: Created a brochure.\nWhat and How: Created a brochure using InDesign.\nWhat and Why: Created a brochure to generate customer interest in the company\xe2\x80\x99s new line of fall clothing.\nWhat, Why, and Result: Created a brochure to generate customer interest in the company\xe2\x80\x99s new line of fall\nclothing, resulting in high praise from Director of Marketing.\nAdding Adjectives: Created a colorful and eye-catching marketing brochure using InDesign to generate customer interest in\nthe company\xe2\x80\x99s new line of fall clothing, resulting in high praise from Director of Marketing.\nWhat: Tutored students.\nWhat and How: Tutored students using a variety of methods to adjust to different learning styles.\nWhat and Why: Tutored students to help them retain information and improve both grades and overall performance in\nMath and English.\nWhat, Why, and Result: Tutored students to help them improve grades and overall performance; saw marked improvement\nover a three-month period in 100% of students.\nAdding Adjectives:\n\xe2\x80\xa2\t Tutored at-risk youth in Math and English; assessed learning styles of each student and creatively adjusted tutoring style\nbased on results.\n\xe2\x80\xa2\t Affected information retention and overall grade improvement in 100% of students tutored over a three month period.\n\xe2\x80\xa2\t Acknowledged by Director for strong commitment to student success.\n\nJob & Internship Guide \xe2\x80\xa2 16-17\n\n16\n\n\x0c1.\t Leadership\n2.\t Ability to work in a team\n3.\t Communication skills (written)\n4.\t Problem-solving skills\n5.\t Communication skills (verbal)\n6.\t Strong work ethic\n7.\t Initiative\n8.\t Analytical/quantitative skills\n9.\t Flexibility/adaptability\n10.\t Technical skills\nSource: Job Outlook 2016, National\nAssociation of Colleges and Employers\n\nRESUME TIPS FOR FIRST-YEAR STUDENTS\n\xe2\x80\xa2\t You may include work, leadership, and academic\nachievements from high school.

In these cases, draw from your experience of similar positions to infer\nwhich skills and abilities might be required or research similar positions online.\n\xe2\x80\xa2\t Analyze your background\nThink about your background in relation to the position responsibilities and qualifications. Ask yourself, \xe2\x80\x9cWhat have\nI done that is similar to what this position entails?\xe2\x80\x9d Consider courses taken, classroom projects, work experience,\nsummer jobs, internships, volunteer experience, extracurricular involvement, and travel. Be sure to indicate in the first\nparagraph what position you\xe2\x80\x99re seeking. If a specific person recommended you for or alerted you about the position,\ninclude their name and title up front. For example \xe2\x80\x9cJason Ryner, your Marketing Manager, recommended that I apply\nfor this position.\xe2\x80\x9d\n\nProspecting Letters\n\nIf you are inquiring about possible openings, you are sending an Inquiry or Prospecting Letter. Address your letter to\na specific individual, usually the person who supervises the functional area where you\xe2\x80\x99d like to work.

As a Training Department Intern with UCSF, I was responsible for a new\ncomputer software education program. This project allowed me to develop and refine my training and organizational skills while\ndesigning a program to teach basic software applications to users with limited experience working with computers. The success\nof this program has been so overwhelming that the department has integrated it into their new staff training course.\nThrough my experiences at UCSF, it became clear to me that training and development is an incredible passion of mine \xe2\x80\x93 whether\nI am facilitating or designing them, I aim to make all trainings innovative, effective and fun. Yahoo is known for being one of the\nbest employers to work for in the world, in part because of its innovative, inclusive and welcoming training programs. For this\nreason, I am particularly excited to be applying for this position in hopes that I may have the opportunity to contribute to such a\nreputable team in creating and providing top quality employee training.\nAlthough the enclosed resum\xc3\xa9 thoroughly outlines my education and experience, I would appreciate the opportunity to\ndemonstrate in an interview my knowledge of employee training and development, initiative, and interpersonal skills. You can\ncontact me at (650)555-5555 to set up an interview.

Why you?\n\nEvery day as I traveled to school I passed a construction site where a fascinating building started to rise above the\nfence. It was so interesting I searched the Internet to find out the building\xe2\x80\x99s owner. I discovered an equally interesting\ncompany\xe2\x80\x93Widget. I have been following Widget\xe2\x80\x99s story ever since and so was delighted and excited to see your posting\nfor a Summer Analyst.\nBased on my understanding at this stage I believe the following are important:\nQuantitative Skills\nCalled a T-letter because\nthe white space looks like an\nupper-case T.\n\nI discovered I have an aptitude for numerical, analysis, data modeling and software tools\nwhile still in high school. I also discovered a skill at conveying complex concepts so that\nlay people understand. I have also led team efforts to win prizes in national case-based\ncompetitions.\n\nCollaboration\n\nWhen I started at Berkeley I joined the Widget Appreciation Club when it was defining\nitself. Everyone had lots of ideas and everyone was championing their own. I listened to\nall the ideas and then facilitated a group session to pull out the best of all the ideas. The\nresult was everyone felt they had contributed to the Club\xe2\x80\x99s new direction and membership\nrose by over 300% over the following semester.\n\nFast Learner\n\nWhile at high school I helped out at a small local business. They were suffering from\nunreliable computer systems so, in addition to my regular work, I evaluated their needs\nand replacement options. I got the owner\xe2\x80\x99s go-ahead and learned the new system\nin a quarter of the time the supplier expected. I was then able to train the staff so the\nimplementation was smooth and removed all the previous problems.\n\nKey words or phrases\ntaken from their\nposting. Use their high\npriority ones.\n\nI view an internship as a two-way process. I\xe2\x80\x99m certain I would learn a huge amount from you but I would also want to\nbring value to Widget Advisors and I look forward to discuss with what that value might be.\nSincerely,\n\nFreda Jones\nFreda Jones\n\nJob & Internship Guide \xe2\x80\xa2 16-17\n\n30'
