b'Undergraduate Resume Guide\nYour resume is an important tool to market your experiences to prospective employers. It is a professional written document that\ncommunicates your education, work experiences, and skills related to the type of position you are seeking.\n\nTO GET STARTED:\n1) Make a list of experiences you\xe2\x80\x99ve had: Education and training, jobs, internships, research, projects, volunteer work, leadership,\nstudent organizations, etc.\n1) Think about what you contributed, what skills you used and developed, and your significant achievements.\n2) Begin to craft your resume by organizing these experiences into sections (examples below).\nA resume should always include your contact information, education, and experience. Additional resume categories described\nbelow are common sections that may enhance your resume. Keep in mind that the resume you use to apply for a particular\nposition should address the skills and qualifications outlined in the job description, therefore your resume is a fluid document that\nshould continually change.\n__________________________________________________________________________________________________________\n\nCONTACT INFORMATION:\nInclude your name, present and/or permanent address, telephone number, and email address.\nExample of Contact Section:\n\nGoldy Gopher\n7890 West Sixth Avenue\nAnytown, MN 55698\n444-444-1234\ngoldy@umn.edu\n___________________________________________________________________________________________________________\n\nOBJECTIVE:\nA brief statement that indicates what type of position you are seeking. It may also include key skills you bring to the position, which\ntype of industry you want to work in, and/or what company you want to work for. When applying for a specific position, tailor your\nobjective to match the qualifications of the job description and address the company\xe2\x80\x99s needs. If an employer requests a resume\nand cover letter, an objective statement is probably unnecessary as you are addressing your qualifications through the cover letter\nyou submit. If you chose to include an objective statement, make sure that it is well written and enhances your resume.\nExamples of Objective Statements:\nObjective: To obtain the mechanical engineering internship with XYZ company that will utilize my design experience and\ntechnical skills.\nObjective: Seeking a research and development internship with a biomedical company that will allow me to use my skills in\ncommunication, analytical thinking, and problem solving\n___________________________________________________________________________________________________________\n\nEDUCATION:\nInclude all institutions you have attended and are currently attending in reverse-chronological order (most recent first). Include:\nThe degree you are seeking, university name, college name, city and state of the university, your expected graduation date, and\nGPA. Coursework, academic awards, and study abroad programs may also be included in this section. It is not necessary to include\nhigh school information unless there is something pertinent to the position you are applying for or you do not yet have a college\nGPA.\nExample of Education Section:\nBachelor of Mechanical Engineering, Expected May 2015\nCollege of Science and Engineering, University of Minnesota-Twin Cities, Minneapolis, MN\nCumulative GPA: 3.144\nCoursework includes: Computer Aided Engineering, Materials in Design, Design and Manufacturing\n\nPage 1\n\n\x0cSKILLS:\nInclude any tangible skills, such as language, technical, and laboratory skills. Consider including your level of proficiency.\nExample of Skills Section:\nPrograms: Microsoft Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Matlab, Mathematica, AutoCAD\nComputer Languages: Java, C++\nLanguages: Fluent in German\n___________________________________________________________________________________________________________\n\nEXPERIENCE:\nFor each experience (paid or volunteer) include your title, organization name and location, and dates of employment. Then create\na bulleted skills statement, following this formula: Action Verb + Details + Result (when applicable).\nTo format, begin with a bullet point, then use an action verb (see. Pg. 4 for list) that describes the skill used (e.g. \xe2\x80\x9ccreated,\xe2\x80\x9d\n\xe2\x80\x9cresearched,\xe2\x80\x9d \xe2\x80\x9canalyzed,\xe2\x80\x9d etc.) and summarize your duties, accomplishments, and projects. Whenever possible describe the results\nof your efforts.\nExample of Skills Statement: Demonstrates Management Skills:\n\xef\x82\xb7 Weak Skills Statement: \xe2\x80\x9cIn charge of front desk\xe2\x80\x9d\n\xef\x82\xb7 Strong Skills Statement: \xe2\x80\x9cSupervise five front desk workers which includes managing projects, creating schedules,\nand conducting performance evaluations\xe2\x80\x9d\nAvoid using personal pronouns such as \xe2\x80\x9cI\xe2\x80\x9d and make sure your verbs are in the correct tense (past tense for past experiences and\npresent tense for current experiences). List your experiences in reverse chronological order (most recent first). Consider creating\nspecific experience sections to highlight different types of experience, such as \xe2\x80\x9cRelated Experience,\xe2\x80\x9d \xe2\x80\x9cResearch Experience,\xe2\x80\x9d\n\xe2\x80\x9cLeadership Experience,\xe2\x80\x9d etc.\nExamples of Experience Sections:\nWORK EXPERIENCE\nAssistant Manager, XYZ Restaurant\nSt. Paul, MN\nMay 2013-present\n\xef\x82\xb7 Supervise staff of sixteen including cooks, waiters, and hostesses\n\xef\x82\xb7 Track and order weekly inventory equaling more than $2,000 in merchandise\n\xef\x82\xb7 Ensure customer satisfaction by communicating with customers about their dinning experience\nRELATED EXPERIENCE\nIntern, XYZ Company\nRochester, MN\nJan. 2014-present\n\xef\x82\xb7 Assist engineers in designing, building, fixing, and testing prototype light engines, flexible circuit boards, and light\nguides\n\xef\x82\xb7 Facilitate meetings with project teams to help drive decision making for application development\n\xef\x82\xb7 Produce and review diagrams to assist and support the requirements gathering process\n___________________________________________________________________________________________________________\n\nPROJECTS:\nDescribe individual or group work you have done to demonstrate your ability to apply learning to real-life problems.\nExample of Project Section:\nHousehold Chemicals Project, Chemical Principles I Laboratory\nFall 2013\n\xef\x82\xb7 Collaborated with a team of four students\n\xef\x82\xb7 Researched various aspects of the chemical chosen, such as molecular formula, properties, and environmental\neffects\n\xef\x82\xb7 Presented information about a household chemical to design team and classmates\n___________________________________________________________________________________________________________\n\nACTIVITIES:\nInclude involvements with student organizations, volunteer experience, and professional associations.

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\nCalculating results\n\nAsserting\n\nCommunication\n\nListening attentively\nExpressing ideas\nFacilitating discussions\nNegotiating\nPersuading\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 bachelors level candidate\nshould stick to a one-page resume. If your resume is two pages, only print on one side of the paper, and your second page\nshould include your name and \xe2\x80\x9cPage 2.\xe2\x80\x9d\nAvoid using a resume template. This does not allow the opportunity to personalize and to make changes\xe2\x80\x94and your resume is\nan ever changing document.\nYour resume should be well organized, without spelling errors, and easy to read. An employer spends an average of 20-30\nseconds scanning your resume\xe2\x80\x94it is imperative that the employer clearly sees the most important qualifications.\nTo organize your resume, 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 one-inch margin on each side. You can expand the margins if need be. Your 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 your font size and style consistent throughout your resume (except for your name, which should be a larger size).\nPresent your resume on quality bond paper (20 pound)\xe2\x80\x94stick with white and off-white to ensure your resume is easy to read.\nIf you are filling out an online application where you cannot upload your resume directly, keep the format simple when filling\nin the required information.\nIf you are requested to submit your resume via email, save your resume and cover letter (if applicable) as attachments. Include\na brief note in the body of the email stating your purpose.\n\nTIPS FOR RESUME 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\xef\x82\xb7\n\xef\x82\xb7\n\nMake sure that your resume is a unique and personal document. It is a great idea to look at examples of resumes but also\nimportant to make it your own. Please see the \xe2\x80\x9cResume Examples Binder\xe2\x80\x9d in the Resource Center.\nThere are some suggestions that we provide when writing a resume, but there are also options and room for choice. If you give\nyour resume to several people, they may all give you different feedback. Beyond some of our strongly suggested guidelines,\nresumes are subjective.\nBe 100% honest and factual. Avoid abbreviations.\nOrganize your resume so the most relevant 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, height, weight, etc. should not be included.\nAvoid personal pronouns (I, my, we) and complete sentences to describe your experiences. Start your statements with action\nverbs.\nReferences are a separate document from your resume. Reference documents should include your contact information as it\nappears on your resume. List the name, title, company name, address, phone, and email of each reference (see example on\nPg. 9).\nAlways proofread your resume. Do not solely rely on spell check. Some employers may eliminate candidates based on errors.\nIt is suggested to tailor your resume to the job description. You may have more than one version of your resume depending on\nthe positions you are applying for. Employers may do a key word search of the resumes submitted to find those that meet the\njob requirements.\nRemember that your resume is YOUR marketing tool. Many times it is an employer\xe2\x80\x99s first impression of you. It is also a work in\nprogress that you will continually revise.\n\nCURRICULUM VITAE (CV):\n\xef\x82\xb7\n\xef\x82\xb7\n\nA CV is a type of resume most commonly used to apply for research or faculty positions in an academic setting.\nA CV is typically longer in length and provides more detail than a resume. In addition to the basics that you would include on a\nresume, it is common to include publications, presentations, research and teaching experiences, grants, fellowships, and\nawards.\n\nADDITIONAL RESOURCES:\n\xef\x82\xb7\n\xef\x82\xb7\n\xef\x82\xb7\n\nVisit www.cse.umn.edu/career to view our Resume Writing Workshop\nVisit the Resource Center to view our Resume Examples Binder and related books\nHave your resume reviewed by a CSE Career Counselor. You can email it to csecareer@umn.edu. If you would like to meet with\na CSE Counselor to discuss, you can make a 30-45 minute appointment or stop by during Drop-In Advising and Career\nCounseling hours (paper copy only; no
